Ex-CBS reporter: Government agency bugged my computer
NY Post ^ | October 27, 2014 | Kyle Smith and Bruce Golding

Posted on 10/27/2014 6:39:08 AM PDT by detective

A former CBS News reporter who quit the network over claims it kills stories that put President Obama in a bad light says she was spied on by a “government-related entity” that planted classified documents on her computer.

In her new memoir, Sharyl Attkisson says a source who arranged to have her laptop checked for spyware in 2013 was “shocked” and “flabbergasted” at what the analysis revealed.

Who will appoint the prosecutor? Whom will the answer to? What will happen if they find something?

When the Fedgov is the one doing the crime, there is no person or organization inside the Fedgov who will attack it.

She being allowed to release this for a reason. It is a warning to others.

Agreed. Happens ALL the time. Which is why I rant about Election fraud instead of voter fraud (isn’t much of any). It’s also why I hate that some of our dimwith GOPers scream about spend as much as we can on brute force weapons (waste).

Stop it, you CONCERN TROLL.

It is a DISTINCTION WITHOUT A DIFFERENCE.

They are BOTH VOTER FRAUD. Electronic or paper. Stop splitting hairs like a Concern Troll would.

Stop Concern Trolling.

If you are interested in not being viewed as a Concern Troll, simply state your case about the voter fraud in the electronic arena, and leave aside the rest.

We are the Soviet Union.

The only reason they don't come after us, is we do not matter enough.

I’m surprised no other network has offered her a job...

I'm not. We do not have a media. We have a Ministry of Propaganda.

The US is no longer a free country. It has morphed into something well beyond the Founders’ worst nightmares.

instead of voter fraud (isn’t much of any)

If there "isn't much of any" voter fraud, what is your explanation for the left's fighting tooth and nail against voter ID?

If the instances of voter fraud are so miniscule, wouldn't it serve to enhance the credibility of the left if they wholeheartedly endorsed the principle of integrity in the voting process?

What harm would befall them if voter fraud was practically non-existent and ineffectual?

They fight against voter ID precisely because voter fraud does have an important impact on elections.

Was Nixon not forced to resign over something like this?

Attkinson lost her job because she wasn’t kissing the regimes butt.

And people wonder why I have said, FOR YEARS, that fear of career-ending retribution from the Obama Administration, and it’s worshippers in the Media Management, is driving much of the Mainstream Media’s non-coverage of the endless corruption and scandals.

And here is the proof, for all to see.

I wonder if the Networks will mention any of this, on air?

“I’m surprised no other network has offered her a job...”

She has served as an excellent example to others in the media of what could happen TO THEM, if they dared to go against the Obama administration/Media Matters-approved talking points.

“This is outrageous. Worse than anything Nixon ever did. I wouldn’t have believed something like this could happen in the United States of America,” Attkisson quotes the source saying.

When a spineless lilly livered limp wristed congress lets
it be known that it is going to set there and do nothing
about a criminally corrupt regime in the white hut, expect
anything. She’s lucky she’s still alive. Hell, we all are.

However, Atkinson has decided to continue to report the TRUTH, which is why FOX has her on continually. By being her own boss, she is free to go where she wants to with her research.

She has more guts that all of CBS, NB, ABC and CNN put together. MSNBC is nothing more than a far-left bad dream but they have as much credibility as OJ Simpson.

"... either the CIA, FBI, the Defense Intelligence Agency or the National Security Agency.”

Here is my take:

First consider the Organization Chart for the Department of Justice. Note which of the above organizations report to Eric Holder. If you look closely you will see the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the FBI. Given that, my assessment of the likely agency to be involved is:


NSA: 0%
DIA: 0%
CIA: 0%
FBI: 100%

>>says she was spied on by a “government-related entity”

She needs to be more specific than that. Her old employer, CBS, is a “government-related entity”. So are the ABC, NBC, CNN, MSNBC.

I heard she had a mac...looks like there are some serious security issues on it for them to remotely install malware! Or installed by just clicking on a link in an email.

“Election fraud instead of voter fraud “

They are one and the same.
