Obama winning Benghazi PR battle

[Tsing Tao]

Quote from CaptainObvious:

The political gain was in the telling of the lie about this incident while trying to connect it to the video in any way, shape, or form when they knew from the get go that it was a terrorist attack. The political gain was not wanting this to be a media topic a few weeks prior to an election.

With a complicit media, this was all too easy.

Intelligence Stressed Libya Protest Scenario

In Reports to Obama, CIA Didn't Alter Assessment of Trigger for Violence for 10 Days, Even as Witness Accounts Disputed It



WASHINGTON—President Barack Obama was told in his daily intelligence briefing for more than a week after the consulate siege in Benghazi that the assault grew out of a spontaneous protest, despite conflicting reports from witnesses and other sources that began to cast doubt on the accuracy of that assessment almost from the start.

New details about the contents of the President's Daily Brief, which haven't been reported previously, show that the Central Intelligence Agency didn't adjust the classified assessment until Sept. 22, fueling tensions between the administration and the agency.

True enough.

Odd how the Democrats blamed Bush for the incorrect intel on WMD's in Iraq, and NOT the intelligence agencies of several countries that came up with that information, but now at Benghazi, they want us to blame the intelligence agencies, and not the political hack Rice spewing her "talking points" handed out by Team Obama. Typical leftist hypocrisy.

But, CIA admitted that the talking points were theirs.

So are you saying the main stream media covered the issue fairly? I just want to be sure what you're saying before I shoot it down.

In collaboration with the administration, which is more alarming yet.
