Two weeks after offering a mere 21-second news brief on allegations that the Pentagon altered intelligence data on ISIS “to provide a more optimistic account of progress” against the terror group, Thursday’s CBS This Morning was the only network morning show to report on 50 intelligence officials confirming that their analyses were changed.

Talking to former CIA deputy director Mike Morell on This Morning, fill-in co-host and Face the Nation moderator John Dickerson wondered: “I want to get your thoughts this morning about a story in The Daily Beast about 50 intelligence officials who have said that in some cases say their reports have been altered by senior officials in some cases to make it look like the fight against ISIS and Al Qaeda is going better than it might be. What's your reaction to that?”
