First a quick summary of what has transpired this week on
Benghazi. Just released e-mails
are pretty much a smoking gun that the White House was behind the false talking points narrative that Benghazi
was about a sorry youtube video, not a failure to protect against organized (and predictable) terrorist
attack. The White House had long
denied being behind the talking points.
The most incriminating e-mail was written by Ben Rhodes, President
Obama’s Deputy National Security Advisor for Strategic Lying
Communication. Yes, that’s in the
White House. Ben Rhodes - remember
that name.
Then yesterday, Obama’s Press Secretary Jay Carney dug in deeper by
lying about the e-mails, saying they really were not about Benghazi (SNORT!). That was too much even for some of the
snooze media. There were sharp and
skeptical questions for a change.
Yet CBS ignored Benghazi on last night’s Evening News. Hmmm.
A careful reading of Ace’s post yesterday evening might explain
why. It takes an excellent article
by ex-CBS reporter Sharyl Attkisson and runs with it. I will not duplicate their excellent work. But I will mention that one Mike Morell, then Deputy Director
of the C.I.A., was also knee deep in editing the false talking points.
Now who just happens to be Ben Rhodes’ brother? David Rhodes, President of CBS News. And where does Mike Morell just
happen to be now? Attkisson
reveals:
Morell has
since gone to work as counsel for Beacon Global Strategies, a strategic
relations PR firm dominated by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
officials and Obama administration officials. (Disclosure: In January, Morell
was hired as an analyst for CBS News where I was previously employed.)
And the CBS Evening News ignored Benghazi last night.
When news media is that in bed with a regime, you do not get news
sources worthy of trust. You get
participants in government cover-ups. You get Pravda . . . and CBS News.

UPDATE:
Sharyl Attkisson today revealed that she suggested CBS News disclose that
CBS President David Rhodes is the brother of Ben Rhodes during Benghazi
stories. The answer to her
suggestion was no; that said information was unnecessary and irrelevant.
Yeah, I’m sure that relation has nothing to do with CBS’s
participation in the Benghazi cover-up.
