Sharyl Attkisson pisses off her CBS Obama-ass-kissing bosses -- again.

You go girl. CBS News Bosses Irked by Correspondent's Thorough Benghazi Reporting.

Attkisson's reporting makes Benghazi harder to pigeonhole as a right-wing conspiratorial obsession. CBS News owns a(n unjustified) platinum reputation in lefty media circles, rendering one of their correspondent's tireless work on an unhelpful subject doubly unhelpful. Thus, the suits are marginalizing her and questioning her integrity, accusing her of walking dangerously close to the activism line. Shameful.

PPP, the same pollster claiming there is a backlash to GOP members for voting against the gun bans, was horribly wrong in the SC election of Sanford. They also claimed no one could see the race for how it would happen, which slate completely destroys with the email published. PPP refuses to address the same person who contacted them.

Very fitting for them to have their face rubbed in this after being arrogant enough to retweet the GOA analysis of why their polling is wrong.; May 8, 2013 at 7:03 PM
Ashrak said...: What she's doing is actual reporting. It's actual journalism. To her detractors, this is sych a foreign concept that projection is the only criticism they can offer.

In a sense she is advicating though - she's telling the truth. Advocating honesty in a profession almost absent it.
Me thinks she leaves CBS soon and the angle on this foolishness now is to make it look like she was pushed out as biased.

I hope she understands that a large number of us nobodies out here have tall respect for her courage in what really is a hostile environment called mainstream media.; May 8, 2013 at 7:24 PM

Anonymous said...: We mostly love to complain about the left-tard reporting, yet here we have an honest Journalist who also took on the fast & furious story. I think we should all support her with emails and letters. She probably would like to hear from an audience that respects her work. She has two sources of support, her own knowledge of righteous work and feedback from those that respect both hard work and risk.

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
