CBS In The Tank for Obama, Truth Be Damned

If we didn't already suspect it, this is proof positive...

From Breitbart:

In an astonishing display of media malpractice, CBS News quietly released proof--two days before the election, far too late to reach the media and the public--that President Barack Obama lied to the public about the Benghazi attack, as well as about his later claim to have called the attack "terrorism" from the beginning.

CBS unveiled additional footage from its 60 Minutes interview with President Obama, conducted on Sep. 12 immediately after Obama had made his statement about the attacks in the Rose Garden, in which Obama quite clearly refuses to call the Benghazi an act of terror when asked a direct question by reporter Steve Kroft:

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, do you believe that this was a terrorism attack?

OBAMA: Well it’s too early to tell exactly how this came about, what group was involved, but obviously it was an attack on Americans.  And we are going to be working with the Libyan government to make sure that we bring these folks to justice, one way or the other.


Therefore, Obama's later claim to have considered the Benghazi attack to be a deliberate act of terror from the get-go was a bald-faced lie.

CBS knew as much, and sat on the footage that would have blown their home-boy's story out of the water. It was released, quietly, unannounced, on Sunday--far too late to enter the debate, but early enough for arse-covering. In other words, they actively abetted the lie.

Any behavior will do, just so long as it achieves the desired result.

These people have. to. go., before they get us all killed.
