Because the majority of news networks in the United States are privately owned, they are indefinitely subject to investigation. Of course, it would be difficult for the U.S' corrupt government to conduct an internal investigation as one might discover and publicize lobbying and bribing issues. I would say, however, that the most logical person should take what news articles say with a grain of salt. Their inability to cease sensationalizing about non-issues like the IRS' uneven allocation of resources shortly before the presidential race, or the Bengazi "controversy".
We have to remember that media sources are companies. They are in it for the money, and frankly they have a lot of it. So while they should constitutionally be subject to investigation, I think the money may very well prevent a major scandal.

Al-Qaida killing one of our ambassadors in Libya after Hillary Clinton denied additional security to the compound and several flag officers being fired for trying to save said ambassador is "non-news"? I'm seriously calling bull on that.

I'm seriously calling bull on that. Where did I say it was non-news? I said it was a non-issue. What do you think additional bodies would have done to prevent the attack? The problem was not with a deficiency in security, it was a problem with intel. My own father is an intelligence officer, and worked on the matter.

Alright, let's say we go with the assumption that intel dropped the ball. As I recall, the Ambassador himself said he needed more security based on what he was observing and getting reports on. Request was denied even though he was the one with boots on the ground and knew the situation better than the people in charge of the security. Also, mind if I ask which agency your father works with?

Boots on the ground reporting falls under "human intelligence" for one. Two, the IC routinely gets thrown under the bus for command fuck-ups, so I take a lot of what had been reported regarding an "intelligence failure" with a grain of salt.

However, "spur of the moment" requests demanding more security are to be looked upon skeptically when contrasted with intel that suggests otherwise. It was a mistake, no doubt, but there is not some massive federal cover-up, nor would it be logical to hold any single person accountable. The media is sensationalizing about it because it makes good money, not because anyone is particularly interested in any sense of justice. Do you want to know what true justice would be? Focusing on the corruption of the senate. Instead we are presented with these mask issues designed to distract us from continuous corporate deregulation and subsequent takeover.

www.motherjones.com/politics/2013/06/kyanonymous-fbi-steubenville-raid-anonymousSticking this here, as it pertains to people and their source material. Honestly were I in this guy's place, I'd be proud of my actions, and not be protesting the loss of my toys. The raid was unfair and outrageous, but once it became clear I leaked the information, then I would have expected as a cost of doing business.

Anonymous needs to learn they aren't the gods of the net they claim to be. While I share many of their views, I draw the line at some of the shit they pull since it usually hurts our position instead of helping it. Oh, and most of the time they act like bullies anyways.

That's the problem with anarchists though. When it's only your morals keeping you from doing wrong and you have an "everyone's welcome " sign on the door you are gonna get some twerps in.

Yeah. Just ask the Bosnians how that one worked out for them in 1914.
