[See NewsBusters for more.] The journalists at Good Morning America on Monday worried that 13 Hours, the new Benghazi movie, is a “political hot potato.” Reporter Juju Chang trumpeted that the “untold version of events in Benghazi [is] also sparking fresh controversy.”  Talking to Michael Bay, who she introduced as “known for killer Transformers,” the reporter fretted that 13 Hours has "turned into a political hot potato. Why did you want to pick that up?” Speaking of the accusation they were told to stand down, “the CIA calls the claims a distortion of events and people.”
