The CBS Evening News on Wednesday ignored one of the day’s top news stories: the revelation that White House aide Ben Rhodes — brother of CBS president David Rhodes — instructed Susan Rice to emphasize a false talking point about the 2012 terror attacks in Benghazi, Libya.
In a White House email chain recently obtained through a lawsuit by Judicial Watch, Ben Rhodes urged Rice “[t]o underscore that these protests are rooted in an Internet video, and not a broader failure or policy” ahead of her infamous appearance on several Sunday shows.
The decision by CBS to ignore the story made the network unique among the nightly news broadcasts.
ABC World News ran a lengthy segment on the revelations, saying the White House was “feeling the heat” and that the “email seems to call into question what the White House said about its role” in deceiving the public about the cause of the Benghazi attacks.
ABC’s Jonathan Karl was especially aggressive in his questioning of the White House Wednesday afternoon, grilling press secretary Jay Carney about the administration’s failure to be forthcoming.

CBS: Why the new Benghazi emails aren’t a smoking gun
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/why-the-new-benghazi-emails-arent-a-smoking-gun/
pretzel time for two more and a whole news organization ... MediaGate.
Someone should ping that person who always puts that girl saluting, saying ‘It’s not a scandal if we don’t report it!”
Very appropriate here methinks.
And the fit may be just about ready to hit the shan.
Simply ducking shall not be enough.
Sharyl Attkisson said (on Dennis Miller show yesterday) that she thinks the relationship was a factor in CBS covering up Benghazi.
Just like Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and Debbie Wassermann said, the 2014 election should be all about the brothers....the Rhodes brothers.
And I believe Sharyl…….
How would anybody know this? Does seeBS broadcast anywhere other than in the forest where nobody would hear it?
CBS should immediately lose their broadcast license and the CBS president should be fired. They are very obviously coordinating with the White House.
Absolutely.
The Rhodes boyz are finished. It’s just a matter of time.
If Boehner doesn’t start major hearings on Benghazi, he needs to step aside and let someone else do it. It’s time for him to **** or get off the pot.
CBS is going to be toast once the CBS Rhodes is forced in front of a congressional hearing. That’s probably why they want this to go away. You would think CBS investors would be concerned about this major conflict of interest.
CGato
What?...CBS news ignored a story that reveals Obama’s hack administration is a pack of liars???...Knock me over with a feather!
THE MSM IS A BIGGER PAWN OF OBAMA AND THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY THAN PRAVDA WAS IN TIMES OF THE SOVIET UNION.
Retired Military Official: We Knew Benghazi Attacks Attributable to Terrorist Group, Not Video
Michael Warren
May 1, 2014
A retired military officer serving in the U.S.’s Africa Command headquarters in Germany told the House oversight committee Thursday that it was his belief at the time that the September 11, 2012, attack on the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya was attributable to an Islamic extremist group and not an internet video.
Robert Lovell was an brigadier general with the Air Force, stationed in Germany, when four Americans were killed in Benghazi. In his congressional testimony, Lovell said that his role was to focus on “attribution” of the attack.
“What do you believe they were attributable to?” asked Utah Republican congressman Jason Chaffetz.
“That they were attributable to an Islamist extremist group,” Lovell responded.
“Al Qaeda?” Chaffetz asked.
“We felt it was Ansar al Sharia,” said Lovell.
“Which is affiliated with al Qaeda?” Chaffetz asked.
“Yes,” said Lovell.
Watch the exchange below:

Lovell also said that the attack was not attributable to a video or protests arising from such a video.
but his pungeant aroma lingers like a stale water buffalo fart in a small closet.
Surprise, surprise, surprise, The media ignores one of the most import story of our time. Amazing!
I always wonder about the parents in situations like this. What did they do to their sons to make them turn out so amoral? Same with Hillary’s parents, she and her brothers are sure a mess ethically/morally, etc. Was it something about their upbringing or their parents or their genes??
