Hunh.
Zero isn’t doing Hus usual crotch salute in that pic.
I know he isn’t saluting the fallen.

Next surprise, 60 Minutes trying to do actual journalism?
Wonder how swift the punishment from Jarret and crew will be.

What’s been posted is amazing—that is, that it appeared on a network channel, rather than FOX. That’s the only method of presentation that could create echoes. Will it? We’ll see.

Got to hand it to the MSM - when there’s an Obama scandal that anybody with a set of functioning neurons can figure out in a couple of weeks, they can be relied on to kind of make sense out it . . . more than a year later.

And conveniently, well after an election that could have provided some accountability for the slimes in the regime responsible for the deaths of four Americans.

Nothing that anyone who was paying attention at the time didn't know even back then.

The Media did everything they could to protect dear leader from this scandal going into the election.

They are still protecting him the the scandal that's Obamacare, Fast and Furious, the powder keg he's ignited in the Middle East and a dozen other scandals and even from all the of Hilary's screw ups as well.

The Media in this country is nothing more then a propaganda arm of the progressive politicians in both the Democratic and Republican parties. They are corrupt and dishonest to the very core and have and will continue to represent the biggest threat to this nation.

Just because they touched on this one scandal a little on 60 minutes doesn't absolve them of all the other lies and misdeeds over the last 20 years. They are STILL heavily in the tank for politicians like Obama and 99% of the time everything they say and do is contrary to everything that's good for America.

Happy to see CBS admitting a cover-up on Benghazi and surprised they are but they’re pretty late in doing so.

At some point in the next 24 hours, some news outlet will quote some unnamed source at Defense or State who will say that Obama had not been made aware of the situation in Benghazi. In other words, the buck never got to him.

Well said. Sixty minutes.......too little, too late. They claim they have been investigating for a year......facts not confirmed have never prevented them from making assertions, innuendo and outright speculation about George Bush. Tools.

Just watched this on Sixty Minutes (I'm in the inter mountain time zone) ... absolutely devastating information that will go completely ignored by the liberal MSM.
60 Minutes certainly qualifies as liberal and they should be acknowledged for airing this Benghazi story. However, it will go no further ... no outrage at the lies the Obama administration put out while in full CYA mode.
Recall the bump in the road or phony scandal remark made by ‘O’ ... or the ‘what difference does it make’ by Hildabeast? Move on ... nothing to see here.

Can you find a video of the segment so we can make sure it gets distributed ?

CBS’s participation in this story seems directly proportional to Sec State Hillary’s distance in time from what actually happened.

“I can’t recall ...”

Is this why 60mins did it.. the election is three years in the future. The same 60min will dismiss this as "Old News" three years from now.

I recall the "old news" (Alinsky?) tactic and just got this from an Internet search

Gennifer Flowers was given her five minutes of fame, Clinton admitted to [it]... and thereafter any mention of Clinton's pathological sex life was "old news" and "partisan" . . . .

Don't forget 60MINS helped the Clintons with that one.

I've got to give a lot of credit to Sharyl Attkisson of CBS News. She has to have all but single-handedly shamed CBS News into finally doing this primetime report.

I wonder if the cover up...the brazen lies...were due to a fast approaching Presidential election? Is it cynical for me to suspect that that was the case?

Let me guess, now that Obamacare is implemented as a failure and having done the damage to private insurance, the One is going to be thrown under the bus because single payer is next?

"In other words, the buck never got to him."

The "buck" avoids Obama like the plague. This is either the most corrupt administration in the nations history (which is saying a lot if you remember back to the Nixon and Carter administrations), or the most incompetent.

Neither is a good thing and if it wasn't for the Media covering for this guy at every turn, he would have never been allowed to get as far as he has.

One has ask, why is the Media in America so intent on destroying the very nation that they were giving constitutional privileges from to protect? I just don't see what they have to gain from blindly supporting every progressive politician in the country? They will manipulate the news, twist the truth and flat out lie for almost ANY Progressive in America.
