Topic: Sharyl Attkisson and CBS throw in the towel

[Libertas]

Attkisson, who has been with CBS News for two decades, had grown frustrated with what she saw as the network’s liberal bias, an outsize influence by the network’s corporate partners and a lack of dedication to investigative reporting, several sources said. She increasingly felt that her work was no longer supported and that it was a struggle to get her reporting on air.
 
At the same time, Attkisson’s reporting on the Obama administration, which some staffers characterized as agenda-driven, had led network executives to doubt the impartiality of her reporting. She is currently at work on a book — tentatively titled “Stonewalled: One Reporter’s Fight for Truth in Obama’s Washington” — that addresses the challenges of reporting critically on the administration.

CBS newsroom is now 100% occupied by Obama crockstuffers!  Can you imagine Bill Bradley giving Woodward and Bernstein the boot because they were too hard on Nixon?  Yeah, what a bunch of gutless sellouts.  Yesterdays "question all authority" counter-culture assclowns are now todays "those who question OUR authority will be crushed" tyrants.

All Prog's go to Hell, and the sooner the better.

I hope her book names names and pulls no punches, I hope it shoots to #1.

O rly?  And theirs isn't?

Enough irony to make you

Exactly.  The irony is simply beyond description.  Yet another example that the Left is utterly immune to cognitive dissonance.  And you just know they still believe their own propaganda about how they Speak Truth to Power^TM, Question Authority^TM, and all that other leftover 1960s horsesh*t that they abandoned the very second they became "The Man".

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

Sorry, everyone, but I don't recall ever seeing her or hearing about her.

While some championed her relentless dedication to investigations — ranging from defective Firestone tires to the Fast and Furious gun-walking scandal — others saw evidence of a political agenda, particularly against President Barack Obama. (The bulk of Attkisson’s work since 2009 has focused on the failures or perceived failures of the Obama administration, including its failed green-energy investments and the attack in Benghazi, though she has reported on several Republican failures as well.)

We've got three - now four -- threads with her in them regarding her reporting.  If you want some background, plug her name into the white search-box on the upper right corner.

Give her some credit, she isn't going away and she is trying to call attention to a cabal people are too willing to ignore...

"There is unprecedented, I believe, influence on the media, not just the news, but the images you see everywhere, by well-orchestrated and financed campaigns of special interests, political interests and corporations."

Democrat-Media Complex and the crony-capitalists that help fuel the system, that's who they are!

It is "man-bites-dog" but it doesn't make the truth less than the truth...

Shocking, I know!  Libiots conspiring together to manufacture the news!

Here's an interview with Reason TV.  Very interesting.

And I'm sort of thinking she's a bit of a MILF....   

[Libertas]

Not sure about the latter, may need more investigation on that. 

But she has been very consistent in her criticism of newsies covering this regime, and she deserves credit for keeping that torch lit.
