Here’s news on another 60 Minute interview stating CBS took part in the Benghazi cover up to help with Obama’s reelection.
Sharyl Attkisson details the inside story of how CBS sat on a crucial piece of Benghazi information before the 2012 presidential election:
“What if there was a crucial piece of information with potentially election-altering implications that a leading media organization sat on until the final weekend before a presidential election — information contradicting the storyline advanced by the president and parroted ad nauseam by that very same media organization for several weeks?
Emmy Award winning journalist and former CBS News correspondent and anchor Sharyl Attkisson describes just this scenario in her new book, ”Stonewalled: My Fight for Truth Against the Forces of Obstruction, Intimidation, and Harassment in Obama’s Washington.”
In an episode that would “irreparably destroy any confidence in and respect…I [Attkisson] might have had for those at the network who were involved,” Attkisson explains that CBS News made an explicit effort to corroborate the Obama administration narrative that the president had referred to Benghazi as an “act of terror” on Sept. 12, 2012, while sitting on evidence from their own interview with the president on that date confirming that he would not refer to Benghazi as a terrorist attack.
It’s Friday afternoon. A colleague calls.
“You know that interview 60 Minutes did with Obama in the Rose Garden on September twelfth?” the colleague says.
…”I just got a transcript of the entire interview.”
The colleague proceeds to read to me from the transcript. It’s undeniably clear to both of us. We instantly know that the interview that had been kept under such a tight wrap for nearly eight weeks is explosive.
The very first comment Kroft made, and the president’s response proved that Romney had been correct all along:
Kroft Mr. President, this morning you went out of your way to avoid the use of the word terrorism in connection with the Libya attack.
Obama Right.
Kroft’s take on the president’s wording and intent was the same as mine had been and, according to the president himself, at the same time, our take was correct. All the synonyms used by Obama, Clinton, White House spokesman Carney, and Ambassador Rice were intentional. They “went out of [their] way to avoid the use of the word terrorism.”
Then Kroft asked a question that offered the president the opportunity to clarify or at least hint at the behind-the-scenes conclusions already formed by nearly everyone on the inside: that the attacks were the work of terrorists. But the president balked.
Kroft Do you believe that this was a terrorist attack?
Obama Well, it’s too early to know exactly how this came about, what group was involved, but obviously it was an attack on Americans.”

So glad Ms. Attkisson left CBS and as an ethical reporter is informing us with facts and truth.
