Sinclair Broadcasting Group has announced that it has hired former CBS News investigative reporter Sharyl Attkisson to host a new national Sunday morning program that will air on its affiliates.

The 30-minute show will launch in the fall and will be “a blend of investigative and political journalism, with a focus on accountability.”

“We are excited to have Sharyl on board as we launch this group-wide news program,” said Vice President of News for Sinclair Television Group Scott Livingston. “Our goal is to provide the context and perspective on major issues impacting our viewers.

This lady has the credentials to host what I hope will be a fresh new Sunday talk show to compete with the drive-bys.

I see from her Wikipedia page she holds a third degree black belt in taekwondo.

This lady has the credentials to host what I hope will be a fresh new Sunday talk show to compete with the drive-bys. She's also a bit of a fruitcake, as evidenced by the video she released to prove that her computer was "hacked."

Ping to Sharyl’s List upchuck!

I’m not familiar with Sinclair, what networks are theirs?

[Yo-Yo]

All of them, in various markets. They're one of the largest group owners in the country.

How was that video evidence of her being a “fruitcake?”

Everything i have seen her do has been on the up-and-up.

Read her book. Her computer WAS hacked and a couple of classified document inserted onto it. She is one of the only investigative journalists left. But she had to leave CBS when they refused to air any of her stories that implicated the Obama Admin for wrongdoing. Look up Lisa Myers while you're at it. She just left NBC for the same reason. Both of these women have covered both sides of the aisle for a long time. Gone are the days of unbiased reporting. All Hail Emperor Obama! (Big Media's chant)

If they're smart, they'll stream it as well. Thanks PROCON.

Thanks, folks!

So she’s a fruitcake? Fine, let’s have more just like her.

How was that video evidence of her being a “fruitcake?”

The video shows the cursor moving and text being deleted in an open document. Hollywood aside, that's not how hacking works, and is much more consistent with a stuck backspace key than anything else.

Yes, and Sharyl Attkisson is interesting.

Some areas are more represented than others.

Maybe one more for you this fall?

I am SO ready for a Sunday show that’s NOT run by a liberal....

Sinclair is a chain of independently owned TV stations (WBFF in Baltimore, WPGH in Pittsburgh, WSMH in Flint, MI, etc.) The ownership ran some Conservative documentaries during the 2004 Presidential race.

BS flag is on the field. Remote operation of a computer is routinely done - not just a “stuck key”.

Experts are such fun.
