I was at my mom's house on Sunday and she had Fox News on the TV. Over the course of about 2 hours there were seven stories about the Benghazi "coverup". Fox News simply repeated the same story about outrage over the change in the administrations talking points and interviewed several trios of old white guys. If this is typical "coverage" by Fox News I would guess that they run a "story" on Benghazi at least once per hour every day.
Now rewind to the Abu Ghraib prison abuse stories in 2004. The Bush administration pressured the media to not release the story but by April 2004 both 60 Minutes and the New York Times ran with the story. Remember the outrage by the right wing talking heads over the constant coverage of this "non-story"? I can remember Beck and Limbaugh (with disdain) keeping a running tab on how many days in a row the Abu Ghraib was front page news on the New York Times.
So Tea Partiers, why is it OK for Fox News to have Benghazi stories three times per hour but it was wrong for Abu Ghraib stories to run every day in the NYTimes?
