Fox's New Benghazi Claim Contradicted By Bipartisan Report Fox Cites

[Mytzlplk]

What is it with the clowns on Faux Views? Is it that they are that reading comp challenged, or are they simply compulsive liars?

Fox News continued to push the false narrative that the Obama administration politicized early intelligence assessments about the Benghazi attack by purporting to provide "new data points" which are contradicted by the findings of a bipartisan Senate Select Committee on Intelligence report released in January.

On February 13, Shannon Bream introduced a report from Fox national security correspondent Catherine Herridge by saying, "Tonight, two new data points in the Benghazi timeline [are] raising new questions about whether early intelligence was indeed politicized." Herridge began her report by claiming CIA leadership had been informed twice that the anti-Islam video "played no role" in the Benghazi attack, before former UN Ambassador Susan Rice appeared on the Sunday news shows and provided information about the attack based on talking points that represented the best assessment of the intelligence community at the time.

Thanks for that Fairsheet.....so the last paragraph of your link ....

The Benghazi report cited by Herridge also found that "there were no efforts by the White House or any other Executive Branch entities to "cover-up" facts or make alterations for political purposes" -- a fact that she chose to left out.

jives with this...

Deputy CIA Director Michael Morell, who took the blame for editing the Obama administration’s Benghazi talking points, announced his retirement Wednesday.

The White House later released e-mail traffic showing the inter-agency editing of the talking points that showed it was Morell — responding to concerns from the State Department — who eliminated references to al-Qaeda from the talking points.

So it wasn't Barry's White House that covered up the facts, but rather according to Barry's White House it was this Morell dude responding to concerns from [Hillary's] State Department.

Internecine warfare that raises the questions of who is actually in charge and was Obama golfing or just out of the loop as he so frequently claims he was?

(By the way Sheet, you can respond to me directly rather than through a third party. I'll try to go easy on you...but not tonight, save it for Monday. TGIF and all that. )

Since it wasn't an attack by Al Qaeda....removing Al Qaeda from the talking points was a good idea. Why give them credit for anything?

In Winger-World, truth no longer exists, even as a concept.

The only thing that matters to the Republican base rabble is beliefs. Facts are irrelevant.
