ABC doubles down on Benghazi fantasy

When a conspiracy theorist doubles down on their theory after being proven wrong, that's when you know they're delusional. ABC's Jonathan Karl is like that.

After ABC was busted using a fabricated e-mail to bolster the Republicans' already-discredited Benghazi conspiracy theory, they're doubling down instead of admitting they were wrong.

Karl says the correct version of the e-mail shows the faked version was actually right in its substance - though in fact it does not. He goes on and on trying to justify using an unverified e-mail that turned out to be fabricated.

Remember when CBS forced Dan Rather into retirement for using the Killian memos, which to this day have yet to be debunked? The state of The Media in modern times is that reporters are forced out if they report authentic items, but are allowed to stay on if they report made-up crap like Karl did.

On the other hand, does any average person outside the right-wing iron bubble even take the Benghazi hearings seriously?
