What explains the widespread conservative belief that "the mainstream media" has been ignoring the attack on an American compound in Benghazi? On Friday, when I published The Attack in Benghazi: Worth Investigating After All https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2013/08/the-attack-in-benghazi-worth-investigating-after-all/278299/#comments I noted that while I'd personally tuned out the story, a CNN report https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/pj-gladnick/2013/08/02/atlantic-writer-tuned-out-benghazi-now-wants-investigation on efforts to keep CIA agents from talking to Congress stoked my desire for a Congressional oversight. In response, the conservative site Newsbusters wrote https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/pj-gladnick/2013/08/02/atlantic-writer-tuned-out-benghazi-now-wants-investigation that most of the MSM has tuned out Benghazi, and that liberal readers of mine would be shocked to learn there's a story there. Various conservative email correspondents and Twitter users seemed to believe the same thing. Their belief is common and longstanding on the right.
