No, Those Emails Weren't About

ABC's Jonathan Karl And The Proof The White House Memo Wasn't Just About Benghazi | Blog | Media Matters for America

Hmmm...another TemplarKormac LIE. WHAT AN IGNORANT TROLL

ABC's Jonathan Karl, who was previously burned when he pushed falsehoods about CIA talking points generated in the wake of the 2012 Benghazi attacks, is now adopting the conservative distortion of a separate set of talking points authored by the White House*for media appearances by then U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice.

On September 16, 2012, Rice appeared on the Sunday political talk shows and suggested that the Benghazi terror attacks had grown out of spontaneous protests like those that were occurring worldwide in response to an anti-Muslim video. Conservatives*have claimed that Rice's comments on the Sunday shows were part of a deliberate effort to deceive the American people about the cause of the terror attacks, to bolster President Obama's re-election campaign. This effort has often involved distorting the CIA-approved talking points that Rice used to prepare for the interviews.

Karl*came under fire*in May 2013 after reporting that the network had "reviewed" emails from administration officials regarding the creation and editing of those CIA-generated talking points. While nothing Karl reported undermined assertions from the CIA that the intelligence community had approved those talking points, Karl suggested that the emails bolstered the conservative critique of the administration's response.

In fact, Karl had never seen the emails in question -- his story was*based*on "summaries" of the emails and "detailed notes" from a source who, it turned out, had*misrepresented*what the documents actually said. After media observers*slammed*Karl's "sloppy" reporting, ABC News*issued a statement*saying that the network "should have been more precise in its sourcing of those quotes, attributing them to handwritten copies of the emails taken by a Congressional source. We regret that error." Karl himself*apologized*in a statement to CNN.

OH... Wait...
hmmm... 60 days before the re-election ... wouldn't be good over the next 60 days if voters saw this as a "broader failure"!

They knew it was not about a video. They saw the events as a failure of policy and tried to cover it up. That the left still defends this is amazing.
 
The source "Media Matters? The same tax exempt MM that monitors (only) conservative speech and the same MM that wrote the anti-Israel blog that caused a nut case former democrat politician to kill Jews? Who is surprised when MM spins a new Hussein defense? Krauthammer had it right, it's a coverup of a coverup and when you factor media matters it's a coverup of a coverup of a coverup.

Sorry Niles. Here's Karl admitting it himself. Seems like congressional republicans were behind it.

Jonathan Karl: I 'Regret' Inaccuracies In Benghazi Reporting

Gawd you'd make a shitty lawyer. :)
 
You almost had to sympathize with good old adulterer Bubba Bill Clinton when you heard Hillary screech "what difference does it make" in front of a congressional hearing. Barry Hussein must have known about the "smoking gun" and he did what he always does and skipped town for an Asian vacation.

when you have no core principles, it's easy to defend your leaders who are corrupt.

I love your link.

Later, he tweeted,
In case you missed it, I sincerely regret the error I made describing an email from Ben Rhodes. 1/2
— Jonathan Karl (@jonkarl) May 19, 2013
I should have stated, as I did elsewhere, the reporting was based on a summary provided by a source. I apologize for the mistake. 2/2
— Jonathan Karl (@jonkarl) May 19, 2013

In other words, all he did was attribute one quote improperly in one place in his report. That means he got everything else right, something else you link makes clear.
 
Media Matters? Seriously?

No. It was MM relaying what ABC did.

Howey -- You do understand that what an ABC reporter MIGHT HAVE seen back 9 months ago is NOW IRRELEVENT -- because EVERYONE has seen the content of the emails and can judge for themselves who lied about the lying..

Only people who need EXCUSES go back to a 9 month old speculative story when the DETAILS are in front of their dumb faces.
