60 Minutes' Steve Kroft Apologizes To Coworkers After Affair Becomes Public

By Corey Charlton, Feb. 6, 2015, DailyMail.co.uk

Veteran 60 Minutes correspondent Steve Kroft has selectively apologized to a handful of his co-workers following revelations of his affair, but many female staff remain 'cringing' and 'creeped out' by the contents of the pair's lurid text messages.

Details of the affair between the married correspondent, 69, and Harvard-educated 41-year-old lawyer Lisan Goines first emerged early last month.

Throughout their affair, the two exchanged a series of racy text messages, including one in which he told her he 'would rather be eating your pudding' than be at work.

UNETHICAL: Sharyl Attkisson Reveals CBS Buried An Obama Quote On Benghazi

Alexa Coombs, Nov. 10, 2014, Political Insider

Former CBS reporter Sharyl Attkisson revealed explosive information on Fox News Channel’s “MediaBuzz” that CBS worked unethically to help President Obama win reelection.

Of course, you remember the infamous moment in the second presidential debate when moderator Candy Crowley interjected to wrongly say that Obama had called the Benghazi attack an act of terror on September 12, 2012. It turns out CBS sat on a clip of the president refusing to call the attack terrorism in an interview with Steve Kroft of “60 Minutes” from September 12th.

Why Obama Can’t Say His Spies Underestimated ISIS

Steve Kroft interviews President Obama

On 60 Minutes, the president faulted his spies for failing to predict the rise of ISIS. There’s one problem with that statement: The intelligence analysts did warn about the group.

Nearly eight months ago, some of President Obama’s senior intelligence officials were already warning that ISIS was on the move. In the beginning of 2014, ISIS fighters had defeated Iraqi forces in Fallujah, leading much of the U.S. intelligence community to assess they would try to take more of Iraq.

But in an interview that aired Sunday evening, the president told 60 Minutes that the rise of the group now proclaiming itself a caliphate in territory between Syria and Iraq caught the U.S. intelligence community off guard. Obama specifically blamed James Clapper, the current director of national intelligence: “Our head of the intelligence community, Jim Clapper, has acknowledged that, I think, they underestimated what had been taking place in Syria,” he said.

Reached by The Daily Beast after Obama’s interview aired, one former senior Pentagon official who worked closely on the threat posed by Sunni jihadists in Syria and Iraq was flabbergasted. “Either the president doesn’t read the intelligence he’s getting or he’s bullshitting,” the former official said.
