Proof Sunday morning that Republicans can use their power to hold House
hearings to force media coverage of topics journalists have shown
little interest in probing. CBS's Face the Nation led with an
“exclusive” which Darrell Issa, Chairman of the House Committe on
Oversight and Government Reform, gave host Bob Schieffer about the upcoming testimony from Greg Hicks, the second in command in Libya at the time of the Benghazi attacks.
“Today,” Schieffer touted, “there is new information raising questions about whether there was a cover-up by the State Department to deflect criticism that it had ignored requests for more security for its people in Libya.”
Time was, several decades ago, that local and regional news in many
parts of the country served as a bit of an antidote against the
relentlessly biased national establishment press. That certainly isn't the case in Aurora, Colorado, site of last year's horrible theater murders at the alleged hands of James Holmes. Dave Perry, the editor of the Aurora Sentinel, wrote a column
on April 25 proving that he is not fit to hold his current position,
especially when it comes to overseeing reporting on Second Amendment
matters. Among other things, he characterized the National Rifle
Association as "the real terrorist threat here in America" whose members
are "guilty monsters" who should be "sent to Guantanamo Bay for all
eternity" (bolds are mine; HT Instapundit):
