Monday night, yesterday, Pelley reported -- without a word of explanation -- that the attack on Ambassador Stevens on 9/11 was a preplanned terrorist attack. Not a solitary word was offered to announce or explain that Odumbo and company were backpedaling from their original story line. Orwell would have been fearfully impressed to see his "Ministry of Truth" functioning so well.
BTW, Hillary, et al, would be right at home here in the Sandbox!!!
CNN Pushes Back In Fight With State Department; Clinton Spokesman Tells Reporter To 'F--k- Off'
CNN is getting some defenders in its battle with the State Department over its handling of the journal of the murdered ambassador to Libya, and the State Department is clearly getting agitated about increasing questions surrounding its handling of the situation, as a top spokesman for Hillary Clinton told a reporter to "f--k off." . . . .
. . . BuzzFeed's Michael Hastings did some further reporting on the back-and-forth. He wrote on Sunday that the State Department had not even known about the existence of the journal until CNN's Arwa Damon found it, and speculated that Hillary Clinton and her team were trying to counteract a story that made them look bad: namely, that there was such an ample feeling of threat in the air before the attacks that Stevens wrote about it in his journal. . . .
Hastings' reporting drew a scorching response from State Department spokesman Philippe Reines. BuzzFeed posted emails between the two which showed Reines getting angrier and angrier about Hastings' aggressive questioning. After Hastings asked him, "Why don't you give answers that aren't bullshit for a change?" Reines responded:
I now understand why the official investigation by the Department of the Defense as reported by The Army Times The Washington Post concluded beyond a doubt that you're an unmitigated asshole. How's that for a non-bullshit response? Now that we've gotten that out of our systems, have a good day. And by good day, I mean Fuck Offhttp://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/24/cnn-state-department-libya_n_1909063.html
