CBS Downplays White House Connection Amid Non-Coverage of Benghazi Scandal.

From The Huffington Post via Instapundit:

CBS News President David Rhodes was not involved in editorial discussions on Wednesday about whether “CBS Evening News” should cover a newly released email written by his brother Ben Rhodes, the White House deputy national security adviser, according to a network spokesperson.

The email, written by Rhodes shortly after the deadly 2012 attack in Benghazi, Libya, showed how the White House played a role in shaping the talking points Susan Rice, then the ambassador to the United Nations, was to use in interviews. ....

While “CBS This Morning” reported on the email Wednesday morning, the evening newscast did not -- a decision that caught the attention of the Washington Free Beacon. The website pointed out the Rhodes connection on Wednesday, and the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, followed up Thursday with a piece titled: "Two Brothers at Center of Benghazi Controversy: One Runs CBS News, the Other Is Obama’s Adviser."

So one brother is an Obama advisor in charge of dealing with the Benghazi Incident and the other run the Network News that didn't investigate the issue. The same network that would not provide support to a well established investigative reporter.

Coincidence?

Of course not. Unless you have a Republican President.
