I have a lot of problems with the Benghazi committee, such as the right-wing canard suggesting that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the CIA are somehow responsible for the tragic 2012 death of U.S. Ambassador to Libya J. Christopher Stevens. But I also have problems with people who dismiss the Benghazi hearings in their entirety as nothing more than a partisan witch hunt, which is the standard approach by most big media.

To take one recent example, The Washington Post's Dana Milbank, in a typically insufferable column, whined about how much the committee was focusing on longtime Clinton confidant Sidney Blumenthal (who before becoming a political assassin was a journalist who worked for publications such as the Post, The New Republic and The New Yorker). Fortunately, the heroic Hillary Clinton, whose October 23 testimony before the committee was the focus of Mr. Milbank's column, "refused to get riled."
