CBS Stop sucking up to this criminal-in-chief! Pretend he's Richard Nixon or George Bush. I know that goes against CBS's religion but do it anyway! Prove you still have a 1/2 ounce of journalistic integrity. He keeps giving the media the run around. It's being investigated, baloney! Do you really believe that? You are investigative reporters, investigate! Find out WHEN i.e. what day HIS investigation began AND who is investigating it? The whole world knows it's someone in the WH with Muslim Brotherhood ties. Why aren't you people on top of this? I'll tell you why, because it's 8 days from the election. BUT it happened on 9/11/2012 2 months before the dang election! The media is truly a disappointment at best and a disgrace at the very least. We're not as stupid as you think. America has gotten to the bottom of this, thanks to Judge Pirro and Glenn Beck. Why don't the rest of you step up to the plate and gather the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth? Benghazi makes Watergate look like a High School prank and the blue dress like nonsense. This is blood on the hands of...

How can Obama supporters be deaf and blind to his incompetence and lies? This is happening over and over and over. Cover ups, security leaks with no one held accountable, and now this utter failure to protect our ambassador and his team. UNACCEPTABLE!

Where are all the Oliar supporters now?! Where are you?! Why don't you come out with your sheepish grins and support YOUR "President" now? Come on where the heck are you? I want to hear your side, I want you to defend this man now!

This is a complete disgrace and he out and out lied to you and CBS you helped cover this up by omitting this part of the interview! Who do you think you are you sick pigs? How can you possibly facilitate this as Americans?!

Notice not one comment in support of Oliar, NOT ONE! Run an hide, bury your heads cause Romney is going to take this election hands down and rightfully so. Oliar should step down or be impeached for his role in this deception and Hillary should go with him. CBS should mind their P's and Q's from now on and make sure they tell the American people the TRUTH, we are not stupid and eventually we will always find out, ALWAYS!

I'm calling for you to step down Oliar you are the worst "President" we have EVER had!

So are you trying to make this look like a conspiracy between 60 Minutes and the POTUS? By which I mean that if Gov Romney had pressed the issue of the administration not calling it a terrorist attack with Pres Obama in the 3rd debate that you would have then released this outtake of the interview with some fanfare showing the POTUS saying he was suspicious that it was more than a mob action, all in an attempt to make Romney look ill-informed and like he was using 9/11 2012 for political purposes. Romney is holding the administration to account for it's actions which is his responsibility and the reason that the press was given freedom by our founding fathers.
Lost in the media stories then would be that only 60 Minutes, Pres Obama and his campaign staff knew of this statement made before Ambassador Rice went on the Sunday AM press show circuit pushing the administration approved "mob action" story line, denying it was a terror attack. If that mob action story had been bought by the public then this outtake would never have been released by CBS.

CBS is just as lousy at reporting "REAL NEWS" and honest news as NBC, ABC, CNN, MSNBC....all lie and cover up for this pitiful excuse of a Commander in Chief. Hilliary and Obama have blood on their hands when they could have had Marines within 1 hour to help rescue the Americans, but they did nothing and it was 6 hours of torture, rape, and brutality before they all died. This is what people want for 4 more years? But, turn off these TV networks that give you nothing but lies. Remember, they had this information on 9/12. They never reported it until October 25. Real honest news reporting, huh. Those days are gone forever.

CBS is disgusting, just like MSNBC, CNN, NBC, ABC....all covering the backside of this pitiful excuse of a Commander in Chief Obama. He has blood on his hands for these 4 sacrificed Americans by the State Dept., and the President. You are a pitiful excuse for a news media. You are in the tank for this worthless excuse of a president.

Typical MSM/Obama propaganda machine behavior. I don't believe anything coming from this "1984" Ministry of Truth propaganda.

You KNEW early on that the president contradicted himself on the Benghazi attack, and yet you did not follow up. You are a dispicable network, biased and in the bag for Obama. Shame on you shills!

So disappointed in CBS OMITTING this crucial info that ENABLED the White House to DISINFORM the American people. I know you guys are still following this 'Watergate' type of story, but it sooo needs to be FULLY presented with "60 Minutes" doing a cover-up segment - or at the very least, a follow-up piece INCLUDING this vital interview that contradicts the numerous things put out from this administration to play down the terrorism angle to preserve their political standings in polls. Pathetic. We deserved better than this when as a nation we voted in "the most transparent administration in history" as Pres Obama falsely promised to be.

According to your latest article....{emails detail unfolding- unfolding is right and YOU were Wrong!} you stated:
"The White House and State Department declined comment on the email alerts. The House Oversight Committee told CBS News the information in the emails will be part of their ongoing investigation into the Benghazi attack".. How is it you have the gall to claim this was first heard and that the White House declined to comment.... your interview was the NEXT DAY!!! We the people, have relied on your news organization to provide a fair, honest, and forthcoming news interviews. This is not the case anymore... What are you going to do to fix this with the american people?
