Sharyl Attkisson (born 26 January 1961) is an American commentator and former investigative reporter for CBS News. After twenty-one years with that network, she resigned on March 10, 2014,[1] this after CBS refused to take seriously certain conclusions she had reached in her reporting on the Benghazi massacre.
Bosnian sniper fire
Attkisson accompanied Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to Bosnia for CBS and provided the video to refute Clinton's claim she landed under sniper fire.[2]
Operation Fast and Furious
Attkisson reported that during a Congressional hearing on Operation Fast and Furious], ATF Special Agent Bill Newell told Congress he discussed approval of the case with a White House National Security staffer as early as September 2010.[3]
Benghazi massacre
Attkisson told Steve Bannon of Breitbart,
- I think this was a textbook case of a narrative being managed. There were all kinds of sporadic investigations that weren’t allowed to do a complete job along the way. The media was waiting around to hear whatever the spin was from whomever rather than do their own investigations. Remember, a lot of this evidence that was spun as partisan came from insiders in the Obama administration — Democrats, who supported Hillary Clinton…. These were very good sources that were turning evidence and giving testimony, but this was successfully spun by a lot of powers and with the media’s help as purely partisan.[4]
Obamagate hacking
- Main article: Obamagate
On October 31, 2014, she revealed to the world videographic evidence[5] that some person or persons unknown installed keylogging and remote-access software and used it to interfere with her work and compromise several sensitive personal passwords. Worse yet, someone tampered with the router that provides her with high-speed Internet service.[6][7]
In her Best Seller, Stonewalled: One Reporter's Fight for Truth Against the Forces of Obstruction, Intimidation, and Harassment in Obama's Washington,[8] Attkisson tells how her work and personal computers had been hacked for more than two years after she began filing stories about the Benghazi massacre.[9] CBS News investigated and found evidence of multiple unauthorized accesses by a third party in late 2012.[10] The hackers were identified by experts as a US Government intelligence agency.[11] In March 2015, Attkisson and her family initiated suit against Eric Holder, Patrick R. Donahoe and unnamed agents of the US Department of Justice, the US Postal Service and the United States claiming to have been subjected to illegal surveillance activities.[12][13]
