CBS Responds to Attkisson’s Claims About Network Reporting Bias

Former CBS News reporter Sharyl Attkisson has been very vocal about how CBS pushed back on reports she did critical of the Obama administration. On CNN’s Reliable Sources Sunday, Attkisson went after both her former network and Media Matters; the former for muzzling stories and the latter for targeting her.

Attkisson has repeatedly argued that while CBS didn’t really get in her way when it came to covering issues critical of George W. Bush, bus when it came to the same with President Obama, she was called a “troublemaker” and sensed a chilling effect for journalists everywhere.

The writing is awkward and has typos. I know this isn't print media, but still... that does make it difficult to take seriously.
