Sharyl Attkisson Reportedly Leaving CBS News
— JohnE.

Sharyl Attkisson, the Emmy award-winning investigative reporter, is in talks to leave CBS News ahead of contract, POLITICO has learned.
Sources familiar with the situation cite disputes between Attkisson and network executives, including CBS Evening News executive producer Patricia Shevlin, as the cause for the talks, though the specific issues could not be confirmed.

Sources cite "disputes with network executives". No kidding. Why, I couldn't possibly imagine what these "specific issues" might be.

Just for fun, let's take a look at Sharyl's recent highlight reel of investigative journalism.

She took the lead on investigating the Fast & Furious scandal while the rest of the media including her own network, were seemingly uninterested. She was even screamed at by a White House spokesman over her coverage of the story.

She excoriated both the Administration and Hillary Clinton herself over the Benghazi stonewalling. This is something she continues to pursue, while again, the media has lost interest.

Patricia Shevlin, named above as clashing with Attkisson, of course worked for nearly a decade with Dan Rather on CBS's Evening News. I bring that up because I feel like it.

But, this is just me being cynical again. I'm sure this was probably about inaccurate expense reports or something.

4 Network news division fires reporter for actually reporting. Atkisson is the only real journalist left from the big 3. Surprised it took them this long to oust her. Thought for sure she was going to wind up in Tahrir Square or the Aleutians.

31 GOD DAMMIT. This is one of the few reporters for a big network that is worth a damn. And her commitment to following stories the rest of the MSM was determined to bury got her booted. you know what her Twitter page says in her bio? Investigative Journalist. Dreaming of a day when public officials answer questions as if they know they work for the public. As she just found out, eventually CBS news execs will find a way to remind you that CBS News works for the Democratic party.

That's a terrible shame. Sharyl Attkisson was proof real journalists still existed. I admire her courage and integrity--and yes, it takes both when someone from the freaking White House is shouting at you over the phone.

By the way, it looks like the MSM is dropping the mask entirely now. Its almost ostentatious nonreporting of stories such as Fast and Furious, Benghazi, and the Gosnell murders seems almost like an assurance to Obama, Hillary and the Democratic Party that they're finally all in now. All nonbelievers have been purged. No more holding back.

45 I would not take this story to the bank. First off it is Politico which hasn't exactly been trustworthy in the past. Second off does anyone really think that a reporter can carry programs that the producer doesn't like or support?

I doubt he's under much pressure. For one thing, he knows where too many bodies are burried. For another, he's a dedicated lefty with his head up the SCOAMF's rectum, too. Any spats they have will be highly transient.

65 Second off does anyone really think that a reporter can carry programs that the producer doesn't like or support?

Obviously, outsiders have no way of knowing exactly what's going on in CBS. Even so, I could certainly see how a reporter could shame a producer into airing stories that the producer would prefer not to air for political reasons. At least for a while.

Nobody likes being confronted with their own intellectual dishonesty. Concessions might come first but if the reporter persists, the trap door eventually swings open.

66 Second off does anyone really think that a reporter can carry programs that the producer doesn't like or support? Posted by: Vic at April 12, 2013 05:31 PM (53z96) First of all, this is not the producer she was working with on FF and Benghazi. Secondly, friction between her and her previous producer and the network has already been noted repeatedly. So, while it's always good to have multiple sources, this is not unexpected and it's congruent with previous reports. Others are covering it but I'm not sure what all their sources are.

I mean where can she go that she will have credibility but fox, she is preaching to the choir there.

Of course IF she goes to a place as Fox will keep a cash flow, and perhaps allow her full _____ (went blank) with her researching and that's alright.

69 Second off does anyone really think that a reporter can carry programs that the producer doesn't like or support? Posted by: Vic at April 12, 2013 05:31 PM (53z96) Right. And, that is why it is a bit unfair to attack Tapper so harshly. And, it might be why he is so thin-skinned as some have called it. It can't be easy even slightly wanting to go against the grain on these networks, or in these ultra left leaning papers. Tapper was given 5 minutes to cover Gosnell. He may have more power if his popularity grows, but he just started with CNN. I doubt they would give him that much leeway right away. The times we saw him ask - at least less soft questions, were in press conferences.

80 How about news director/reporter at a big 3 affiliate in a decent sized city. Kansas City or someplace that size. When it comes to the national news portion of the shows in Topeka, all they do is repeat what the major network said. If what really mattered was reported in a city that size it might spread out across the country by word of mouth. Eventually put pressure on the networks from us plebes to cover the stories too.

Still, i think it's a relevant piece of information, and something that makes me think it probably comes more from him than from his bosses...

98 I want more news babes on Fox anyway. Just give my the Kraut and a hot blonde and that's all I really need. She doesn't actually have to be blonde. I'll take a hot young brunette. The Kraut and the hot young newsbabe are required though. Hair color isn't important. Kraut + young chick = winner.

FOX News gives no shit about journalism and truth.

They care about ratings.

Posted by: soothsayer at April 12, 2013 05:47 PM (C0ttM)

Brett Baer's coverage of Benghazi was premier journalism, imo.

And, of course they care about ratings. It's a business, not a non-profit.

That said, I am regularly frustrated by Fox, for not being as conservative as I would like.

But they're still a hundred times better than any of the other tv news sources.

If people really cared about the truth, Glenn Beck would be #1 in ratings.

Despite his rather odd sense of humor, he's surprisingly correct on a lot of things, and was well in advance of supporting evidence. Time has borne out many of his predictions and warnings. Almost too many, IYKWIM.

That the Left singled him out early for their emsmearening says a lot.

RushBabe,

I think Catherine Herridge is still with Fox...as their Homeland Security Correspondent.

Saw her on air yesterday, or maybe the day before.

189 If Beck is smart he'll snap her up. At least there she can be a journalist.

190 Haven't seen much elsewhere about Sharyl A. leaving. She is good stuff -- solid, persistent investigative reporter. Hope she surfaces somewhere good.

191 But she hasn't done any news coverage of the terrible secret of space. That secret remains safe. GRAY ALIEN ANAL PROBES!

192 Too bad. One of the few reporters left in MSM is leaving.

She is fearless.

194 How do we contact her? To support her? Her investigative reporting reminds me of the great Kimberly Strassel at the WSJ. Taking on the stories that no one else will touch. Strassel got rewarded by FNC (although she should have a much more prominent role on the news side, a la Brit Hume, along with her gig at the WSJ), so why not Attkisson at those same two venues?

195 Sharyl and The Pantsuit in a cage match.

Sharyl is a 2nd degree Black Belt - I'll go with her in that one.

Sources cite "disputes with network executives". No kidding. Why, I couldn't possibly imagine what these "specific issues" might be.

Counter-revolutionary tendencies? Being a running dog of the capitalist imperialists? Failing to follow the Party line? Being a loyal American? But I repeat myself.

197 Sharyl, head to Fox

198 Sharyl is a libelist. She shamelessly defamed a mid-level government procurement clerk. Failing upward. The wingnut welfare way.

199 Was Sharyl at the Weiner presser where Tony yelled at the CNN reporter?

200 Excuse, but you so-called journalists, get a spine and at least cover Benghazi. The shame be upon you my cowardly friends!
