CBS News Asks for Transcript of Their Bogus 60 Minutes Benghazi Report Deleted From Lexis-Nexis

[okaawhatever]

While Republicans are trumping up their Benghazi hysteria, CBS News had the transcript of Lara Logan’s untrue 60 Minutes Benghazi report deleted from the Lexis Nexis database.

According to Think Progress, “CBS deleted the story and transcript from its website and searching the Lexis Nexis database will yield no results for a transcript of the report — that’s because, according Lexis Nexis, both the introduction to the story and the report itself have been “deleted at the request of CBS News due to legal or copyright reasons.”

We also know now, thanks to a lengthy piece in New York Magazine which Republican was behind Logan’s 60 Minutes story:

Benghazi had been thoroughly politicized from the beginning. But rather than steering clear of the political battle, Logan headed right toward it, consulting with Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, a strong critic of the administration’s handling of the incident whom she’d met once in Afghanistan. “I really didn’t know her until she started doing this piece on Benghazi,” he told me.

2. Down the memory hole. I didn't realize they could just ask and get their stuff deleted.

[okaawhatever]

5. It has been deleted but Lexis Nexis says for copyright reasons. I'll bet CBS threatened a lawsuit on

copyright infringement if they didn't take it down.

according Lexis Nexis, both the introduction to the story and the report itself have been “deleted at the request of CBS News due to legal or copyright reasons.”

7. "legal _or_ copyright reasons" hm. Which?

I guess Lexis Nexis just says "fine and dandy" when given a vague reason.

8. They probably say fine and dandy when threatened with a lawsuit.

They provide an invaluable service, but I've never gotten the impression they had really deep pockets.

3. Liar Lara Logan's return is uncertain:

It is fair to question all of her stories, including the one's from Egypt.

4. Hope their attempt fails...

...CBS News should be remembered for this story.

9. If fell down George Orwell's famous memory hole

never to be seen again...

10. Next we'll see Chris Mathews ask to have his Bush carrier landing coverage deleted.

11. Just in time for the NY Mag article and all the spin-off articles. nt

14. My guess is someone out there was smart enough to save a copy of the transcripts

Things can get mysteriously posted places and CBS can play wack-a-mole, but they are going to lose. Just like they have with most copyright infringement suits/threats.
