CNN: OMG! OMG! Republicans trying to take down Hillary!!!!

The left leaning Daily Beast this morning reported the following about Hillary Clinton and Boko Haram:

The State Department under Hillary Clinton fought hard against placing the al Qaeda-linked militant group Boko Haram on its official list of foreign terrorist organizations for two years. And now, lawmakers and former U.S. officials are saying that the decision may have hampered the American government’s ability to confront the Nigerian group that shocked the world by abducting hundreds of innocent girls.

Republicans have jumped on this today and criticized Hillary for it, and rightfully so. After all, it’s Boko Haram we’re talking about, a group that has made a pledge to rid Northern Nigeria of Christians and they have followed through by killing and maiming thousands and thousands of Christians by gun and by suicide bomb. They’ve also killed quite a few Muslims as well.

So that’s what this CNN report is about.

Now that you know that, just look at this CNN Chyron:

I’m surprised it doesn’t have a Drudge style flashing siren on it. And the way they worded it makes it sound quite political. They could have easily said “Questions raised about Hillary’s State Dept. Tenure” or something along those lines. They could have even attributed it to Republicans, despite the fact that it came from The Daily Beast, and still made it sound OK.

So you get into the report and CNN goes through some of this and then makes the following statement:

“Clinton concentrates mainly on social issues near and dear to hear heart. But her political opponents are trying to chip away at her tenure at the State Dept., something voters consider a political positive according to polls.”

Right after saying that, they move to House Republicans forming a Select Committee to investigate Benghazi, I guess to ‘chip away’ at her tenure or something.

Then they note that Clinton has dismissed the need for further investigation.

“I do not believe there is any reason for it to continue in this way but they get to call the shots in the Congress.”

This report should have been about legitimate questions being raised about Clinton not classifying Boko Haram a terrorist organization. But instead it was about Republicans trying to take down Hillary Clinton.
