and down the rabbit hole they go. Staggering incompetence, negligence, and corruption at the rotten core of CBS. A disastrous endeavor which they believe they can just ignore... ============= And yet its silence from CBS, which is now stonewalling press inquiries, as well as the calls for an outside review of its Benghazi reporting. CBS refusal to undergo a public examination in the wake of such a landmark blunder stands in stark contrast to how news organizations have previously dealt with black eyes; news organizations that once included CBS News. CBS is now taking a radically different approach. There appears to have been a corporate decision made that granting members of an independent review panel unfettered access to 60 Minutes represents a greater danger than the deep damage currently being done to the networks brand via the two-week-old scandal. So again and again the question bounces back to this: What is CBS hiding? And who is CBS protecting? Im sure network executives there are embarrassed by the controversy and wish the report hadnt aired as it did. Theres a reason Jeff Fager, Chairman of CBS News (above left), ranked it as among the worst mistakes in the nearly 50 year history of 60 Minutes. But as we learn more and more about the errors and oversights, its becoming increasingly difficult to understand the magnitude of the malfeasance; the refusal by CBS to follow even rudimentary rules of journalism.
