Simon & Schuster pulling Benghazi book

The publisher for Dylan Davies, the source of "60 Minutes" controversial Benghazi report, announced on Friday that they are pulling his book "in light of information" brought to their attention since its publication.

Threshold Editions, a subsidiary of Simon & Schuster, which is owned by CBS, said in a statement they are notifying stores that copies of the book, titled "The Embassy House," can be returned to the publisher. The book was released last week on Oct. 29.

"In light of information that has been brought to our attention since the initial publication of The Embassy House, we have withdrawn from publication and sale all formats of this book, and are recommending that booksellers do the same," Threshold Edition spokesperson Jennifer Robinson said in a statement. "We also are notifying accounts that they may return the book to us."

CBS had already come under fire for not disclosing that the CBS owned Simon & Schuster was publishing a book by Davies about his Benghazi experience. Both Jeff Fager, the chairman of CBS News and executive producer of "60 Minutes," and correspondent Lara Logan have said they regretted not including a disclosure.

10. They were so quick to fire DR so when are they going to fire her? nt

12. Hate to say it, but who is she married to, related to, etc?

Many of these overpaid shills are 'connected' by marriage or family to the wealthiest people. Greenspan's wife and others like Crowley come to mind, but the same goes for the men, too.

They never fire their family members. Networks make sure to keep their kids on the take, with no qualifications required, obviously. They just show up and babble.

But those not connected by blood, like Dan, Phil, Keith or whoever, are the first to walk the plank if the owners don't like them, even if the public loves them. It's not a free market or profit driven, even.

The family members who are guaranteed their job then join to smear the reputation of the one who was booted, who was an outsider. Another acronym for CBS would be to use the word Crony or Chum, whatever, I guess.
