https://www.nytimes.com/2013/11/27/business/media/leave-of-absence-for-lara-logan-after-flawed-benghazi-report.html

QuoteThe CBS News correspondent Lara Logan and her producer, Max McClellan, made serious errors in an Oct. 27 report on the attack on the American compound in Benghazi, Libya, and will take leaves of absence, the network announced on Tuesday. Four Americans died in the Sept. 11, 2012, attack, including Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens.

The moves come after weeks of criticism directed at a "60 Minutes" report which was based on an interview with a hired security agent, Dylan Davies, whose comments to CBS News were later discredited.

CBS did not specify the length of the leave of absence for its two staff members, nor whether they would continue to be paid. In general, television correspondents do not lose salary unless they are suspended.

In defense of its report, CBS said earlier that it had been duped by Mr. Davies. Mr. Ortiz contradicted that by saying CBS could have, and should have, been able to verify Mr. Davies's account before presenting him as a reliable source.

"The wider reporting resources of CBS News were not employed in an effort to confirm his account," Mr. Ortiz wrote. He concluded: "Logan and producer Max McClellan told me they found no reason to doubt Davies's account and found no holes in his story. But the team did not sufficiently vet Davies's account of his own actions and whereabouts that night."

The report also criticizes Ms. Logan for not adequately substantiating her conclusion that Al Qaeda took part in the attack and for making a speech in October 2012 that took a position on the attack, and then participating in a story in which she would have been expected to be objective about the facts of the attack.

"From a CBS News standards perspective, there is a conflict in taking a public position on the government's handling of Benghazi and Al Qaeda, while continuing to report on the story," Mr. Ortiz wrote. The report also took "60 Minutes" to task for not disclosing on the air that a book written by Mr. Davies about the incident was published by one of the company's units.

Whitey:  You are doing a great job not addressing the real issues we are confronted with during this pandemic. Lift your head out of your Bubble and redirect your focus to the failings of the incompetent greedy syndicate that is running this country into the ditch yet again. Your faux rage against a justice department that defended the country against Foreign agents; Your stout defense of the Trump syndicate is admirable for a "non Trumper".
You are working very hard at keeping our eyes of the ball.
Spend a little more time addressing the pandemic, the biggest problem we have had to address since WW2.  Whether you know it or not you are only helping to prop up a dishonest greedy cabal by disseminating slanted propaganda.

In the city of San Francisco where I am right now the tenderloin is a no go zone with hundreds of extra homeless gathering there ignoring all instructions about masks and social distancing while the city officials implement strict guidelines for everyone else .  For the few that do listen they are put up in hotels and have alcohol and weed brought to the hotel for them so they don't leave , not sure if heroine is on the menu or not at the moment.  The policy of years coming back to haunt us .

Benghazi investigation led to the email problem which cost her the election
