Fox News’ Megyn Kelly started off her May 9 interview with the Media Research Center’s Dan Gainor by claiming that “If you look at sort of across the mainstream media, it was a collective yawn in response to yesterday’s Benghazi coverage” — that is, the Republican-led hearing on the issue.
Kelly is wrong — as the Washington Post’s Erik Wemple points out, both the New York Times and Washington Post put it on their front pages, and all three network evening newscasts carried lengthy segments on the hearing.
But rather than correct Kelly, Gainor prattled forward with his right-wing talking points about how this supposed “collective yawn” was a “continuation of their policy to minimize a scandal that makes Hillary Clinton look really bad.”
But then, Gainor’s a right-wing apparatchik, so he would stick to the talking points instead of telling the truth.
