And now: CNN walks back false "act of terror" fact check

Now, they tells us?

Twitchy told you immediately during tonight’s second presidential debate that President Barack Obama and CNN debate moderator Candy Crowley falsely characterized his Rose Garden statement about Benghazi in front of an audience of millions.

Forceful pushback from social media and the Romney camp has CNN on the run.

CNN's Anderson Cooper says that Obama / Crowley were wrong on #Libya statemetn. #Benghazi was not called an act of terror in Rose Garden.

Anderson Cooper just said the "act of terror" line was "not cut and dry" as Crowley said it was. #debate @CNN

Holy sheet. Even Anderson Cooper just admitted that Obama and Crowley were wrong on the Rose Garden "terror" reference.

@marymauldin @NY4Mitt @andersoncooper Thanks Mr Cooper for telling the truth. Crowley owes the public an apology on CNN, a clear apology.

Anderson Cooper at least saying the Libya "act of terror comment" saying open to be debate.

ANDERSON COOPER JUST SAID THAT THE "ACTS OF TERROR" QUOTE IS -NOT- THE CLEAR SLAM DUNK THAT THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN/CANDY CROWLEY CLAIMED IT WAS.

Careful, journo-tools! It’s hard to backpedal while carrying Obama’s huge buckets of water.
