NY Times on Lara Logan's screwed up reporting:
As CBS was backtracking on its report, Threshold Books, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, said in a statement that it was recommending that booksellers remove Mr. Davies’s book from their shelves. “The Embassy House” was published Oct. 29, and more than 38,000 copies are in print.
Ms. Logan did not reply to requests for an interview Friday. In an interview earlier this week, she had ardently defended Mr. Davies’s character and his veracity against charges that he had given differing accounts of the events that night in Benghazi.Threshold is a right wing nutcase publisher ("Threshold Editions is an imprint of Simon & Schuster that specializes in conservative non-fiction. Recent successes include #1 New York Times bestsellers Liberty and Tyranny by Mark Levin, An Inconvenient Book by Glenn Beck, and The Obama Nation by Jerome R. Corsi, Ph.D."), and that CBS is at all associated with it (it owns Simon and Schuster) and would push this conspiracy theory to sell books and pander to Benghazi nutters tells you everything you need to know in terms of trusting their judgment
CBS is the same organization that screwed up their interview of an Obamacare "victim", only to have Fox News straighten them out:
