To Bob Schieffer's credit, he actually followed up and allowed McCain to elaborate on this.

Outside of Fox News, this is the only Sunday morning show coverage this topic got today.

When the poker game was lost...they still didn’t have any competence to even do a decent four-star cover-up. They even screwed up the cover-up.

Seems like just a little bit of survival instinct is showing up in the MSM these days.

Still, most of them would be smiling joyfully if Obama was holding a pistol to the back of their head.

"Obama took time out of his busy day to blow my brains out!"

I watched the video and just when McCain started speaking about Ambassador Stevens, the screen went blank???????
Anyone else?

Got to be a cover up. No one is that incompetent. So, someone out there in msm-land has got to want to make their career... This is Woodward class, deep throat, bring down a government type stuff. Bring it, accept the challenge!

McCain knows it is a cover-up. He has to have that “fig leaf” though.

Worth seeing.

yep, my thought when reading this was that Schieffer and other so-called journalists are now getting afraid there could really be something to this, and how THEY don’t want to be singled-out as one of the clueless dopes in Bob Woodwards next blockbuster book about it....

I think the whole administration is going to unravel over this...

Thanks, I’m so damned distrustful lately that I’m being over accusatory. It did stop in the middle but when I replayed it, it played through to the end. Good for McCain to bring it up.

CBS is too late to get their ‘Bob Woodward” moment. FOX beat them to it.

I think you're right. I think this "has legs" and is not going to go away. I think it was a bungled plan, a bungled cover-up, and a fundamentally corrupt administration. I think there is more than enough {expletive} there to not only bring down hussein and trash his re-election hopes, but also send some people to prison. And they should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. People died.

I wouldnt count on it, Fox Cable will continue preaching it to the choir for about a week, congress will continue to snore while the MSM continues to report the latest car chase or possible Hurricane of the Century

McCain actually implied this was worse than Watergate because “nobody died in Watergate.” Surprising to hear him make that point.

Well, yeah. He should’ve brought it up in the debates.

I hope he recognizes his own irrelevance in the Conservatives yelling that Romney should’ve brought it up.

No, Shieffer should have. During the debate, and, certainly on Sept 12th if not the 11th.

If, or when, the msm covers this, the bottom will drop out of zero’s campaign. I could even see California going Romney if that happened.

This is nothing less than Divine intervention. Maybe God has found enough good in the US to save us. The timing of this, right behind the debates. The msm may begin to scramble for the fire exit by belatedly reporting this to save their butts. They’re all toast.

Sheryl Attkinson is CBS and she started it all. Attkinson managed to get stuff on CBS about F&F and now Benghazi when I am sure the higher ups didn’t want to. Lara Logan is also CBS and she’s on record accusing the admin of malfeasance in North Africa. Of course FOX has Jennifer Griffin, Catherine Herridge, and K T McFarland. But where are their male counterparts. What we have here seems to be a news media version of The Guns of Fort Petticoat.

I thought McCain was campaigning for Obama this year, like he did back in 2008. What happened?
