*Administration Memo in Sept. 2012: How To Deal With Fox News Benghazi
Revelations*<http://jeffdunetz.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9a443c8dc3ed9a1571202cde1&id=32f0f75e45&e=e1333e4251>

In another example of the Obama Administration caring more about shaping
the Benghazi message than getting to the bottom of what happened during the
terrorist attack, *Fox News' Catherine
Herridge*<http://jeffdunetz.us2.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=9a443c8dc3ed9a1571202cde1&id=0440f89b2a&e=e1333e4251>discovered
there was an email circulated to high-level administration
people soon after the attack (9/27-9/28/2012), with a subject line of "*Fox
News: US officials knew Libya attack was terrorism within 24 hours, sources
confirm*."

The seven page-long email, whose purpose was to suggest coming up with a
media strategy to deal with the Fox report, has been released by the State
Department (see below)  with everything but the recipient and the subject
redacted. According to the State Department, the content can be withheld
because it contains executive branch deliberations.



*On the email chain, among others, Denis McDonough, the president’s deputy
national security adviser during Benghazi, John Brennan former White House
counter terrorism adviser and now CIA Director, then deputy director of the
CIA Michael Morell, and presidential aide Ben Rhodes who sent the email on
September 14, 2012, critics say, attempted to shape the public discussion
of Benghazi. Chris Farrell, with Judicial Watch, which is suing for the
documents, including the email related to the Fox News report, said “A
7-page dialog concerning one Fox News report to me demonstrates an alarm
bell situation where they are reacting to and trying to shape a response or
commentary to react to or to shut down reporting.*

*The reporting itself would appear to be at odds or at least to challenge
strongly the White House position that had been announced. And so this
report from Fox News would run counter to what the Obama administration was
attempting to put out there as their position.*
