Why’s the media so interested in 1 dead Saudi but didn’t care about 4 dead Americans?

Rush just mentioned this and I thought I’d ask here.

Why is it that the American Media is so obsessed over a Saudi reporter murdered in Turkey in the one hand but was (and still is) completely uninterested in the 4 murdered Americans (one of which was the US Ambassdor) killed in the 2012 Benghazi attack??

What’s so special about this Saudi dude?

Its an attempt to pin the murder on the Trump administration.

I thought the same thing this morning when the 7:00 news talking heads started off on this story.

That isn't true.

They covered it well up until they found out that it wasn't actually part of a spontaneous protest but part of a well-coordinated attack.

I'm more disturbed about the missing 13 year old girl and her murdered parents in Wisconsin. This Saudi guy was a POS.

What amazes me is figs being dropped on their heads off of 4 story buildings doesn't even make the news but this guy is all of a sudden all over it...

I mean, I know why the media didn't cover Benghazi... Not covering the figs is just not being true to their beliefs...

Your average media member, upon their death and standing in front of God, when asked why s/he should be allowed into Heaven, will reply "first of all, you're sitting in my chair".

Because they think that we aren't far away from Fox News televising Trump chopping up a member of the press corps in the Oval Office.

Because Trump wasn’t behind the murders at Benghazi, silly. Well we can never say never.

He was pretty critical of the Saudi government. That earns some positive points.

Probably because of the numerous investigations into benghazi that turned up no wrong-doing.

Also.. have you considered why Rush is so interested in whataboutism on this particular issue?

Does his relationship with Bin Laden bother you at all?

Not unless it comes out that the guy actually was a member of AQ and supported bin Laden.
