C.V.S. (“Conservative Victim Syndrome”).

What a whiny, cowardly bunch of emotional adolescents.

Teabagger hack is hacky. That fuck hack Lisa Myers is Atkisson’s teablood sister in ODS hackery. These bitter sisters have an agenda. Perhaps NPR should have disclosed that.

“There was a change in appetite for the types of stories that I often specialized in, which tend to be a lot of false Obama attack stories,” Attkisson said.

Aren’t this woman’s 15 minutes over. Who gives a rats backside about this conservative troll’s problems with CBS? Maybe, just maybe, the CBS producers and anchor didn’t want to air poorly sourced conservative hack attacks?

Ms. Attkisson, please climb down off your cross, we need the wood.

It’s always hard to pound in that last nail when one is martyring oneself.

And I come from an entirely different school of thought where I think of course we’re supposed to check those things out and look at them critically."

Since leaving CBS, Attkisson has done some reporting for The Daily Signal, an arm of the conservative Heritage Foundation. Sinclair Broadcast Group recently announced that she will join the company as a freelance investigative reporter.

LOL. That shit’s funny.

Yeah yeah we get it. CBS is the suckiest network ever. They killed your great investigative stories and wouldn’t allow you to report on the big bad Obama. You’re the bestest journalist ever. Clearly you’re the victim here and someone is monitoring your phone calls, reading your mail, feeding your cat and taking your dogs out for walks.

Now, will you please just go away?

Weak. Atkisson can do better.

At the very least she could have accused Scott Pelley of hacking into her computer.

Hmm. . .given that one of the stories that got through had to be retracted because of gross inaccuracies, CBS may have been doing her a favor.

Wonder how many ‘government watchdog’ stories she did during the Bush maladministration?

There are medications that will treat this.

Betcha dollars to donuts he didn’t have that much of a problem with her wingnut fantasies until it reached a fever pitch. Then he and Moonves dumped her like so much toxic sludge. A little ODS goes a long way. She just took it too far.

Yep. Another of my faves… hard to get that last nail in all by yourself (the other variant I sometimes use).

I pray that Scott Pelley and his family don’t have a pet rabbit. . .

I’ve got new for you, Sharyl. If Pelley killed your anti-Obama stories, then he killed ten times as many stories that would have made Obama look good.

You can be an outspoken ideologue or you can be a journalist. You can’t be both. Pick one and stick with it Atkinson, but I don’t think you’ll make it as a journalist.

The Fact that NPR saw fit to interview this shitstain is more proof of the Koch’s influence over a once reliable outfit that USED to report facts.
