Bombshell: Candy Crowley Not The Only Reporter Pressed To Lie About Benghazi
Everyone remembers that during the second Presidential Debate Candy Crowley
covered for Barack Obama by telling Mitt Romney that Obama called Benghazi a
"terrorist attack." Most people now know that it was a lie, but this former CBS
reporter is implying that the Obama White House shopped the lie to the media
aggressively for some time prior to the debate and possible even used
intimidation tactics to convince reporters to repeat the lie.
(American
Thinker) A few days before the debate, a White House official called Attkisson,
chatted amiably for a few minutes, and then segued abruptly to the point of his
call, “He did call it a terrorist attack. In the Rose Garden. On September
twelfth.” Attkisson did not understand the purpose of this call until she saw
the debate and assumed Crowley got a similarly forceful call as well.
It was a week after the Benghazi attack that Obama took his first unedited question on the motivation of the attackers. The questioner was, of all people, David Letterman. “Here’s what happened,” said Obama. “You had a video that was released by somebody who lives here, sort of a shadowy character who -- who made an extremely offensive video directed at -- at Mohammed and Islam.”
The first edited question was asked six days earlier. CBS’s Steve Kroft interviewed Obama following his Rose Garden speech. “Mr. President,” said Kroft in his very first question, “this morning you went out of your way to avoid the use of terrorism in connection with the Libya attack.” Obama answered, “Right.”
Later, Kroft asked the president point blank, “Do you believe this was a terrorist attack?” Obama answered, “It’s too early to know exactly how this came about.” Not having aired the Kroft interview in its entirety, CBS selectively mixed bits of it with an out of context excerpt from Obama’s Rose Garden speech to rewrite history following the second debate.
