Seasoned CBS reporter Sharyl Attkisson reveals how she has
been electronically surveilled while digging deep into the
Obama Administration and its scandals, and offers an
incisive critique of her industry and the shrinking role of
investigative journalism in today’s media. Americans are at the mercy of powerful figures in business
and government who are virtually unaccountable. The Obama
Administration in particular has broken new ground in its
monitoring of journalists, intimidation and harassment of
opposition groups, and surveillance of private citizens. Sharyl Attkisson has been a journalist for more than thirty
years. During that time she has exposed scandals and covered
controversies under both Republican and Democratic
administrations. She has also seen the opponents of
transparency go to ever greater lengths to discourage and
obstruct legitimate reporting. Attkisson herself has been subjected to “opposition
research” efforts and spin campaigns. These tactics
increased their intensity as she relentlessly pursued
stories that the Obama Administration dismissed. Stonewalled
is the story of how her news reports were met with a barrage
of PR warfare tactics, including online criticism, as well
as emails and phone calls up the network chain of command in
an effort to intimidate and discourage the next story. In Stonewalled, Attkisson recounts her personal tale,
setting it against the larger story of the decline of
investigative journalism and unbiased truth telling in
America today.
