Sharyl Attkisson spoke with Philadelphia radio host Dom Giordano Friday about the latest Benghazi news and how she believes that the media is slowly becoming more interested in covering the story and “sounding the alarm” about the press restrictions being imposed by the Obama administration, in spite of their early pledge to be the most transparent administration.
Attkisson said this week’s big Benghazi revelations aren’t necessarily new information, but now there an “appetite for the information” in the mainstream press that wasn’t there before. She pointed out how there are journalists from every news organization starting to speak out on how much they’re being muzzled by the White House.
“They were sounding the alarm. These were reporters from The New York Times and many other places saying that the Obama Administration is imposing unprecedented restrictions on the media and this is something we need to be very concerned about.” Attkisson said the climate under the Obama administration “has not been good for investigative journalism” and the journalists who were hoping for a more transparent White House are now openly saying “this is worse for transparency than the Bush administration.”

Most journalists are liberal. But, if the public gets aroused, they’ll write what sells.
I hope you’re correct.
I view the journ-0-lists as functional members of the regime and unlikely to defect.
Like sharks in the water sensing blood.
Meanwhile the media is smelling blood in the water and can’t be seen as having covered for The Won any more than they already have...
Journolista’s need to understand; if true tyranny comes their usfule purpose will have been served. They will be the first to go.
Racists.
Attkisson just told Greta in an interview confirming that Obama knows who did it and where they are.
“Most journalists are liberal. But, if the public gets aroused, they’ll write what sells.”
I always mull that question around, but I bet what we might be seeing here is the media turning on a lame duck president a little early, their loyalties moving to the next candidate(of course, always a democrat)
Probably the first ones Stalin killed
The ‘media’ wanted totalitarianism....they got it.
Their sense of self importance is far to great for them to conceive of that. When they are standing up against a wall and getting the blindfold put on, most will still believe that it’s some sort of mistake, cant be happening because Herr Leader loves them.
Major Garrett of CBS asked Jay Carney a lot of tough questions the other day, however none of it was shown on See B.S. evening news.
Yes, but it is an unprincipled religion. They'll follow the money for a while if public revulsion is too great, but return to liberalism as soon as the coast is clear.
Tell it to Anna Politkovskaya, and don’t think the CPUSA currently in control in DC aren’t capable of the same activities.
will obama be so transparent as to go after the perps to lower the heat, just like clinton lobbed missiles on the eve of his impeachment
Barack Obama is mere months away from being utterly useless to the Demonrat party...except as an anchor on their asses...poor Barry...
