Attkisson: The Obama Administration Aggressively Intimidated and Intentionally Misled Journalists: Sunday on Fox News Channel's "Media Buzz," former CBS investigative reporter Sharyl Attkisson laid out the way the Obama administration harassed reporters and successfully stopped her network CBS from covering controversial stories...
"Now there’ve always been tensions, there have always been calls from the White House under any administration I assume, when they don’t like a particular story," she said. "But it is particularly aggressive under the Obama administration and I think it’s a campaign that’s very well organized, that’s designed to have sort of a chilling effect and to some degree has been somewhat successful in getting broadcast producers who don’t really want to deal with the headache of it — why put on these controversial stories that we’re going to have to fight people on, when we can fill the broadcast with other perfectly decent stories that don’t ruffle the same feathers?"
"It borders on inappropriate if it is part of a campaign to stop, influence and manipulate the reporting."
