CBS News investigative reporter Sharyl Attkisson apparently decided she had had ENOUGH with being a mouthpiece for Democrats. She’s been reporting on Benghazi like she actually gives a toot about four dead Americans and a White House cover-up.
CBS: State Dept Officials Set To Contradict Obama Admin’s Account of Benghazi
Now, the word is that unnamed CBS News “executives” are Not Happy with her and that she is likely “leaving ahead of contract” (read: getting the boot) for what said unnamed execs call “wading dangerously close to advocacy” in her reporting on Benghazi.
- Advocacy on behalf of Democrats is clearly not a problem at CBS, as anyone who saw Katie Couric’s hatchet job of Sarah Palin can attest.
- Nor was it any problem for the network to wander “dangerously close to advocacy” when they granted Barack and Hillary their kissy-kissy interview on “60 Minutes.”
Nope. The only kind of advocacy that’s Not Allowed at CBS News is the kind that interferes with Democrat Talking Points.
Q. Who drafted said talking points?
A. President Obama’s Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes.
Q. So what?
A. Ben Rhodes is brother to David Rhodes, who just happens to be the president of CBS News.

If Benghazi had occurred under a Republican president, the Left-Stream Media would have made Pat Smith a household name, a la Cindy Sheehan, with “absolute moral authority” to condemn the president for killing her son.
“I want to wish Hillary a Happy Mother’s Day. She has her child. I don’t have mine because of her.”

Mark Steyn’s article is devastating – and he doesn’t even mention the Rhodes brothers, who add a whole other dimension of nefarious slime to the mess.

I like how he cut to the meat and kept it simple enough for someone coming late to the Ah Ha can catch up.
