IMO - the report was tainted to spread taint over the few pieces of truth that were in the report. Who was in on it - Don’t know.

The MIS-information campaign is going into high gear. You can actually feel the heat.

Indeed. Yet, Truth will out. (Looks like things may get messier first, though.)

The media's down-playing or lack of coverage of today's biggest news story means to me...

We FReepers need to get our acts in gear and right now yesterday!

Yep. I’ve been collecting news stories going back to 2011 when our weapons from Libya started turning up across the Arab world.

I still don’t believe the report was inaccurate.
Logan deserves credit, having suffered at the hands of another Islamist group that this administration enabled.
CBS’s known ties to Obama, and the rapidity of its response suggests collusion with the regime; they threw her under the bus. Also, the New York Times, in its refutation, never named a single official as it source— only anonymous insiders and officials. By the way, where is the guy that she interviewed, and was he her only source?
