Fox News has launched a cover up of Mitt Romney's debate falsehood that President Obama waited 14 days before calling the deadly September attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, an act of terror.

While debate moderator Candy Crowley immediately corrected Romney's falsehood during the October 16 presidential debate, pointing out that Obama called the attack an act of terror during his first public comments after it occurred, Fox anchor Bret Baier started the Fox cover up during the network's post-debate coverage. Baier claimed Obama wasn't “specifically speaking about Benghazi” when he referred to the attack on September 12 as an act of terror, but rather was speaking “generically.”

Sean Hannity followed suit, claiming that Obama was actually referring to the September 11, 2001, attacks. Straight news anchor John Roberts said that because the remarks “came at the end” of his speech, it's unclear that Obama was referring to Benghazi.

Fox's effort to cover up Romney's debate falsehood continued throughout its October 17 coverage. Watch:

At the same time Fox was trying to deflect from one Romney debate falsehood, they were completely ignoring many other Romney falsehoods from the debate, including his debunked boast that his economic agenda will be responsible for creating 12 million new jobs in 4 years.

Independent analysts have concluded that Romney cannot back up his claim with real math, and economists estimate that the economy is already on track to create that many jobs.
