’60 Minutes’ Offers 2nd Apology For Benghazi
NEW YORK (AP) — CBS’s “60 Minutes” apologized on Sunday’s broadcast for a flawed story on the 2012 attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya, and for the discredited source who claimed to have been at the scene.
During brief remarks at the end of the hour correspondent Lara Logan said “60 Minutes” was misled and made a mistake in its reporting.
Logan is the correspondent responsible for the Oct. 27 story. She had interviewed former security contractor Dylan Davies, who claimed he took part in fighting at the mission. But Davies’ account unraveled last week, forcing CBS News on Friday to admit its error in running the story.

Why wasn’t the apology at the beginning of the program with a thorough examination and explanation? Burying at the end with a very brief mea culpa was cowardly and amateurish.

No, it wasn’t. It is how it should be done. Some people just have to hate anything CBS. Back to Fox News for you.

No – it’s not at all how it should have been done. I’ve been a big fan of 60 Minutes for 30 years – and never, ever watch Fox “News”.

Wow, aren’t you special! If you truly have been a big fan of 60 Minutes for 30 years you would know exactly where they run all follow ups! Those who can, do. Those who can’t, well, we see your handle.

CBS News should be apologizing for the complete lack of coverage of this event from day 1. This is clearly one of the biggest cover-ups in history and our main stream media, including CBS have been sitting on the sideline. They gave up time to allow for a fabricated story talking about some goofy video causing the event, but did not work in “shining the light” on this. A big shame on you to CBS. Let’s get the truth out!
