It's Still See-B.S.

Both Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert had lead-off segments last night on the "60 Minutes" story fraud on Benghazi  Benghazi! BENGHAZI!!, and the network's attempt to both gloss over its vetting process (not to mention the linkage to its right-wing publishing house, Threshold Editions, which was publishing the story fraud), and the false impression that they -- CBS -- had caught the fraud, when it was real journalists at the New York Times, Washington Post Bezos Bugle, and the Media Matters website.  Here's Colbert's version in two parts, ably aided by Sam Waterston (please excuse the commercial interruptions).

Must See TV

Be sure to tune in to CBS' "60 Minutes" tonight to catch their latest "apology" and retraction of the false story that they peddled on October 27 regarding the Benghazi attack.  As details of their journalistic malpractice emerge, it's clear that an impetus for the story was promoting the book that CBS-owned Threshold Editions (which publishes the likes of Glenn Beck) was publishing by the liar who appeared on the Benghazi segment and spread the false narrative (the books are now being recalled by the publisher).  Product cross-promotion is all too common among the media conglomerates that have integrated publishing, film, broadcasting and cable.  In this instance, the promotion (assisted by a reporter who has lost her objectivity) proved to be a sewer pipe for yet another Benghazi! BENGHAZI!! fable.

Break out the popcorn.
