Responding to comments regarding a Phoenix television reporter yesterday who initially claimed that the White House pre-screens questions from reporters, Attkisson said,
“I wouldn’t surprised if sometimes there is that level of cooperation with some questions. If I need something answered from the White House and they won’t tell me, I’ll call our White House Correspondent. They’re friendlier with the White House Correspondents in general. So the White House Correspondent may ask Jay Carney or one of his folks about an issue and they will be told ‘ask that at the briefing and we’ll answer it.’ They want to answer it in front of everybody.
They do know it’s coming and they’ll call on you. There’s that kind of coordination sometimes. I wouldn’t be shocked if there’s sometimes more coordination. I don’t think it’s everybody on every briefing, every day. I’m pretty sure it’s not. But I think people would be surprised at the level of cooperation reporters have in general with politicians.”
“Nobody was interested in the stories. It didn’t seem to matter what the topic was. There’s sort of a problem all over, I talk to my colleagues in different mediums. There’s just a lot of pressure. Investigative reporting gets a lot of backlash. They don’t quite know how to deal with it. Why not just put on stories that don’t draw that kind of response?”

She needs a job...maybe on Palins new media venture!
“Nobody was interested in the stories...”
Who is Nobody & exactly which stories were they not interested in?
Sharyl Attkisson: There Is Coordination Between Reporters And Democrat Politicians
Sharryl is between a rock and a hard spot. She isn’t attractive enough for Fox News. And if she keeps up what she’s doing now..... she’s gonna end up living with Edward Snowden.
Our media is the new TASS.
This gives a new meaning to the phrase,”All the President’s Men”
She is not in Helen Thomas's class, but several of their females are short of Miss America caliber. Examples; Judith Miller, Ellen Rattner, Liz Trotta, Mara Liasson, and a few more.
She would be a good fit.
Not attractive enuff, ya sure?
That second one needs a razor.......
for her FACE!!!!
She has a good program but even a razor won't help that much.
What a shame there is only one reporter brave enough to admit the white house press conferences are rigged. Anybody with a brain knew that years ago. Even FOX’s Ed Henry (a supposed “tough reporter”) claimed there was no fix.
Her editors at CBS. Fast and Furious, Benghazi, etc.
She looks pretty good to me. Maybe RAT shill Kristen Powers is more your speed.
Check out greta’s sideburns. Did she used to be a dude?
Take a hike
[someone has a graphic where Sally Sweetlies has obviously been beaten into submission, I'd like a URL to that version, please?]
Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping!
To get onto The Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping List you must threaten to report me to the Mods if I don't add you to the list...
i’m confused. is this supposed to be news?
i guess the only bit left out would be how the press treats the members based on party affiliation
