Spiked
By Mitch Berg
CBS has apparently gundecked Sharyl Attkisson, after she exposed the White House’s spittle-flecked response to her reporting on the media’s complicity in “Fast and Furious”, the Administration’s attempt to tie Americans’ gun rights to Mexico’s drug war:
Yesterday, CBS News investigative reporter Sharyl Attkisson told radio show host Laura Ingraham that the White House yelled and swore at her over her reporting on the Fast and Furious gunrunning scandal tied to the deaths of two U.S. law enforcement agents. Attkisson also revealed that she’d also been yelled at by the Justice Department.
Today, I called CBS News in an attempt to interview Attkisson. I was told by CBS News senior vice president of communications Sonya McNair that Attkisson would be unavailable for interviews all week. When I asked why Attkisson would be unavailable, McNair would not say.
I’ve also heard from a producer at another media outlet that has previously booked Attkisson that they tried to book her since she made news with the Laura Ingraham interview yesterday. They were also told that she would be unavailable.
And, by the way, don’t you dare call CBS biased.

Maybe CBS has ordered her to read all 25,000 Governor Palin emails that MSM sued to acquire in hopes of destroying Ms Palin.

“her to read all 25,000 Governor Palin emails that MSM sued to acquire in hopes of destroying Ms Palin.”
Funny though; they didn’t find anything. I love it when libs blow lots of money on snipe hunts!

They are like bloodhounds on a scent with Palin, but when it comes to Obama they have no desire to investigate anything he says or does, no matter how bizarrely at odds with the facts.
Obama has always said that his father left his mother when he was two years old (http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2011/06/18/weekly-address-celebrating-fathers-day), but in fact his mother moved to Seattle within a month of Obama’s birth while Obama Sr. continued his studies at UH. This is indisputable. Stanley Ann Dunham enrolled at the University of Washington & started taking classes in Sept. 1961, within a month of Obama’s birth. There are records; people remember taking classes with her.
Now this is obviously not a conspiracy. Obama is probably repeating what he has been told, but he trots out this fiction about his father leaving his mother when he was two years old again & again, and no one in the MSM ever corrects him or points out his error to their audience.
