Wow. The @nytimes is *still* blaming the Terrible Horrible YouTube Video for Benghazi nyti.ms/Pqy5Y8

Jeff Emanuel (@jeffemanuel) October 24, 2012State Department emails show that the White House, the Pentagon and intelligence agencies knew within two hours that the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi was terrorism. But the Fishwrap of Record is still clinging bitterly to the lies the Obama administration told for days after the attack.
In an article on the film “SEAL Team Six: The Raid on Osama bin Laden,” the New York Times continues to blame “The Innocence of Muslims” for the”spontaneous riots” that resulted in the deaths of four Americans at the hands of terrorists.
Beyond the political issues, the film may carry the risk of associating Mr. Obama with any backlash in a Muslim world already inflamed by the YouTube trailer for an insulting film portrayal of its prophet. In September riots erupted in Libya, Egypt and elsewhere as Muslim crowds reacted violently to what they perceived as the unforgivable insults of a scratch production, “The Innocence of Muslims,” some of which was posted on YouTube.
Shameful lapdoggery.

JammieWearingFool asked reporter Brian Stelter to explain his report.
@brianstelter How can you actually still report the YouTube video set off riots in Libya?—

No reply, natch.
@jeffemanuel @MelissaTweets I asked the "reporter" about that. No reply, of course jammiewf.com/?p=19411—

@MelissaTweets Thanks. This crap is not reporting and these people like @brianstelter need to be called out on it—

Twitchy will update you if Stelter comes up with a spin for his disgraceful spin.
