What else did Lara Logan get wrong on her Benghazi "story?" Pretty much everything

[Mikeystyle]

McClatchy blows the lid off of Lara Logan's hatchet job on Benghazi:

"CBS was taken to task for not revealing that Davies, on whose recollections the report was largely based, was the author of a soon-to-be released book published by a CBS-owned publishing company that features the work of politically conservative authors. On Oct. 31, The Washington Post revealed that Davies had filed a report with his employer, Blue Mountain Security, that contradicted his “60 Minutes” account, and The New York Times revealed Nov. 7 that Davies also gave an account to the FBI at odds with the “60 Minutes” version.

After The New York Times story was posted online, CBS quickly purged its websites of any mention of the piece and even demanded that a copy of the segment be removed from YouTube. On Sunday, Logan, in a brief appearance at the end of the regular “60 Minutes” broadcast, acknowledged that Davies had misled her and her crew and that “it was a mistake to include him in our report.”

But Logan’s mea culpa said nothing about other weaknesses in the report that a line-by-line review of the broadcast’s transcript reveals. McClatchy turned to LexisNexis, a legal research service, for a transcript of the broadcast because the segment no longer appeared on CBS sites."

4. McClatchy, 'eh? I seem to recall that it was the McClatchy papers that reported the only truth

on the run-up to the war in Iraq. They were ignored, snubbed, and otherwise left out. And they were the only ones to tell the truth. I'm loving the comments!
