“Or let us,” is she implicating The White House tells CBS what stories they can or can not run, bullshit. She is trying to brag about herself,and start another conspiracy theory all at the same time,and none of it is working.

“Sharyl Attkisson on Sunday said that she had a story on terrorist social media use that predicted the way the Islamic State group disseminates its message, noting that her story was similar to comments made recently by President Obama.”

Could somebody please edit this gibberish? I have no idea what it means.

Isn’t she the same one that was fired from CBS for knowingly using false e-mails?

She seems to believe that she was on the forefront of every issue and that she has unbelievable prescience. As such, she’s going to be claiming that CBS killed her story on this of that issue of the day for the 20 freakin’ years. And the dumbasses are going to keep eating it up.

Anybody want to place bets as to when this woman enters rehab, a mental health facility, it’s discovered she’s having an affair with a high ranking Republican, or all of the above?

I bet she had a story on how ISIS was planning to behead the American journalist and how some patient would go to a Texas hospital, be sent home with \a bottle of antibiotics only to return and be diagnosed with Ebola.
But CBS killed the story. Because of Obama.

So to right wing ideologues like Attkisson, a memo sent directly to the president warning him of a threat by al queda with the shockingly straight forward title “Bin Laden determined to attack the US,” prior to 9/11 was meaningless and Bush wasn’t at fault.

… but the disjointed ramblings of social media, which is used by billions of people was full of terrorist warnings that Obama missed and it was his fault??

WTF??? How did CBS ever even employ this hack in the first place???

The venue for the complaint, i.e. Fox News, says it all!

So, I’m not really clear on Sharyl Attkisson’s vocation any more.
Is she still a reporter/journo/talking head?
Or has she reduced it to professional martyr?

There may well have been legitimate reasons for CBS to not run with this story. My guess: it’s not a particularly surprising story and there may simply not have been enough of a story there to stretch out into a full TV segment. So they use social media–where do you take the story from that point?

This woman is a victim playing lunatic. How about you got fired for being a lousy, and right wing biased hack as a journalist? There is a reason why only Fux news will allow you on the air to constantly whine. When one falls to the low level in journalism, that only Fux News will allow you to spew, then your career is basically over.

If she actually had that story, she should be able to provide evidence of its existence.
