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.

  1. One can choose to be a liar or not. Candy Crowley chose to lie. It's between her and God.

    1. It may be between her and God but it also between her and the public as well as her newspaper. She cannot be trusted for anything she reports as a result of that incident. I am surprised she was dismissed by the people that employ her.They too apparently cannot be trusted to to truth, honesty and integrity. I refuse to watch her on TV.

    2. Agreed. She will ultimately pay for her choice to lie, but in the meantime, the entire nation is paying for her choice. The trust that was once put in the media has long since been displaced by cynicism, distrust, and contempt by the people who choose to research for the truth.

  2. Because we have been lied to so many times about just about everything involving the government, I do not trust the president or any member of this administration in what they do or say. It seems that anything the government is involved in turns out to be a total mess.

  4. The lie about the video causing the attack is important, but the very most important thing the Benghazi Committee should be trying to learn is - who gave the order to "stand down"? Being a former U.S. Marine, you know that you ALWAYS do all possible to save your countrymen. You don't "stand down". That person needs to be sent to prison.

    1. Every time I hear Hillary's question "what does it matter how they died?" I think of my husband (who is thankfully alive) and how I would feel if someone ever said that to me, if God forbid he was killed. DISGUSTING!

      Guess I will spend all of 2016 wearing a T-Shirt with "Benghazi" to remind people who was in charge of DOS that day.

  5. America will not move in the right direction until the media outlets are held accountable for their disingenuous and shameless lying and misinforming their viewers [well maybe their viewers want to be duped]. REGULUS 30

    1. Agree 100%. The ONLY thing that speaks them is money, so we need to organize a boycott of the major networks...

  6. The Obama administration has been regularly lying to a largely uninformed and gullible American public from the beginning. A fawning uncritical media has enabled him and his merry band of thugs to get away with it.
    And the heavy handed intimidation that this White House specializes in is just another example of how rotten to the core this whole Administration is.

  7. The article was one humongous pile of elephant crap.

  8. I have always wondered why during the deabte Obama asked Crowley to "quote the text." How did he know she had the "text" of his White House statement? What was worse was that she quoted it wrong. Obama had called it an "act of terror." That could be said of a street mugging, very different than a terrorist's act. Anyway we all know they lied and that that's second nature for Leftists.
