Stephen F. Hayes-1st Journalist To Print Doctored E-Mail As Fact=Official Biographer For Dick Cheney

Big h/t to AnnetteK for some background info on Stephen Hayes, the first journalist to print the doctored email as fact:

Stephen F. Hayes (born 1974) is a columnist for The Weekly Standard, a prominent American conservative magazine. Hayes has been selected as the official biographer for Vice President Richard Cheney.[1]

Here is the Weekly Standard article he wrote containing the fake email as fact:

Mister Cheney, who just yesterday (or today?), coincidentally said Benghazi was the worst thing he had ever seen in government, maybe has some 'splainin' to do.

not only on staff at the Weekly Standard, but a #Fox News contributor, also too!

Before joining The Weekly Standard, Hayes was a senior writer for National Journal's Hotline.

His work has appeared in the New York Post, Washington Times, Salon.com, National Review, and Reason. He has been a commentator on CNN, The McLaughlin Group, Fox News Channel, MSNBC, CNBC, and C-SPAN.

Carney on Tuesday accused Republicans of editing the emails in order to to serve a political agenda.

"I think the entire e-mail, the report I read showed the entire e-mail, and what it showed is Republicans who were leaking these press, these e-mails that had been shared with Congress didn't just do that, they decided to fabricate portions of an e-mail and make up portions of an e-mail in order to fit a political narrative," he said at a White House press conference

should be featuring corrections today. They should be teasing the correction at each commercial break.

If any of them actually DO that, let me know.

lying about their lie. Karl had written that he reviewed the WH e-mails. Now Karl is saying that he never reviewed the e-mails and solely wrote on the notes that were taken from the e-mails by I guess a GOPer staffer. Issa needs to be investigated as well as Fake news and ABC.
