How does a major news network confuse actual transcripts with summaries written by congressional staffers, thank go those staffers are not UN Translators.

ABC News' Jonathan Karl's revelation of the White House's role in 12 revisions to the Benghazi talking points propelled the story, long percolating in conservative media, into a bona fide scandal. But then CNN's Jake Tapper's revelation of what the emails actually said revealed that to be a fake scandal. So who lied to Karl? While Karl's report implied that he was quoting actual emails between the State Department, the CIA, and the White House, they were actually summaries written by congressional staffers who were allowed to read and take notes on the emails earlier this year. Their notes were not transcripts. The summaries quoted deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes saying "the talking points reflect all agency equities, including those of the State Department," when he actually wrote, "We need to resolve this in a way that respects all of the relevant equities, particularly the investigation."

Who lied about it? Some wise Democrat that knew the GOP would cry wolf once again, that's who.

Smelled a scoop, didn't bother to get the facts...

People think the media has an Obama bias. It actually has a RATINGS bias. Look how fast they turned on the admin this week, when it looked like there was blood in the water. It's all about the advertising dollars, people

Now watch all the red faces when they realize they got punked by GOP agents provocatures.

I would love to hear the source of this misinformation since the cats out of the bag, no need to defend the source especially since they lied. Rather interesting poetic license in their translation.

There should be a hearing on those GOP staffers!

Silly, stupid liberals. Still claiming there is nothing to Benghazi, just as there is nothing to AP wire tapping and the IRS scandal.

Get back to me when we know the truth on Benghazi and have all emails/documents. Get back to me when we know the entire scope of the IRS scandal. Ohhhh, thats right. You and liberal rags like the Atlantic dont give a damn about that. Carry on with your nonsense then

Get back to us when you have anything new, some things still need to proceed but basically it's over.

WATCH: CBS' Major Garrett calls out GOP over doctored Benghazi emails - The Week

And it's not the first time Republican's have tried to lie and get away with it on "testimony". See...Dan Burton.

I think you are exactly right. RWNJ's forget that they live in glass houses.
