How The Media Was Played On BENGHAZI! (And Why That Won't Change Anything)

Rachel Maddow dissects the fake emails press scandal associated with BENGHAZI!, with particular shame descending on Fox News Lite ABC News (h/t Crooks and Liars) :



Today's journalists  complicit Beltway media stenographers need to do some serious reflection on how they're being played by Rethuglican operatives and the right-wing noise machine... haha riiiight!

UPDATE:  ABC News' Jonathan Karl says "so sorry" for his false report (but says the story "entirely stands" -- see "haha riiight", above). Thanks a bunch.

UPDATE II:  Should have guessed why Karl is sticking with his "story:"  he's a product of a right-wing "journalism" organization.  So, he's part of the right-wing noise machine, just embedded at ABC News.

Report: Rethugs Altered Benghazi E-Mails

Maybe now there'll be a real scandal associated with Benghazi! BENGHAZI!!, namely that Rethugs on Capitol Hill apparently altered language in e-mails last Friday related to the Benghazi matter before feeding them to an unskeptical media itching for ammunition against the Obama Administration.  When the White  House released 100 of the actual e-mails on Wednesday, the two versions didn't match.  To its credit, CBS News spotted the fabrication by the Rethugs, but this simply adds to the fact that this has been a politically-inspired hatchet job by Rethuglicans from the start.
