Some of us have taken the mainstream media to task for not
reporting objectively about the Obama administration.
It is altogether fair that we praise the mainstream media when it does great work.
Witness Lara Logan’s 60 Minutes report on what happened in
Benghazi two years ago.
Logan does not have enough information to trace the
decision-making through the State Department or up to the White House, but she
offers a chilling picture of how the administration left Ambassador Stevens and
his staff vulnerable and unprotected.
This link to the CBS site provides a transcript of the
program.
Logan closes her report by observing what has happened in Libya since the attack. Worse in many ways, we have not even bothered to clean up the compound:
The U.S. pulled out of
Benghazi and al Qaeda has grown in power across Libya. When a member
of our team went to the U.S. compound earlier this month, he found remnants of the
Americans' final frantic moments still scattered on the ground. Among
them Amb. Stevens' official schedule for Sept.12, 2012, a day he didn't live to
see.

Your therapeutic premise might have merit for a wayward child,Stuart.
For a series of commercial organizations
claiming to protect a public trust to foster an informed citizenry,they have a LONG way to go to establish ANY level of trustworthniess.

Of course, they have a long way to go, but shouldn't we encourage them when they take a step in the right direction?
Sure, Stuart, and then say "What took you so long?"
