Are you shocked? Actually, in this case, I really am. I didn't realize how deep into Nazi territory we were. Now I know.

“...Bordering on advocacy...?”

Ah, liberal (and very smelly) libs once again demonstrating their stupidity.

” Ben Rhodes, who has a masters in fiction from NYU..”

Sounds like a perfect resume for working in the Obama administration.

The White Hut “OWNS” ABC through Stephanopoulos,
CBS through this,
and NBC by way of no taxes for decades.

The US Media is a shadow of what it was during Watergate.
Now it is COMPLICIT with the Corrupt and Enemies of the USA.

That hillary scrubbing the blood (Fight the Smears!) .gif is one of the hardest-hitting ever made.

What are the chances if that happen that there will Nixonian comments being bantered around by the other news outlets. It is outrageous to even contemplate that a reporter would be fired for printing the truth. At one time that was their job. If this actually happens and the remaining outlets do nothing, there is no doubt media outlets have been converted into propaganda organizations got the democrat party.

Attkisson actually dared to expose the media lies regarding Benghazi.

Good for her. She has more cajones than half the dickless bastids who call themselves journalists.

But of course - she must be silenced.

Sharyl Attkisson could have a future in conservative news outlets. All she needs to do is to spill the beans about how CBS works.

But she would need heavy security.

This is beyond belief. "...bordering on advocacy..."? Advocacy for what? The truth?

I mean, holy crap....MSNBC is essentially a PR firm for clients such as Barack 0bama, Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi among others. And Shasyl Attkinson gets CBS's special attention?

Is this satire?

I can only repeat what autumntaine has said so well, "Are you shocked? Actually, in this case, I really am. I didn't realize how deep into Nazi territory we were. Now I know."

Anyone wanting on or off this ping list, please advise.

Great post. She was also the biggest (only?) voice outside of Fox, blogs, “new media”, etc. to have any substantive coverage of the Fast and Furious scandal as well.

I hope CBS wises up, but if they don’t and fire her with whatever imagined or trumped-up “charges” they can manage (”editorial standards”, e.g.), the reaction of the rest of Old Media will tell all.

My only hope is that at some point, the reporters start letting their own egos and why they got into journalism will allow them to fight the higher ups that the politicos have put in place.

Of course, I have been hoping that the Republicans in Congress would let their own egos get tired of being trumped by the President.

Pretty ballsy of Ms. Attkisson to reveal through her reporting the involvement of her boss’s boss’s (I presume) brother and his boss.
