Ingraham: Media "Culpable" In Libya Cover Up For Not Demanding Truth

LAURA INGRAHAM: I think about Susan Rice going out there on this show and four other shows on Sunday and I'd like to know, did Susan Rice have any direct or indirect contact with anyone from the Obama campaign? David Axelrod? Plouffe? Maybe Valerie Jarrett, she still works in the White House, but obviously very close to the President. Tom Donilon. I would like to know that. I'd like Mr. Axelrod to answer that question.



I would hope that the New York Times, as they camped outside of Scooter Libby's house during the whole Valerie Plame thing -- are you guys (facing fellow panelist Jeff Zeleny of the New York Times) camped outside of the Susan Rice residence? I mean, seriously. Whether she was put out as a sacrificial lamb or not.



We have a dead ambassador, two Navy SEALS dead, another security officer dead, the President answers this the next morning by flying to Vegas for a fundraiser. I submit that if this were a Republican president and this went down this way, you'd have reporters camped outside of Hillary's house, Rice's house and demand that the president do a full-blown press conference on what happened. Maybe it's just incompetence, maybe it's a series of innocent mistakes. But my goodness, when you have three attacks, violent attacks, inside Benghazi on the Red Cross office, the consulate and then postings on Facebook that we're coming after you on September 10. They didn't have any actionable intelligence? What? This is ridiculous. And I think that the press is partly culpable here.
