...or have you always told the truth in your career... playing a journalist on tv?
__ or do you feel that question is just a bit inflammatory?
Scott Pelley, on the
CBS Evening News, asked Hillary Clinton: "Have you always told the truth?"
I ask you Mr. Pelley, have you ever asked a question not for it's informative value, but to win approval from the GOP, or your bosses, or to boost ratings?
... what other politicians have you asked: "Have you always told the truth?"... Have you ever asked a Republican "have you ALWAYS TOLD THE TRUTH?"
Let us consider that:
There have been 6 Republican lead committees that investigated the Benghazi embassy attack. Did you ask any of the Republican chairmen of any of these committees if their investigations were to get at the facts of the tragedy or were they partisan exercises to damage Sec. of State Hillary Clinton politically? IOW,
were the Republicans telling the truth about the purpose of the 6 Republican lead committees on Benghazi?
Did you ever have an interview with Sen. Mitch McConnell, or Rep. John Boehner where you asked them: "are you telling us the truth about the purpose of the six Republican lead Benghazi Committees?"
When the sixth Republican lead committee investigating Benghazi was impanelled, did you interview and ask either Chairman Gowdy, Mitch McConnell or John Boehner "what is the purpose of a sixth investigation when the previous Republican lead committee investigating Benghazi concluded there was no evidence of wrongdoing or nefarious activity on the part of Sec. Clinton, or conspiracy in the White House with Rice over what she said on Sunday "Talk" shows, no "stand down" order by the CIA? So what's the purpose for the sixth Republican lead committee on Benghazi. Is this a search for the truth about Benghazi as you have so often claimed.
are you telling the truth?"
Did you ask them: "When you say you have more questions to ask, ARE YOU
TELLING US THE TRUTH?????"
___ When Republican Rep. McCarthy let out that the serial Benghazi Show Trial of HRC was just to damage Hillary Clinton politically
........Did you ever ask anybody in the Republican leadership or any of the six Benghazi committee chairmen, if when they previously had vowed the Benghazi investigations were to uncover the truth about Benghazi - were they telling the truth when they made those avowals?
___ When Rep (R) Richard Hanna's statement that the Benghazi show trial "was designed to go after people, an individual, Hillary Clinton"
....... Did you ever ask anybody in the Republican leadership or any of the six Benghazi committee chairmen, if when they previously had vowed the Benghazi investigations were to uncover the truth about Benghazi - were they telling the truth when they made those avowals?
___ When Republican Maj.Bradley Podliska, former staff investigator of one of the Benghazi Committees, who was fired for complaining that the committee was spending too much time on HRC's emails, who stated the Benghazi Committee was a:
"politically motivated investigation targeting former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton instead of the thorough and objective fact-finding mission"
....... Did you ever ask anybody in the Republican leadership or any of the six Benghazi committee chairmen, if when they previously had vowed the Benghazi investigations were to uncover the truth about Benghazi - were they telling the truth when they made those avowals?
During the time when the Republicans mounted six serial Benghazi investigations committees did you ever suggest to superiors at your station that a report should be done on the serial Benghazi investigations to explore whether there was a poliltical motivation involved in the endless investigations? Was the Republican party out to damage Hillary Clinton politically, if only in the minds of the suggestable and therefor susciptible to McCarthyist tactics (as opposed to those who would wait to see if any evidence of untoward activity by Sec. Clinton was uncovered). In other words interview Republican leadership to find out
if they were telling the truth?
Hillary Clinton's use of a personal server to handle her emails has been much reported on by news programs, including CBS Evening News. Did you ever, Mr. Pelley, report on television that an email account on a commercial email provider's server is [font size="+1"]entirely unsecure[/font] because, unlike HRC's arrangement (a Government IT specialist to maintain system security), all email service providers have dozens to hundreds of personnel to maintain security from hackers and malware - AND WHO,
IN ORDER TO DO THEIR JOBS MUST BE ABLE TO ACCESS ANY EMAILS IN THEIR SYSTEM. Thus, any Classified Information in a Government email residing on a commercial email service providers server (
as the State department reported was the case with Colin Powell's and Condi Rice's personal email accounts, provided by commercial email service providers) is, necessarily, compromised. Or did you not think this was NOT newsworthy?... IF that is your contention, are you
telling us the truth NOW?.
Mr. Pelley, as you appear on television presenting yourself as a reliable, legitimate, journalist, reporting only the facts ...
are you telling us the truth or are you a fraud, Mr. Pelley?

NOTE to readers: the news media has been referred to as "the fourth estate". As such, they hold a public trust to report the truth and to be trustworthy monitors of what government is doing. So, those who present themselves as trusted communicators of what is really going on in the seats of power should be free from bias and above being influenced or bought by those in power.
