According to Political, Fox News mentioned Benghazi 1,000 times in the past year:

Fox, in fact, has made Benghazi a permanent part of its programming, mentioning the word on no fewer than 1,101 programs in the past year, according to Nexis. The chyron “Benghazi” is almost as much of a permanent fixture on Fox as “Breaking News” is on CNN.
CNN was too busy running breaking news about the lack of news about MH370. Political views this as evidence that FOX was on a Benghazi witch hunt. CNN, of course, was on a desperate hunt for viewers…any viewers.
The White House Correspondents dinner was just plain awful. Obama wasn’t funny; he just made crude and tasteless jokes. There is a huge difference between class and crass. Obama’s jokes weren’t jokes at all; they were just incredibly cheap shots. Only the hard core liberal left would consider any of this to be humorous. This was followed by the comedian. I can’t remember his name and based on his performance no one else will remember it either. He basically read his jokes, his timing was off, he criticized only Republicans and he wasn’t very funny. But he did say something that was extremely significant. He said that he stopped watching CNN and went to FOX for news.
Now, have you watched the news? Not CNN, I mean, like the real news?
He took shots at FOX news too, which was required. But he also admitted that FOX News has won the ratings war.
If the Benghazi story blows sky high, and I think it will, FOX news will come out smelling like a rose. As Political pointed out, FOX kept on this story long after everyone else gave up. Only this wasn’t a story about the lack of news regarding a missing airliner. This was investigative reporters keeping after a story with national significance that the main stream media refused to cover. It is in ways similar to the way the Washington Post kept after Watergate when everyone else had moved on.
This means the Benghazi story may do something important, in addition to exposing the Obama Administration and Hillary Clinton. It may remind CNN and other news organizations what they are supposed to be doing. I predict by this time next year, they will all be after the FOX.
