Sharyl Attkisson is an unreasonable woman. Important people have told her so.
When the longtime CBS reporter asked for details about reinforcements sent to the Benghazi compound during the Sept. 11, 2012 terrorist attack, White House national security spokesman Tommy Vietor replied, I give up, Sharyl . . . Ill work with more reasonable folks that follow up, I guess.
Another White House flack, Eric Schultz, didnt like being pressed for answers about the Fast and Furious scandal in which American agents directed guns into the arms of Mexican drug lords. Goddammit, Sharyl! he screamed at her. The Washington Post is reasonable, the LA Times is reasonable, The New York Times is reasonable. Youre the only one whos not reasonable!
Two of her former bosses, CBS Evening News executive producers Jim Murphy and Rick Kaplan, called her a pit bull.
That was when Sharyl was being nice.
Now that shes no longer on the CBS payroll, this pit bull is off the leash and tearing flesh off the behinds of senior media and government officials. In her new memoir/exposé Stonewalled: My Fight for Truth Against the Forces of Obstruction, Intimidation, and Harassment in Obamas Washington (Harper), Attkisson unloads on her colleagues in big-time TV news for their cowardice and cheerleading for the Obama administration while unmasking the corruption, misdirection and outright lying of todays Washington political machine.
