  • An Interview with Sharyl Attkinson
    Exclusive: An interview with investigative reporter Sharyl Attkisson by Jon Rappoport April 25, 2014; www.nomorefakenews.com Before her recent resignation from CBS, Sharyl Attkisson was a mainstream news star. Multiple Emmys. CNN anchor, CBS anchor on stories about space exploration. Host of CBS’ News Up to the Minute. PBS host for Health Week. Investigative reporter for CBS. Attkisson dug deep into Fast&Furious, Benghazi, and the ill-effects of vaccines. Too deep. Her bosses shut her down and didn’t air key stories. She now has her own website, sharylattkisson.com. She is writing a book, Stonewalled: My Fight for the Truth Against the Forces of Obstruction, Intimidation and Harassment in Obama’s Washington. It’s not every day that a major mainstream journalist leaves the fold and then seeks to expose the corruption that impinged on her work. She agreed to do an email interview. Some of the questions I sent went to the heart of her book-in-progress, so she declined to answer them. However, her answers to my other questions were revealing and explosive. I know you’ve had problems with your Wikipedia page. What happened there? Long story short: there is a concreted effort by special interests who exploit Wikipedia editing privileges to control my biographical page to disparage my reporting on certain topics and skew the information. Judging from the editing, the interest(s) involved relates to the pharmaceutical/vaccine industry. I am far from alone. There is an entire Wikipedia subculture that exists to control pages and topics, and another one that watchdogs all that’s gone wrong with Wikipedia (Wikipediocracy).

  • Testimony of Sharyl Attkisson, Sinclair's Full Measure Nonpartisan
    Testimony of Sharyl Attkisson, Sinclair’s Full Measure Nonpartisan Investigative Journalist December 3, 2020 I’ve been a nonpartisan journalist for nearly 40 years in local news, CNN, CBS, PBS and the national station group Sinclair. I’ve watched a dramatic devolution in our industry as we’ve allowed ourselves to be transformed itself into tools of political and cooperate interests pushing narratives, manipulating and shaping information on the news and online, and seeking to shape public opinion rather than report facts and various views. In this media landscape, we’ve allowed some of the biggest and most important stories of our time to be covered in a fantastical and one-sided, often inaccurate and incomplete way, while important violations of law and constitutional rights go unchallenged. Tools of intelligence-gathering and law-enforcing, which are meant to protect Americans, are routinely used to instead spy on them, to gather information that isn’t the government’s business, and, in some instances, it appears, to punish or silence those with whom they disagree — personal and political foes, in and out of government. And partly because the news media has dropped the ball, they are unaccountable, operating in an extra-constitutional structure that continues from administration to administration meaning this is not a partisan issue. We have to confront the fact that our intelligence structure and some inside our federal agencies have proven more powerful than Congress, the legislative or judicial branches… have become more influential with the media... and have proven largely immune from prosecution and oversight.
