Fox Anchor: Team Obama Threatens Reporter's Career - Reports 'Put Broadcaster's Job In Jeopardy'

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Bob Unruh / WND

Fox News anchor Greta Van Susteren charges that the Obama administration tried to press her to shut down a colleague’s reporting on the jihadist attack in Benghazi, Libya, that cost the lives of a U.S. ambassador and three other Americans.

Van Susteren asserted recently on her blog that the administration made an extensive effort to conceal what happened in Benghazi. She cited U.S. officials’ refusal to include the Fox News Channel in several Benghazi briefings along with a warning that her colleague’s career would be ruined if she persisted in her reporting on the attack.

The Fox News host recalled a “disturbing phone call from a good friend in the Obama administration” shortly after the Sept. 11, 2012, attack, which the administration initially blamed on a protest of an anti-Islam video.

Jennifer Griffin serves as a national security correspondent for Fox News

“In this call, my friend told me that my colleague Jennifer Griffin, who was aggressively reporting on Benghazi, was wrong and that, as a favor to me, my friend in the administration was telling me so that I could tell Jennifer so that she did not ruin her career,” Van Susteren wrote.

Van Susteren said that in her 20-plus years in the business, she had never received a call to try and shut down a colleague.

“Here is what I know: Jennifer is a class act … experienced … and a very responsible journalist. One of the absolute best in the business – no ax to grind, she just wants the facts.”

Van Susteren said she challenged her friend in the Obama administration to provide facts to back up her charge against Griffin.

“I told my friend before I go to Jennifer telling her she is wrong, I need proof she is wrong, strong proof and you need to be specific – what are you saying she is getting wrong?”

      Nice TV network you have there….it would be a pity to seen anything happen to it…..

        I think Greta Van Susteren should dress like a lady and not like a man – what happened to her? Every time I switch the channel and she’s on, I turn the channel so fast, then go to Kim Kadashion because there I can see what a brainless goddess looks like. Where is the in between beauty, brains and pretty clothes, I miss women being better looking on tv. I didn’t think people watched cable news anymore, people get their news from the net, tv for many is so over. Greta Van Susteren needs to put on a dress, some earings, decent make up and then get some advice on how to do radio so people dont have to look at her.

      Plain to see that fox is also bought, and paid for……..In the end money talks……….

      Even the am radio talk show host, most of them have turncoat, very obvious.
      Rush that use to speak about politics have totally turn his show into a kiddo program.yeah now have kids phoning in, and using the show to sell his books. Someone scared the crap out that host.

      Hannity, now only talks about himself………pist cause he lost his time slot to Savage “Give me 15 minutes, and I will give you the world” Hannity is saying he is for sure leaving NY, heading to Florida, or Texas…leaning more Florida cause he likes to fish….yeah right…….Guess if he takes a charter they will bait his hook, and clean any fish, hope he wears his old shoes, sea sick puke is hard to get out of sneakers.

      I do not know what to think about savage have not listened to him much……he sure does call Hannity a “Wall banger”

      Oh, there is one Host that is crazy yeah Chris Krok….Totally a crock…..he likes to hang up on his callers……although he get so steamed when a caller hangs up, or someone insults him, and it take awhile to register ……this guy is a kook comedian, if you want a laugh it is ok..although he will contradict himself every few minutes ….He likes to stay in the groove, even if his caller is plainly a female he still calls her Dude…the guy is batcrap crazy…….for a good laugh check him out.

      Mark Levin, a guy that is into more than he talks about, and he does not talk about his clothes, or who he is dining with…….he has good knowledge about the Constitution…….sometimes he gets burnt out, and needs a break, but always seems to come back strong…..and can get a good rant going.

        Finally someone tells it like it is! I gave up on Fox entertainment years ago! They are traitors to the USA public and now they cry foul. Well Boo Hoo.

      The ADM has been trying to cover up This story from the beginning. I hope ALL THE TRUTH COMES OUT AND FOX SHOULD KEEP REPORTING THE FACTS SEEMS NO ONE ELSE WILL OR CAN

    • Bronson

      Note:
      hannity the radio host also has a slot on the FOX news……Sure seems like someone got to him big time….They try to make the shift subtle, although it is so noticeable someone got to em. I think he even changed his political preference.
      His talk show is now sick. He has alway had some fake persona about him. Now it is over with, all he talks about is his private life as if he is scared to get into the real politics, the real news.

      Rush now has kids phoning in, and even reading his kiddo books on air, he imagines himself as a character in his kiddo books…….forget the real politics with this guy those days are over….it is now more about selling, kiddo books, tea, and pushing Iphones, and talking about himself….Oh, and he now talks down at rich people,,,what?

      Chris Kroft, One word CRAZY funny, slobbers alot, think a lot of bats flying around in a cave…..you get the picture……..they put him on air just to fill slots no one wants,

    • Thorin Oakenshield

      Who cares, they’re all hacks and shills anyway!

    • StavoV

      Let’s see…..what gw bush and his criminal family did to democratic reporters, bordered on complete tyranny and fascism. So glad to see that Pres. Obama is not afraid to beetch slap some those silly fake rightwing FOX Comedy News reporters around a little bit. :razz:
