CBS uncovers the truth and emails behind Benghazi-gate
by Joseph Earnest October 24, 2012
Newscast Media WASHINGTON, D.C.—CBS News has stunned the mainstream media by releasing emails showing the Obama administration was aware that the Benghazi attacks were conducted by terrorists. In the emails, there is no mention of a Mohammed video or demonstrations getting out of hand. This revelation is very unusual considering how the mainstream media is extremely protective of Barack Obama.
In an article we published last week, CBS journalist Lara Logan criticized the Obama administration for its misleading statements about the terrorist attack on the U.S. Embassy in Benghazi, Libya, that led to the deaths of Chris Stevens and three other Americans. She also criticized the media who cover terrorism for not paying attention to what terrorists are saying about America.
"Our way of life is under attack. And if you think that is government propaganda, if you think that's nonsense, if you think that's war-mongering, you're not listening to what the people who are fighting you say about this fight," Logan said emphatically.
"In your arrogance, you think you write the script, but you don't. There's two sides and we don't dictate the terms," she added. (pop-up)
CBS has obtained emails in which the State Department, in one if its emails, has the subject line: "Ansar al-Sharia Claims Responsibility for Benghazi Attack"
The body of the email reads: "Embassy Tripoli reports the group claimed responsibility on Facebook and Twitter and has called for an attack on Embassy Tripoli."
The State Department sent these emails out on September 11, the same day the attacks happened.

The Obama administration initially claimed the attacks were triggered by a YouTube video, while Mitt Romney called them terrorist attacks. After pressure from the media and the public, the administration upgraded them to terror attacks. Whether or not this will have an impact on the election remains to be seen. Add Comments>>
