Sharyl Attkisson used to be an investigative journalist for CBS News, but now finds herself making headlines as the whistleblower who blew the lid off CBS's blatant bias toward the president and his administration.
...
Attkisson exposes outright political corruption, and the media circus surrounding the Obama Administration; the constant praise and fawning over the president, the political bent on stories, and the decision to air “softer” news versus hard-hitting investigative reports that could potentially show the Obama Administration in bad light.
Attkisson cites many examples of liberal media bias in Stonewalled. When asking follow-up questions on scandals such as Benghazi or Fast and Furious, Attkisson has been viewed by many in the White House as being an “unreasonable” reporter. White House national security spokesman Tommy Vietor replied, “I give up, Sharyl . . . I’ll work with more reasonable folks that follow up, I guess.”

One of her bosses had a rule that conservative analysts must always be labeled conservatives, but liberal analysts were simply “analysts"…

None of this is news to people on Free Republic. However the average American has been and remains oblivious.
Reporting the obvious.
I like her.
Buy Attkisson’s book.
First Bernie Goldberg and now Sharyl Attkisson.
Hope she has good protection. She might wind up having an “accident”
Captain Obvious....paging Captain Obvious.....
...and Goldberg is still waiting for his former MSM buddies to go after all the corruption he exposed.
But no, they closed ranks and shut him down, and now they’ll do the same to Sharyl Attkinson.
Ideology trumps everything in the media - no one cares about the truth, or breaking the big story anymore. It’s all about protecting the “right” people so that you keep getting those invites to the best Beltway parties!
I’m afraid Miss Attkinson is just preaching to the choir. She won’t get any air time for promoting her book at any of the major morning shows except maybe on FOX and the libs can denounce her as another conservative hack.
I tried to watch CBS “Madame Secretary” for more than 30 seconds... yikes...

I have always admired her reporting. It’s irritating to read the “I already knew that” comments here. Well, Bully for you!
Bernie is still an elitist tu@d, just couldn't make money anymore with his old pals.
You’re right; until the Republican Party and conservative movement rightly regard the media as Democrat agents; they will always fight an uphill battle. They need their own media, their own ground game, that function independently of the media overlords assigned to us.
The best messages mean nothing if they never reach voters’ ears or are spun into nonsense.
