In a sane world, Sharyl Attkisson would be recognized with the highest commendations in journalism—the Peabody, the Pulitzer
Appearing at number five this week on the New York Times’ bestseller list is Sharyl Attkisson’s much anticipated debut “Stonewalled,” the tale of a renegade reporter who was forced out of her job at CBS because of a supposed “anti-Obama bias.”
ht/ just the tip
Dan Rather
Wrong, Tim.
Dan got canned for promoting FAKE DOCUMENTS.
Promoting FAKE DOCUMENTS was NOT an anti-Bush bias?
Tim is correct
Dan Rather was not fired for having an anti-Bush bias; he was allowed to broadcast his nonsense because almost everyone at CBS had (and still has) an anti-Bush bias. The reason he was let go was that even the Bush-hating suits at the network couldn’t overlook the foolishness of his using such obviously false “evidence.”
The Czar is correct.
Davy – Rather’s anti-Bush bias may have led to him scraping the bottom of the barrel to find fake documents to undermine Bush, but he was canned because of his unprofessional actions, not his bias.
Some say BJ Clinton was impeached because of his affair with Monica, but he was impeached because of his perjury and his obstruction of justice.
The media love to twist things and then it becomes “the truth” – not unlike Hands up/Don’t shoot.
And then there’s Bob Woodward, who has won every “journolism” award in the book, as well as having made a fortune writing bestsellers.
Nobody would have ever heard of him if it hadn’t been for “Watergate”, which was a mediocre affair at best.

Attkisson was fired because they found out her name was not Asskisson.
Said eloquently, lulu.
What part of the fact the republicoms and the commiecrats are working together and are in agreement don’t people get yet?
It’s kind of too bad, actually, that the conservative base of the Dead Elephant Party doesn’t have more of an anti-Bush bias… Rather a pity, after seeing how much Obola has enjoyed virtually ALL of Dubya’s programs, and has used them to his advantage in ending America. It is too bad his Papa, “’41” lied (“Read My Lips, no new taxes”), and his brother wants to end work for several MORE MILLION actual citizens of the USA, and how both ’41’s and ’43’s wives were pro-baby killing.
Rather a pity…
let’s get the train back on the rails after the derail above.
I just finished reading Sharyl Atkisson’s book last week. Words like “brilliant”, “genius”, “Nobel-worthy”, “Pulitzer-worthy” don’t begin to do justice to her.
Sharyl Atkisson is that rarest of gems – a TRUE Journalist who will follow a story wherever it takes her. To her, it doesnt matter if the conclusion reflects badly on Republicans OR Democrats, so long as the truth is told and the story gets out there.
