Former CBS reporter Sharyl Attkisson quit her job because CBS wasn't mean enough to President Obama, so she went on a wingnut world tour in order to sell her victimhood. When that failed to get President Obama impeached for some inexplicable reason, she decided this week to aim her sights a little lower. Josh Marshall:
Sharyl Attkisson is the former CBS News reporter who left the network over what she claimed was liberal bias. After her computer was allegedly hacked by someone in late 2012 (seemingly confirmed by a network investigation) she hinted that President Obama's surveillance operativesmight be behind it. Now she says Media Matters may have been paid to go after her because of her reporting on Benghazi and other rightwing bugaboos.
I'm sorry but Attkisson has some serious temperament issues.
She has an even larger evidence issue, which is awfully strange for an investigative reporter to have. Her interview on Sunday on CNN's roundup of the news media industry, Reliable Sources, was nothing but hearsay and accusations of a massive conspiracy designed to crush any bad news for the Obama administration.
"In general, there was a pattern of more - many more stories in recent years being embraced if they were seen as being positive to government, the administration and even certain corporations, that if they were stories that were pitched that could be perceived as negative to government, administration and certain corporations."
The conspiracy theory of our time, certainly.
As I keep saying, she just needs to get a job at Fox News so she can happily hate the President with the rest of them. CBS was wise to let her go. The woman's batshit crazy.
