Sharyl Attkisson resigns from CBS News - POLITICO.com

Sharyl Attkisson resigns from CBS News - POLITICO.com:

By DYLAN BYERS | 3/10/14 http://www.politico.com/blogs/media/2014/03/sharyl-attkisson-to-leave-cbs-news-184836.html?hp=f3

CBS News investigative correspondent Sharyl Attkisson has reached an agreement to resign from CBS News ahead of contract, bringing an end to months of hard-fought negotiations, sources familiar with her departure told POLITICO on Monday.

Attkisson, who has been with CBS News for two decades, had grown frustrated with what she saw as the network’s liberal bias, an outsize influence by the network’s corporate partners and a lack of dedication to investigative reporting, several sources said. She increasingly felt that her work was no longer supported and that it was a struggle to get her reporting on air.
At the same time, Attkisson’s reporting on the Obama administration, which some staffers characterized as agenda-driven, had led network executives to doubt the impartiality of her reporting. She is currently at work on a book — tentatively titled “Stonewalled: One Reporter’s Fight for Truth in Obama’s Washington” — that addresses the challenges of reporting critically on the administration.

Sharyl Attkisson Resigns From CBS News (Politico / Dylan Byers on Media) 

CBS News investigative correspondent Sharyl Attkisson has reached an agreement to resign from CBS News ahead of contract, bringing an end to months of hard-fought negotiations, sources said. Attkisson, who has been with CBS News for two decades, had grown frustrated with what she saw as the network's liberal bias, an outsized influence by the network's corporate partners and a lack of dedication to investigative reporting, several sources said. She increasingly felt like her work was no longer supported and that it was a struggle to get her reporting on air.


 The Washington Post / Erik Wemple Rumors of Attkisson's stormy relations with her superiors at CBS News have made the rounds for months. In conversations from last year, CBS News sources said that Attkisson was frustrated that more of her reporting on Benghazi and other investigative pieces didn't make The CBS Evening News with greater frequency.

HuffPost The Emmy-winning reporter also made headlines in 2013 after CBS News confirmed that her computers had been hacked. Attkisson had suggested that "there could be some relationship" between the suspicious activity and the government's probes into the Associated Press and Fox News' James Rosen.

The Department of Justice denied that possibility, and the network also addressed it in a statement in August, saying, "To be clear, the federal government has not been accused in the intrusion of Attkisson's computer; CBS News is continuing to work to identify the responsible party."

 The Washington Times Attkisson began negotiating with CBS News president David Rhodes as early as last April about getting out of her contract. She announced her resignation to her 41,000 Twitter followers Monday with the simple message: "I have resigned from CBS." TVNewser Attkisson, a Washington-based investigative correspondent, called her time at CBS News "one of life's great privileges" and said she is "grateful for the many opportunities I've had."

CBS Discredits Steele and DeMint on ObamaCare as 'Harsh' and 'Incendiary,' Couric Hails Kennedy

For the second weekday in a row, Katie Couric teased the CBS Evening News on Monday night by delivering President Obama's aggressive retorts to critics of his health plan as reporter Chip Reid pitched in to help, discrediting critics by disparaging their perspectives as "harsh" and "incendiary" attacks -- all before Couric caught up with ABC and NBC from the night before and promoted Ted Kennedy's "We're Almost There" Newsweek cover story. Couric teased: "The President takes on critics of his health care reform plan. He vows to move forward and says trying to fix a system that's breaking American families."

Nets Skip Chappaquiddick's 40th; NPR Gets 'Ugly' Mail for Even Blogging About It

While the big liberal media usually find it hard to skip any news related to the Kennedy family, ABC, CBS and NBC breathed not a word about Saturday’s 40th anniversary of Chappaquiddick, and neither did the New York Times or Washington Post.

But it wasn’t a complete blackout. With Ted Kennedy on the cover of the July 27 Newsweek to push for government health care, editor Jon Meacham examined Chappaquiddick as a great flaw, and NPR Political Editor Ken Rudin blogged about the anniversary on Friday, only to be deluged with "ugly" mail from NPR readers upset he would mention Kennedy’s scandal when "what Bush and Cheney did was much worse."

CBS Analyst: Taliban Treats Prisoners Better Than U.S.

In reaction to a propaganda video of the Taliban holding an American soldier hostage in Afghanistan, on Monday’s CBS Early Show, terrorism analyst Jere Van Dyk argued “What they [the Taliban] are saying is that ‘we can treat American soldiers, we can treat prisoners, better than Americans are treating them.’” Speaking to co-host Maggie Rodriguez about the capture of Private First Class Bowe Bergdahl, Van Dyk continued to explain his observation “There’s a story in the New York Times this morning, also in the Wall Street Journal earlier, about prisoner abuse, Americans abusing prisoners in Afghanistan. What they [the Taliban] are saying to the -- to the Afghan public is that ‘we can do a better job, do not be afraid of us in the future’” Rodriguez accepted that premise and added: “Because he’s clean, the place looks like – he’s being fed. They’re taking care of him.” Van Dyk went on: “There’s a signal there. He’s wearing nice clothes, he’s being fed, he has a cup of tea there… what they are saying is that we will protect to the death ‘a guest in our home.’” He is in someone’s home right now.” He went on to predict: “My belief is, my hope of course is, and my cautious feeling is that he will be protected. He will not be harmed.”

Dan Rather Hails Cronkite As 'Beacon' of 'Straight News'Chris Matthews, on Monday's Hardball, invited on Dan Rather to remember Walter Cronkite and the former CBS News anchor - famously fired for letting his bias spiral out of control during the George W. Bush National Guard story - called Cronkite "a straight news reporter," and claimed Cronkite advised him and others at CBS News to "Tell it straight without fear or favoritism. Pull no punches. Say it like it is, insofar as is humanly possible. Keep your own prejudices and biases and feelings and emotions out of it."
