Soros funded Media Matters is upset with Fox for reporting on Benghazi and pulling the “birther” label in an effort to silence the truth. According to Media Matters, the Benghazi topic should not be open to discussion due to the fact that a retired Navy Seal is an admitted “birther.” Media Matters is additionally upset with Fox News for not mentioning this detail in the video report seen below:
MediaMatters reports the following:
Fox News hyped a letter from a group with birther ties to renew conspiracy theories about the terrorist attack on the U.S. diplomatic facility in Benghazi, Libya, last September.
On April 8, a group of Special Operations veterans released a letter calling for an investigation on the Benghazi attack and posed various questions stemming from long-debunked conspiracy theories, many of which have been pushed by Fox News figures.

“It appears that many of the facts and details surrounding the terrorist attack which resulted in four American deaths and an undetermined number of American casualties have not yet been ascertained by previous hearings and inquiries,” the letter states. It continues further, “Additional information is now slowly surfacing in the media, which makes a comprehensive bipartisan inquiry an imperative. Many questions have not been answered thus far.” The letter puts forth over twenty unanswered questions the select committee should address.
