In reply to the discussion: Former '60 Minutes' Producer: Discredited Benghazi Story Was Done To Appeal To Conservatives [View all]applegrove
(118,636 posts)11. And 60 minutes is investigative journalism. So in seeking the truth
most of its stories would have a liberal bent. Because the information in their ideal investigations are 1) New 2) true. Both of which denote liberalism. So I can see pressure being put on them to do a conservative story or two that would necessarily be 1) Old 2) Untrue. Which they did with this Benghazi story.

There is no liberal media. There is no liberal media. There is no liberal media.
