On the Sunday, May 19 edition of CNN's Reliable Sources, host Howard Kurtz read a statement from Jonathan Karl, chief White House Correspondent for ABC News in response to his reporting on altered emails related to the Sunday talk show talking points following the attacks on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya in September 2012. Karl now expresses regret about his original reporting on May 10th on the Benghazi emails. The statement reads:
“Clearly, I regret the email was quoted incorrectly and I regret that it’s become a distraction from the story, which still entirely stands. I should have been clearer about the attribution. We updated our story immediately.”
-Jonathan Karl, ABC News Chief White House Correspondent

Kurtz: “The mistake that I made was sloppy and inexcusable… Because I have been a media critic for two decades, I should be held to a higher standard, because I am the host of this program, I should be held to a higher standard.

With the studio's new technical tools and data visualization capabilities, the network is better positioned to tell the story for viewers on data-heavy nights like election night or during breaking news. The studio is a dual purpose facility; it has a dividing glass wall that enables the network to have simultaneous broadcasts in two separate studios or it can be one open space for big production programming, such as Election Night 2012.

The Sunday, April 22 edition of CNN's Reliable Sources featured a media panel discussion on the coverage of presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romey's campaign for president. A highlighted excerpt from this interview is below.
Mandatory citation: CNN's Reliable Sources:
KURTZ: Mitt Romney has done six cable news interviews in the last four weeks, five of them with FOX News. Now that he's emerged as the unofficial Republican nominee, Romney is still keeping the national media at arm's length, still granting little access to the reporters who cover him - and now, in an interview with Breitbart TV, accusing journalists of being in the tank for the other guy.
(BEGIN AUDIO CLIP)
LARRY O'CONNOR, BREITBART NEWS: These organizations who are attacking you were nonprofit and they're working with the campaign. Hopefully, we can call on you to - or have you call on an investigation for them? FULL POST
On CNN's 'Reliable Sources' Sunday, CNN's Arwa Damon discussed the dangers of reporting from Syria. Joined by CBS News Foreign Correspondent Clarissa Ward, Damon told host Howard Kurtz that reporting from Syria is "absolutely" a risk worth taking.
"I don't think any of us really believes that we're invincible. We are very hyper-sensitive to the risks we're exposing ourselves to, but at the end of the day – to truly be able to tell these stories – you have to put yourself in the same situation as those civilians whose plight you are covering," said Damon. "There is no way to do justice to what people are going through unless you yourself are there as well."
When asked if the deaths of journalists like Marie Colvin would stop news organizations from sending reporters into Syria, Damon said: "I think a lot of people will pause and think about it again before actually going in, but I do not think that is going to stop us from continuing to try to figure out different ways of getting into the country. Bashar al-Assad's tactics are not going to stop us from reporting that story."
