Since her departure from CBS News in 2014, Sharyl Attkisson has been everywhere. Including Fox News’s Sunday show “MediaBuzz.” Including a publication funded by the Heritage Foundation. Including a book titled “Stonewalled” that takes to task the Obama administration for information-stinginess. Including various interviews with media outlets interested in her allegations that she was hacked by the government following her reporting on the “Fast and Furious” gun-interdiction program and Benghazi.
Now this: Sinclair Broadcast Group is announcing that Attkisson will host a national Sunday morning program providing “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,” Sinclair Vice President of News Scott Livingston said in a release. “Our goal is to provide the context and perspective on major issues impacting our viewers. Sharyl has a proven track record of exposing the truth behind stories that other news organizations shy away from.”
Sinclair, based in suburban Baltimore, “owns and operates, programs or provides sales services to 162 television stations in 79 markets,” according to its Web site. Prior to hiring Attkisson to this post, it had used her work on a freelance basis. Based in Washington, the program will debut this fall and will be carried on the company’s ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox affiliates. (Those affiliates include Washington’s ABC station, WJLA).

Awesome.
Finally someone who isn’t a panderer to either a political group or the administration. Put it out there and see where it takes us. Even Fox is getting very disappointing recently. To be fair and balanced, they must be as critical to both sides of an issue, not a Gotcha
Sinclair had good gasoline too.
Where in the world can you find Sinclair Broadcasting?
If an excellent reporter airs where no one is listening, does she make a difference?
Sinclair owns at least 100 TV stations, all over the country.

none in the DFW area unfortunately and they aren’t on the local cable systems either. Too bad.
Sinclair owns and operates 162 stations in 79 markets, including WJLA in DC and WBFF in Baltimore, and provides programming services to many stations.
