The Big Three network morning shows on Wednesday briefly noted the
one-year anniversary of the Islamist attack on the U.S. compound in
Benghazi, Libya, but not one pointed out the latest development in the
ongoing controversy over what happened. On Wednesday, CBS correspondent
Sharyl Attkisson reported on Twitter that Secretary of State John Kerry "tells [C]ongress he will not honor the request to make Benghazi survivors available for questioning."
Norah O'Donnell highlighted on Wednesday's CBS This Morning that "Republican Congressman Darrell Issa wants to interview survivors" and that "he's giving the State Department until Monday to meet his demand", but didn't mention Kerry's refusal.
The transcript of Norah O'Donnell's news brief from the 11 September 2013 edition of CBS This Morning:
NORAH O'DONNELL: A powerful blast this morning in Benghazi, Libya – it comes on the anniversary of the deadly attack at the U.S. consulate there. Officials say a car bomb exploded outside the foreign ministry offices this morning. No serious injuries are reported.
One year ago today, four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens, were killed on the assault on the U.S. mission. The chairman of the House Oversight Committee, Republican Congressman Darrell Issa, wants to interview survivors. He's giving the State Department until Monday to meet his demand.
