Of all the broadcast network coverage Monday evening and Tuesday morning of ISIS terrorists beheading twenty-one Christians in Libya, only one reference was made on NBC's Today to President Obama's failed policy in Libya providing an opening to the Islamic extremists.
On the morning show Tuesday, correspondent Andrea Mitchell explained: "Libya, a failed state, further destabilized after the U.S.-led overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi four years ago, has become a hot bed of terrorism....Critics say that the Obama administration has abandoned Libya to the militants, making some question whether even this attack on the Tripoli beach will shock the conscience of the west."
