'We were wrong': CBS's Lara Logan apologizes for Benghazi report
Source: CNN
CBS correspondent Lara Logan apologized Friday and said the network was "wrong" for a "60 Minutes" report that raised questions about the Obama administration's response to last year's attack on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya. The assault left four Americans dead, including Ambassador Christopher Stevens.
"In this case, we were wrong. We made a mistake," she said on "CBS This Morning." "That's disappointing for any journalist. It's very disappointing for me."
A primary source for the "60 Minutes" report on October 27 was a security contractor using the pseudonym "Morgan Jones," later identified as Dylan Davies. Davies told CBS he was able to reach the Benghazi compound on the night of September 11, 2012, scale a wall and even fight off a militant.
That story cast doubt on whether the Obama administration sent all possible help to try to save Stevens and his three colleagues. The "60 Minutes" story was cited by congressional Republicans who have demanded to know why a military rescue was not attempted . . .

Congrats to Media Matters and others who called out CBS for this junk.

Thats the only kind of "journalist"
allowed on air in these corporate "news" programs anymore eh?
as you used on the original 'report'.
Don't think of just yourself; pity the poor. poor Republicans! They must be screaming, kicking their little feet and turning blue!
(for those who need it)
Wait, that's not true. My first thought was "where is my wine?", my second thought was "Dan Rather was hung out to dry for less". My third thought was "where is the corkscrew?"
Its been a loooooong day….
in order to get the story." Remember that gem from her interview with Charlie Rose last year?
As if she's the first person to discover flattery when she actually is the last to realize it has almost no place in the professional journalist's repertoire.
...as those who cannot see.

Hey, this could be fun! 
Ms. Lindsey can be found on his fainting couch.
At an event just like that too...with lots of people watching 
She had a mind of her own. Really embarrassing falling off at a show like that 
And it hurts.
every time he climbed on his sister's horse it would run to the nearest tree and rub him off
That can be taken so many ways...
at work a tech guy was helping me with a laptop issue; he said OK, GO AHEAD AND JACK IT OFF (of its station)

I hope that CBS will also make a public apology on 60 Minutes this Sunday.
I don't get it, thousands of people both civilian and military, died during the Bush years: two wars, 9/11/01, 60 plus people attacked by terrorists at diplomatic posts, etc. and the RW is foaming at the mouth over four people????
The death of the ambassador and the others was a tragedy that I hope is never repeated, but the way the RW is going after Obama and Hillary is way over the top.
Lara will probably go on air and issue an apology. Five minutes tops.
FUCK 'EM!
You know this will be used to hurt Democrats who Obama has campaigned for and winning. That lame protest in Dallas was created by this oh, so delicious lie. They've also been caught lying about the ACA for their Koch masters. They are a cancer, destroying a major source for many people to make informed voting choices.
I'd wish the FCC would yank their license, but then we really would be the party CBS represents.
have a link to that Fuck 'Em gif? I love it
That's usually me at work.
A sense of humor is what keeps us all sane in this crazy world.
I'm back. Here's the link, just cut the space I made with a paragraph to create one 'sentence' and that will give you the link in your browser, or just to paste in a message box. It'll read as a 'sentence' when compressed that way in your edit function, but will pop up as a picture in preview or posting. Here goes:

Give it a try and let me know how it works! You can also post that into another screen's address bar and drag that to your desktop. I have this in its own little folder, the link, the picture and I use the pictures as an icon on the folder. That way I can see what I'm looking for to use. When you make the sentence, you get:
Good luck!
all your suggestions and it still won't work, lol! Thanks for trying to help 
Just remember to add the "h" back
With "h" removed:

I know there's a smoother way of showing that, but I'm going to bed in 2 minutes and not going to look it up.
the truth has a chance to put its pants on. 
Anytime anything comes along that fits the right wing's narrative, consider it a lie and the source a fraud until proven beyond a shadow of a doubt otherwise. Then wait a year or more and look at it all over again before you even think about giving it any credence. They are shameless, compulsive and habitual liars.
He probably would rather shave the squirrel growing on his head.
a dwindling Demographic. It does not take a marketing guru to see demographics have changed, if big business wants to capture their market share they need to start catering to to the larger demographic. So companies who own the media like GE, can sell more blenders and Disney can sell more tickets to mouse land. SIMPLE ECONOMICS, who owns the media, how much more do they want to make their product more market friendly to the masses. The Masses dictate sales, end of economics 101 DU style.
