Sharyl Attkisson is also one of the few who has been pursuing the “Fast and Furious” story.

This is too serious an offense to banish her to the 11pm weather forecast in Toledo. I predict she’ll be doing the weather in Fresno.

Yes, Hillary will reveal nothing. And her toadies in the news media will start pushing her as a Presidential candidate.

Hey, American public, are you really this stupid?

I never listen to Coast to Coast but last night I couldn’t sleep and was desperate. They had on a fellow who is in the witness protection program who spoke about terrorism and the blind sheik in particular. According to this guy, Bin Laden was a nothing compared to the sheik. He(the sheik) believes he’s destined to lead Egypt. I certainly got the impression that the Muslims will do just about anything to get him freed.

Welcome to the club little sister. I’d be happy to send her another dozen topics to continue her studies.

There was a time when CBS was the gold standard in broadcast news gathering

ONLY because we didn't know any better back then.

Yes, there’s a pretty fertile field for research if she really gets going on it...that said, I was impressed by the specificity and clarity of her questions about this matter. Of course, the rest of the press is probably hoping she’ll take a long walk off a short pier or something like that.

The Committee should hire Sheryll Attkinson to question Hillary for them.

Instead, here is the likely agenda for each Congressional Rep’s 15 minute inquisition:
5 minutes: solicitude for Ms. Clinton good health;
1 minute: probing questions like: “Isn’t this whole Libya and Benghazi matter just one of those things?;
3 minutes: Ms. Clinton dodging said questions with “Aw shucks, I wish I could remember, but you’ll have to ask someone else about that”;
1 minute on final question, “May we grovel in fear and worship you as a god? Yes?”
5 minutes thanking Ms. Clinton for her brilliant, courageous, heroic, ground-breaking historic service, helpful testimony, and permission to grovel.

Interesting. They certainly do seem to be fixated on getting that blind sheik creature back among them.

Perhaps I missed it but I didn't notice any tough investigative reporting prior to November - from any major network.

I'd nominate Jake Tapper of ABC as one reporter who was in there looking for honest and complete answers during the campaign.

In the 1940s and early 50s CBS was excellent at straight reporting.
So were many newspapers.

More's the pity more of us can't remember.
I think Journalism has been hijacked.

I remember all of the lies in the 60’s about Vietnam so yeah I missed the era of honesty.
