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.
