Editing 60 Minutes (section)

===Benghazi report===
After the [[2012 Benghazi attack]], ''60 Minutes'' aired a report by correspondent [[Lara Logan]] on October 27, 2013, in which British military contractor Dylan Davies, identified by CBS under the pseudonym "Morgan Jones", described racing to the Benghazi compound several hours after the main assault was over, scaling a 12-foot wall and knocking out a lone fighter with the butt of a rifle. He also claimed to have visited a Benghazi hospital earlier that night where he saw Ambassador [[J. Christopher Stevens|Christopher Stevens]]' body.

In the days following the report, Davies' personal actions were challenged.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/60-minutes-broadcast-helps-propel-new-round-of-back-and-forth-on-benghazi/2013/10/31/fbfcad66-4258-11e3-a751-f032898f2dbc_story.html|title='60 Minutes' broadcast helps propel new round of back-and-forth on Benghazi|newspaper=[[The Washington Post]]|date=October 31, 2013|first=Karen|last=DeYoung}}</ref> The FBI, which had interviewed Davies several times and considered him a credible source,<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/11/14/why-dylan-davies-disappeared.html|title=Why Dylan Davies Disappeared|work=[[The Daily Beast]]|date=November 14, 2013|first=Eli|last=Lake}}</ref> said the account Davies had given them was different from what he told ''60 Minutes''. Davies stood by his story,<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2013/11/06/business/media/cbs-news-defends-its-60-minutes-benghazi-report.html|title=CBS News Defends Its '60 Minutes' Benghazi Report|first=Bill|last=Carter|date=November 5, 2013|work=The New York Times}}</ref> but the inconsistency ultimately prompted ''60 Minutes'' to conclude it was a mistake to include Davies in their report. The show issued a correction.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2013/11/11/business/media/60-minutes-airs-apology-on-benghazi.html|title='60 Minutes' Airs Apology on Benghazi|first1=Brian|last1=Stelter|first2=Bill|last2=Carter|date=November 10, 2013|work=The New York Times}}</ref>

After the correction, a journalistic review was conducted by Al Ortiz, CBS News' executive director of standards and practices. Ortiz determined that red flags about Davies' account were missed.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/11/26/lara-logan-60-minutes-leave_n_4344883.html|title=CBS News' Lara Logan Taking Leave Of Absence Over Discredited '60 Minutes' Benghazi Report|work=[[The Huffington Post]]|date=November 26, 2013|first=Michael|last=Calderone}}</ref> Davies had told the program and written in his book that he told an alternative version of his actions to his employer, who he said had demanded that he stay inside his Benghazi villa as the attack unfolded. That alternative version was shared with U.S. authorities; 60 Minutes was unable to prove the story Davies had told them was true.<ref name=CBSNews>{{cite news|url=https://www.cbsnews.com/news/cbs-asks-lara-logan-to-take-leave-after-flawed-benghazi-report/|title=CBS asks Lara Logan to take Leave after Flawed Benghazi Report|work=[[CBS News]]|date=November 26, 2013}}</ref>

Davies' book, ''The Embassy House'', was published two days after the ''60 Minutes'' report, by Threshold Editions, part of the Simon and Schuster unit of CBS. It was pulled from shelves once ''60 Minutes'' issued its correction.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://mediamatters.org/blog/2013/11/08/simon-amp-schuster-pulls-discredited-benghazi-b/196812|title=Simon & Schuster Pulls Discredited Benghazi Book|publisher=[[Media Matters for America]]|date=November 8, 2013|first=Eric|last=Hananoki}}</ref>
