ABC Admits That They Never Read Benghazi Emails That They Smeared Obama With
After Jake Tapper exposed ABCs Benghazi email scoop as edited to make Obama look bad, ABC News admitted that they lied to America. They never actually read the original emails.
In their May 10th exclusive, ABC News claimed that they had obtained the Benghazi emails, ABC News has obtained 12 different versions of the talking points that show they were extensively edited as they evolved from the drafts first written entirely by the CIA to the final version distributed to Congress and to U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice before she appeared on five talk shows the Sunday after that attack.
Later in the same story, ABCs Jonathan Karl wrote, White House emails reviewed by ABC News suggest the edits were made with extensive input from the State Department.
After CNNs Jake Tapper exposed ABCs report was based on information that was edited in order to make the Obama administration look bad, ABC tried to explain away their lies by claiming that their inaccurate story, and the actual emails are the same thing, Assuming the email cited by Jake Tapper is accurate, it is consistent with the summary quoted by Jon Karl.

(31,849 posts)all of this is leading to a point where no one will believe anything reported by anyone (except, of course, those reporting what we already believe).
Can't trust the media ... Can't trust the government ... can't trust either party ... why, people will have to think for themselves!

(31,849 posts)I must be crazy too. But I've watched 4 1/2 years of this "gotcha ... No, gotcha this time ... No, I really gotcha this time" B.S., only to watch the "gotcha" fall apart. So until things change, I'ma dance with thems that I brought.

BTW NPR is in on it too ...... I heard them yesterday talking about Obama's major
problems w/the IRS and Benghazi.
"they" are selling lies as real news in order to hurt a President who won in a landslide.
