"Perhaps the people at Fox News as it veers further to port need to have their cognitive abilities tested, not Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, whom they increasingly shill for, judging by the performance of debate moderator and Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace. The conventional wisdom is that Wallace lost control of the debate but a closer look shows he knew exactly what he was doing, that he was on a mission to be 2020’s, Candy Crowley.
"During the 2012 presidential debate between Willard Mitt Romney and Barack Hussein Obama, CNN’s Candy Crowley corrected GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney at a key moment, falsely claiming President Obama called Benghazi a terrorist attack the very next day. CBS knew President Obama was lying and had a tape to prove it.
"As part of a “60 Minutes” interview taped on September 12, the day after the terrorist attack by the al-Qaida-linked group Ansar al-Sharia, and moments after the President and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had appeared in the Rose Garden, CBS correspondent Steve Kroft asked a very direct question: “Mr. President, this morning you went out of your way to avoid the use of the word terrorism in connection with the Libya attack, do you believe that this was a terrorism attack?”
"It was the perfect time for the President to say his oblique reference to “acts of terror” did in fact include Benghazi and insist Kroft’s question was based on a false premise. He did not because he could not. Instead, he said that “it’s too early to tell exactly how this came about, what group was involved,” as his administration was already pushing the lie that it was a spontaneous mob action caused by an obscure Internet video insulting to Islam.
"When Kroft responded that there were “reports that they were very heavily armed with grenades, that doesn’t sound like your normal demonstration,” President Obama meekly responded that “…we’re still investigating exactly what happened, I don’t want to jump the gun on this.' ” . . .
"This critical part of the interview proving that Obama did not label Benghazi a terrorist attack despite clear evidence it was was incredibly and, I believe, deliberately left on the cutting room floor because it likely would have doomed President Obama’s reelection chances on the spot. CBS stood silent during and after Crowley’s own journalist malfeasance and knew the truth when its own Bob Schieffer conducted the third and final presidential debate without mentioning it." . . .
