Republicans fabricated Benghazi email quotes — and ABC News reporter fell for the ruse
The right-wing noise machine has strongly implied, and falsely so, that the Obama administration doctored government emails concerning the Benghazi tragedy.
In truth, however, it was the Republicans themselves who doctored the emails. And a gullible reporter at ABC News peddled the falsifications to the public, as we see HERE:

Republicans outraged at federal probe of media they had demanded
Can you say “hypocrisy,” boys and girls?
HERE‘s a good example of hypocrisy:
If you’re wondering why the Department of Justice has been paging through two months’ worth of various Associated Press journalists’ phone records, you have to cast your mind back to the Spring of 2012.
Back then, the news was brimming with all sorts of exciting stories on the national security front. The AP reported in May that the CIA had “thwarted an ambitious plot by al-Qaeda’s affiliate in Yemen to destroy a U.S.-bound airliner” using “an upgrade of the underwear bomb that failed to detonate aboard …
