- As reported by veteran newsman John Nolte, Emmy winning investigative reporter Sharyl Attkisson has had enough of CBS's liberal bias and obstruction of stories and reports unfavourable to the Obama administration and revealing of its scandals and has chosen to resign from the network.
- Arguably even more important to a democracy than a strong and effective party or parties in opposition to the government party is a free and vigilant and unbiased media aggressively and honestly and intelligently holding the administration's feet to the fire and thereby curbing some of their worst fascistic tendencies, motivating them to resolve problems and clean up scandals and, providing voters with the information needed to make an informed electoral choice in subsequent elections.
- This, regrettably, has not been the case with the American MSM in recent years, particularly since 2009 when The Messiah of The Left and Magic Negro Barack Obama took power. Mainly, the problem has been that the solid majority of MSM researchers, writers and broadcasters have been liberals first in love with Obama and even now at least in obviously biased like with the president. But increasingly too the president and his Chicago gang of thugs, mugs and slugs has worked aggressively to single out and isolate, intimidate, muzzle and marginalize those in the minority of the media who see the administration for the corrupt, incompetent, divisive and ideological disaster it quickly became and who desire to be professionals bringing the truth to the American people.
- Attkisson was one of those invaluable minority reporters. She will be greatly missed and her upcoming book about the Obama thugs' stonewalling will be greatly sought.

Although Politico received no comment from Attkisson other than the split was amicable, the left-wing outlet is reporting that Attkisson left due to the network's "liberal bias." This split is ahead of her contract. "She increasingly felt like her work was no longer supported and that it was a struggle to get her packages on television."
Politico writes that Attkisson became "a polarizing figure at the network." Some saw a political agenda in her work. Politico adds:
The bulk of Attkisson’s work since 2009 has focused on the failures or perceived failures of the Obama administration, including the administration’s failed green energy investments and the attack in Benghazi, though she has reported on several Republican failures as well.
Of course, in 2009 President Obama became president. Apparently Attkisson stuck out as an oddball to some at CBS and the rest of the media for daring to investigate power when it is held by a Democrat.
Back in May, Breitbart News reported that the President of CBS News, David Rhoades, is the brother of President Obama's National Security advisor, Ben Rhoades. According to ABC News Brother Ben was very much involved in the Benghazi scandal, specifically the infamous talking points that -- with the help of the mainstream media -- misled the nation for weeks in the heat of Obama's 2012 re-election campaign.
Attkisson distinguished herself during the Obama Administration as one of a few mainstream media reporters interested in getting to the truth of Benghazi and Fast and Furious. The rest of the media spent all of its energy attempting to protect Obama from these scandals; pushing back against critical Republicans and alternative media.
Attkisson has been with CBS since 1993 and won an Emmy for her reporting in 2002. According to Politico she is currently working on a book titled: "Stonewalled: One Reporter's Fight for Truth in Obama's Washington."
