(IBD) NYT Revives Benghazi Video Lie To Save Hillary – Tea Party Nation.

Benghazi: The attempt to rehabilitate Hillary Clinton begins as the New York Times revives the long-ago debunked “video clip” excuse for the well-planned Benghazi massacre while denying documented al-Qaida involvement.

These days it’s all the news that is fit to be made up that graces the pages of the once-proud Gray Lady that has morphed from a self-proclaimed “newspaper of record” to the house organ for the Obama administration.

The latest example is a piece on the Benghazi terrorist attack of Sept. 10, 2010, titled, “A Deadly Mix in Benghazi.” It resembles the infamous White House talking points — on steroids.

The Times tries to present a truth from a parallel universe that it claims is somewhere between the Obama administration’s long-repeated claim that “the video, which was posted on YouTube, inspired spontaneous street protests that got out of hand” and the version “favored by Republicans, (that) holds that (U.S. Ambassador Chris) Stevens died in a carefully planned assault by al-Qaida to mark the anniversary of its strike on the United States 11 years before.”

Then, in a spasm of journalistic doublespeak, the Times proclaims “Benghazi was not infiltrated by al-Qaida, but nonetheless contained grave local threats to American interests. The attack does not appear to have been meticulously planned, but neither was it spontaneous or without warning signs.”

The Times goes on to describe then-U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice’s recitation of the edited talking points on five Sunday talk shows as simply a “misstatement” and not a lie agreed upon.
