Sharyl Attkisson Leaves CBS News, Liberal Bias Cited

Sharyl Attkisson, an award-winning CBS News investigative reporter who doggedly pursued the Benghazi and Fast and Furious scandals, resigned from the network yesterday. Attkisson was reportedly frustrated by CBS News’ liberal bias.

Attkisson was honored in 2012 with an Edward R. Murrow Award for her coverage of the Fast and Furious gunrunning debacle, which involved the murder of U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry. Attkisson shifted gears to cover the Benghazi terrorist attack that left four members of the U.S. diplomatic mission dead.

Politico‘s Dylan Byers reported Monday that Attkisson “had grown frustrated with what she saw as the network’s liberal bias, an outsized influence by the network’s corporate partners and a lack of dedication to investigative reporting.”

“She increasingly felt like her work was no longer supported and that it was a struggle to get her reporting on air,” Byers wrote.

Attkisson, who worked at CBS News for two decades, is writing a book tentatively titled, “Stonewalled: One Reporter’s Fight for Truth in Obama’s Washington.”

It was Attkisson’s pursuit of the truth about Obama Administration scandals that “led network executives to doubt the impartiality of her reporting,” according to Byers.

He added, “While some championed her relentless dedication to investigations — ranging from defective Firestone Tires to the Fast and Furious gunwalking scandal — others saw evidence of a political agenda, particularly against President Obama.”


Politico previously reported Attkisson’s frustration that CBS News would not air her stories on Benghazi.

The outrage; imagine someone having a political agenda against the Imperial Presidency!!! Can't have that; unless of course it is against George Bush; then anything goes!!
 
most libs don't care enough about our government obeying the law that they are all too willing to overlook these serious violations, especially in the case of a black democrat president

How about maybe she was starting to go off the rails? For starters she's wearing the anti-vaccine tinfoil hat.

THERE’S A NEW ANTI-VACCINE REPORTER IN TOWN, AND SHE’S PUSHING SOME PSEUDOSCIENCE

Unfortunately, at CBS News, there now appears to be a woman who was willing to take over the role of mainstream media propagandist for the anti-vaccine movement. Her name is Sharyl Attkisson, and, oops, she did it again just this Thursday with an article entitled Vaccines and autism: a new scientific review, in which she pimps a truly horrible “review” of the evidence base regarding whether vaccines cause or predispose to autism.
 
and the discredit movement continues. good one, libbie. does this mean that her work on fast and furious is now irrelevant? because she has beliefs about anti-vaccination?

Did you actually read my words before this knee-jerk response? Maybe she is STARTING to ignore facts in favor of her personal opinion.

I've noted that Accuracy in Media, who gave her the award for Fast and Furious, is a "Conservative watchdog group for fairness, balance and accuracy in news reporting."

Sheesh, don't even pretend that you're an equal-opportunity party basher any more.

LMAO @ propagandist. That's all CBS is. A propaganda engine for leftist policies.

CBS has been ignoring facts for decades. My favorite propaganda hit piece was when Dan Rathers pursued his fabricated hit piece on Geirge Bush's time in the National Guard.
