CBS is getting hammered on Twitter tonight...most concise I've seen?

[NRaleighLiberal]

by the way - no I didn't watch...and will never watch 60 minutes again.

CBS's outrageous double standard: The handling of Lara Logan story vs. Dan Rather story/ http://wapo.st/1bi86rS

Barracks O'Bama ?@P0TUS 56m
Dear @60Minutes and Lara Logan: Your breathy "Correction" not accepted. You weren't duped. You duped yourself and your viewers.

'60 Minutes' Benghazi story
This reminds me of Geraldo Rivera claiming to be in Iraq when he was really in an Arizona desert

Gina ?@redhed67 4m
#Next60MinutesReport 'We're Very Sorry...That We Got Caught'

and countless others...

and a great hashtag has shown up - seen in this one (worth searching the hashtag)

Jeff Gauvin ?@JeffersonObama 5m
While President Bush was clearing Texas Brush for 8 years..where was Obama? Was he masterminding Benghazi? #60MinutesBenghaziStories

some really snarkily funny ones coming in!

1. It's probably why they want to go for the right wing audience

Pox viewers just sit passively, chewing their cuds. It would never occur to them to complain about a substandard story---they all are.

8. I hate to tell CBS this...

But FOX viewers are NOT gonna change the channel - especially to some Lamestream Media station!

[Spitfire of ATJ]

10. The origin of the FOX "News" audience...

[PatSeg]

14. I agree

FOX viewers think CBS and even CNN are liberal stations straight from the Soviet Union.

2. LL has shady ethics.

But she's blonde!

[dchill]

9. But how could THAT be for real, either?

[progressoid]

12. And she has a respectable accent.

3. I wonder how long they had to wander through the thesaurus to find the word "disappointing" to

describe what might under other circumstances, have been called muckraking or yellow journalism to name a couple.

CBS is in Geraldo Rivera territory now.

[Iggo]

13. I didn't know that was a synonym for "intentionally misleading."

[Warpy]

4. The parts I've read have been remarkably civil

I think everybody who passed on this story needs to be tarred and feathered and blacklisted forever. Logan shouldn't even be allowed to describe brides' dresses on a society page.

5. see my other OP for context -- another wingnut last month on 60 minutes

6. They implied that this was just a minor detail that didn't really change their report

That's ridiculous. The whole thesis of their segment is proven false.

7. Leave a message under the story

on the 60 minutes website as well. Only 38 comments so far.

She doesn't deserve to be a journalist. This is too big a story and the ramifications too dangerous to get away with what she tried to pull off here.She needs to lose her job on the show. Can't believe she blamed the source of the lie instead of blaming herself.

[Moonwalk]

11. Actually, half the comments I read are all "there's more to this..." and "Obama killed the story..."

...and "the reason Fox is so popular is because people want real news not liberal propaganda..." OY! Why did you lure me into reading that shit?

15. CBS, 60 Minutes and Logan violated the public trust.

I'm done with them. I must say the only reason I have been watching them lately is out of habit. Their product has deteriorated tremendously. I'll be doing something else with my time on Sunday evenings from now on.

16. My viewing of CBS News with Scott Pelley and 60 Minutes is all in the past: good riddance
