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 . . . I’ll work with more reasonable folks that follow up, I guess.”
Another White House flack, Eric Schultz, didn’t 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. You’re the only one who’s 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 she’s 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 Obama’s 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 today’s Washington political machine.

It’s too bad that real women aren’t allowed to run for President.
As usual, the media will try and destroy her, they do not like traitors. Never let the truth get in the way of the agenda.
Gutsy lady. Good for her.
People who think the news media is only in it to make money need to buy this book.
One of the last real reporters.
Bernie Goldberg made a great case against Dan Rather that was ignored until Rather proved that it was the truth. I don’t recall Bernie crowing, “ I told you so” after the fact.
I love her already. I wish her a long life, and I have preordered her book on kindle.
I hope more and more frustrated journalists join her.
Ping.
The problem is obvious.
Maybe 99% of the media are hard core Communists and love the Obamas and any other person who hates America.
They have used their considerable power to change this country into just about what they want it to be. It would be nearly impossible now to reverse the damage.
Sharyl maintains a really active Twitter feed that frequently has open chats.
Enjoyed reading the review, look forward to the book.
Yet she'll still line up and vote Dem.
Asked to do a followup story on the documents, she flatly refused, citing an ethics clause in her contract. “And if you make me, I’ll have to call my lawyer,” she said. “Nobody ever said another word” to her about reporting on the documents, which turned out to be unverifiable and probably fake.
Oh really?
“I don’t recall Bernie crowing, “ I told you so” after the fact.”
I do.
