Stonewalled: Sharyl Attkisson’s Fight for the Truth

Subscribe to 3 Whisky Happy HourSubscribe

Power Line is back for an in-depth interview with former CBS reporter Sharyl Attkisson to discuss how she found out the Obama Administration was spying on her while she was investigating several scandals throughout the government. Attkisson also gives the show some breaking news about a new lawsuit she's filing against the government over illegal wire taps.

Stonewalled

Her book, Stonewalled: My Fight for Truth Against the Forces of Obstruction, Intimidation, and Harassment in Obama's Washington, outlines the scandals she was covering, as well as the many ways the government was spying on her, and how she became the target of PR warfare from organizations that are friendly with the Obama Administration, such as Media Matters. It's a powerful book and an enlightening interview that will probably leave you even more concerned with the state of American mainstream media.

    Well done.

    Ricochet podcast #51 "Pump the Baseline" was so good that I had to join. That was January 2011, John Boehner cried his way to the Speaker of the house.

    Though I still cannot compose coherent comments, I'm renewing my membership to support podcasts like this one. (Also I give the editors fits as I violate the coc often.) If Boehner is going to cry while legislating, I'm often going to curse.
