Sharyl Attkisson: There’s definitely tilted news coverage. I can’t imagine any objective observer who would think otherwise. And, I tell you, I was in a room of journalists in which one of them encouraged the others quite publicly to step up and do something because he said the outcome of this election was so important. And the other thing he said led me to believe and others. He was talking about journalists stepping outside of their role to make sure Donald Trump doesn’t get elected. And he received applause for that. It’s fine for the pundits to do that but I think journalists are widely overstepping their roles.
Steve Malzberg: Obviously this was an organized event. Where were you? Can you tell us who said it?
Attkisson: It was an awards dinner for a group of journalists and I can’t remember which one of the Washington dinners in the past few months. And, you know, he received overwhelming applause… The public is much more divided you just don’t see their view represented in the news.
Malzberg: Again do you know who stepped up and said that?
Attkisson: No I don’t. I believe he was a former bureau chief.
