Sharyl Attkisson: CBS, Other Outlets Too ‘Shy’ To Challenge Obama Admin.

She was being kind by saying “Shy”. She also said that she was always encouraged to pursue any investigation against the Bush Administration, but told to back off Obama Administration investigations. The MSM is in Barry's back pocket, this we all know anyway.

Former CBS investigative reporter Sharyl Attkisson on Sunday discussed why she left CBS News last month and said that news outlets have become less interested in investigative reports that challenge government and corporate interests.

“I think that’s part of a broader trend that’s happening, not just at CBS. But there seems to be, the last couple of years, much less interest in what I call original and investigative in-depth reporting,” she said on Fox News’ “Media Buzz.”. “There seems to be a visceral reaction to doing stories that could ruffle feathers, whether it’s certain people in the political spectrum or even corporate interests.”

“The press in general seems to be very shy about challenging the administration,” she continued.

Attkisson said that by the time she left, her decision was easy because she had nothing left to do with few of her stories making it on air. She said that under the Obama administration particularly, she experienced a lot of pushback on stories from the White House.

“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. 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?”

I wonder if they are worried about Barry's regime using tapped phone records as blackmail or they are so invested in the ideology that they will let anything slide. Maybe some of both.

The Obama regime has pursued its enemies. The liberal attack dog machine is well oiled. We see the effect of the Journ-a-list spreading the liberal talking points. No matter if they are lies. Far better, if they are lies. We se it here, on our own board, how infected liberals are.

I think Hitler, Stalin, and every dictator in the world does the same thing? No? Suppress the MSM. But how much suppressing can one make when most MSM is in their pocket. I say not too much.
