Lara Logan Apologizes for ’60 Minutes’ Benghazi Report: ‘We Were Wrong’
The Blaze ^ | Nov. 8, 2013 | Madeleine Morgenstern

Posted on 11/08/2013 6:16:25 AM PST by Hotlanta Mike

“60 Minutes” correspondent Lara Logan apologized Friday for what CBS News is now acknowledging was a flawed report last month about the Benghazi attacks.

“The most important thing to every person at ’60 Minutes’ is the truth, and today the truth is that we made a mistake, and that’s very disappointing for any journalist, it’s very disappointing for me,” Logan said on “CBS This Morning. “Nobody likes to admit that they made a mistake, but if you do, you have to stand up and take responsibility and you have to say you were wrong, and in this case we were wrong.”

All of a sudden DIMs/LIBs are coming our of the woodwork “apologizing”. Even their “apologies” are lies. If Clown Prince nobama resigned...if cBS closed its “news” division for a year or two...then, I might take their apology. Liars all. Liars lie...that’s what they do. Believing them at any level is like believing a scorpion won’t bite you.

I posted a thread with this article awhile back:

“Benghazi Whistleblower Says He Was Smeared”

Controversy over Jones’s interview and book reached a high pitch on Oct. 31 when The Washington Post published details of an incident report allegedly written by Jones that contradicts the account in his book and reveals his real name, Dylan Davies.
In an interview Saturday with The Daily Beast, Davies said he did not write the incident report, nor had he ever seen it.

“I am just a little man against some big people here,” Davies said. “They can do things, make up things, anything they want, I wouldn’t stand a chance.” Davies said he did not know who leaked the report to the Post but said he suspected it was the State Department, an allegation that could not be independently corroborated. “It would not be difficult to do,” Davies said. “I knew I was going to come in for a lot of flack and you know mud slinging, so yeah I’d say it was them, but I can’t be sure.”
In his interview with The Daily Beast, Davies said the version of the events contained in the incident report matched what he told his supervisor, called “Robert” in his book, who is a top Blue Mountain Group executive. Davies said he lied to Robert about his actions that night because he did not want his supervisor to know he had disobeyed his orders to stay at his villa. “He told me under no circumstances was I to go up there. I respected him so much I did not want him to know that I had not listened to him,” said Davies, referring to Robert. “I have not seen him since.”

The guy who have them the report supposedly lied about actually having been there - he said in an earlier report to the FBI that he hadn’t been present.

Wait. Was it "Fake but true"?

That meets the NBC standard, right?

Would not rule out a setup to warn CBS and the rest of the media to layoff Benghazi.

Clintoons really need Ben Gazi to die quickly.

I don’t care what they’re apologizing for. It’s unacceptable.

True that. They’re trying to Arkancide Ben Ghazi.

Good question!

After reading the thread article, it looks like Holder’s FBI fed the Left-Stream Washington Post just enough information to convince Logan that the Holder’s FBI interpretation of events were more valid than their source.

Thus came a typical suit-requested ‘we-are-so-sorry-for-trying-to-find-out-the-truth-and-promise-to-never-do-it-again,’ “twisting in in the wind,” apology from Logan.

Since Holder’s FBI took 3 weeks to get to Benghazi to “investigate,” why should ANYTHING Holder’s FBI says be held up as “valid?”

Is Holder using his FBI to fend off, and shut down any Media investigations from finding out what really happened before during and after the joint Obama/Clinton designed Benghazi Massacre?

What are the High Crimes, and Derelictions of Duty that the Obama Administration has been trying to cover up for the last 14 months?

Which Media outlet will be the first to break the Benghazi Massacre Cover Up Story?

What effect will the public revealing of truth of the Benghazi Massacre Cover Up have on the election campaigns of Democrats in the 2014 and 2016 Federal elections?

Will the Left-Stream Media dare to award a Pulitzer Prize to the Media outlet journalist who breaks the story first?

The TRUTH eventually always comes out, the only question is “Who will uncover THE TRUTH first?”

Lara, don’t cave to Obama’s threats!

Take on Hillary’s rant:
“What Difference, at this point, does it make?”

Madame Secretary, the “difference” is THE TRUTH!
And, the American People deserve to know THE TRUTH, about;
1. Why the Ambassador and 3 other Americans died that night?
2. What the Ambassador was doing in Benghazi that night?
3. Why was there no effort to improve the Security in Benghazi, after repeated requests by the Ambassador?
4. Why there was no effort to defend, protect, or rescue the Ambassador that night?
5. Why were the teams who had prepared to deploy, to attempt a rescue, PROHIBITED from proceeding?
6. WHO Prohibited those teams from proceeding?
7. Who authorized the lie about the attack being a protest against a video?
8. Why did Susan Rice, President Obama, and YOU, Madame Secretary, continue to repeat that lie, for more than a week after you KNEW that was a LIE?

If they can rewrite Obama’s origins, fabricate his birth life story, forge his birth documents and Selective Service application, surely they can fabricate a FBI report.

She can’t order CBS not to edit news to help Obama.

Well, which is it? Do we know? The FBI carries no weight with me?
