Khattala

News' Adam Housley suddenly flipped his own network's script, calling the capture of Ahmed Abu Khattala not "that big of a deal," and accused the White House of embellishing his role in the deadly Benghazi attacks -- a report that's inconsistent with other Fox News reports naming Khatalla as a key suspect.  
American forces apprehended Khattala in Libya on June 15. When the news broke on June 17, Fox News quickly reported the top militia leader's arrest. Then on June 27, Khattala went from a top terrorism leader to small potatoes. 
Fox News diminished Khattala's capture, suggesting the militia leader was small time and the Obama administration is ignoring "actionable intelligence" on larger suspects. On the June 27 edition of Fox News' America's Newsroom, Fox correspondent Adam Housley reported that Khattala's capture "wasn't that big of a deal at all," because Khattala was considered by officials to be "low-hanging fruit." Housley capitalized on diminishing Khattala's profile in order to criticize President Obama for failing to follow through on his "promise to stay focused on hunting down those responsible for the 2012 attack.":
you can always tell in election season when all the republican fantasy scandals and misleading's are no longer working and the desperation seeps into their ground game how many recent news events were designed to take your mind off Pres. and their faux tales of failure, still trying to pin their tales on the head donkey to no avail.  sure some polls suggest it works but didn't all the polls in 2012 say "ROMNEY"?

the soccer world cup, my favorite but pick any recent story and you'll find a trailer by Fox claiming it to be a deliberate diversion by Pres. to get your mind off his supposed problems mostly created by them, hey isn't that again them blaming him for not doing their job which for 6 years has been to divert you?  if you're going to make up crap run it up the pole first and if you get a whiff of elephant dung don't use it.
