60 Minutes expose on Benghazi — Page 3

I went to HS in USA. Learned about it there. We learned that when Cronkite said Vietnam was a bad war and the war was lost, the country turned against Johnson and the war and got Nixon elected as the pendulum swung the other way. Which happens alt in America.

---

Wow my history classes never made it past WWII. And I never saw an American history book that went into great detail about Cronkite's report, but I do know the veracity of the piece was not challenged. It's not as if he interviewed soldiers who told him about the futility of the war and then later it was revealed that those soldiers weren't actually there. So again, you've brought up a totally unrelated issue to try to change the subject. And seriously, this is a subject a 52 year old native born American had to look up to be prepared to discuss with you, someone who wouldn't be born (on the other side of the world) for 25 years. Who were we fighting (by proxy) in Viet Nam? Wasn't it Russia (or the Soviet Union if you prefer?) I'd think a Russian girl might have a VERY different perspective-- but then you aren't a Russian girl and no one thinks you are.

"Sue" why not drop this charade? You had obviously tested a new persona this weekend- why not bury this clunky 20 year old Russia girl and write a decent character? No one buys it. NO ONE.

Joe. I'm guessing as a 52 year old you have no idea what's taught in schools or what's in History books. At least I hope not. It would be creepy if yiu did.

Oh and if you were as smart as you thought you'd know China was helped North Vietnam. Ussr was just selling them arms as they did dozens of countries. As did the USA like afghanistsn and iran for example!.

So CBS and 60 Minutes have removed the story from its website.

Statement from CBS News here:
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-18560_162-57611428/60-minutes-reviewing-account-of-morgan-jones-on-benghazi/

I am pretty sure the removal of the story from its website says it all, however.

'Mob hit'? There are documents and a trail that proves almost nothing in the book could've happened. The author is a liar who is making money off a tragedy where people died and making a fictional account that makes him heroic.

60 Minutes plans to issue a correction on the story.

It takes a big man and a dose of real honesty and character to admit you are wrong. Kudos to CBS and Lara Logan. Hey, these things happen.

I doubt we will hear any such apology or admission of 'getting the facts wrong' from Roxy or Sue or even Fox News or Drudge. They already HATE Obama/Hillary and it would just kill them to admit they got a lie they fell for about them wrong.Keep on hating. It's what you do best!

Maybe it's because I saw The Waltons book burning episode at an impressionable age, but I get a little squirmy when books are squelched.

Well its good they apologized if they got that part of the story wrong

"Well its good they apologized if they got that part of the story wrong"

Yes it is. What sucks are the haters who go onto message boards who start threads over this lie and then go on as business as usual.They just hope those who bought the story are stupid enough not to ask questions.Those are the REAL liars. Hannity. Drudge. Fox News.Let's see if they correct their errors after reporting this LIE.Rachel Maddow fell for a hoax and reported it as if it were fact and went on the next night retracting the story and admitted she got the story wrong.Even Bill O'Reilly has corrected stories he has reported on.

I agree. Kudos to Lara and CBS. It's the internet trolls who go onto message boards and start threads and then run away not even having the balls to apologize and say they were wrong. These are the scum bags that are dishonest parasites. They need to vent their hatred towards all things Obama somewhere I suppose. They are pathetic and disgusting. We have some here on BWW. They know who they are. They are cowards and liars,nothing more.

If we're going to pull back books that contain lies there are going to be an awful lot of space in the Sean Hannity section.

a simple google search instead of relying on the lefty blogs would have shown you youre getting upset about nothing....

Tying up loose ends:

--Fox had cited the “60 Minutes” story repeatedly to validate its earlier reporting. “We stand by our reporting on Benghazi, and given what is still unknown, we anticipate further fact finding from those who know the truth about what took place on 9/11/12,” said Michael Clemente, executive vice president of news for Fox News.

--There were no indications Friday that anyone at CBS would be fired for the Benghazi report.


There you go- the report was riddled with lies but conservatives are going to stand by it and no one will be punished for it. Business as usual- even a 20 year old Russian school girl should be disgusted.
