Title: Freed from CBS, Sharyl Attkisson Launches Website Exposing Obama Scandals

Former CBS reporter Sharyl Attkisson, who resigned from the network earlier this month, has wasted no time in her pursuit of the truth with the launch of her new website.

The website, featuring the tagline “Untouchable Subjects.  Fearless Reporting,” is designed to educate visitors about her past reporting on stories relating to the Fast and Furious scandal, Benghazi, Healthcare.gov and other topics she has covered during her career at CBS. It isn’t clear, however, whether or not she will be adding new material to the site.

Attkisson, who received Accuracy in Media’s Reed Irvine Award for Investigative Journalism in 2012 to honor her “outstanding contributions to journalism,” often swam against the mainstream media tide. Now that she has been freed from her network shackles, she is sure to be an even larger thorn in the side of the Obama administration.

That is one sure way to render her meaningless to a large part of America. The left has successfully categorized Fox as garbage, (Fox has helped with their food fight style interviews). Even moderates roll their eyes when you cite Fox as a source.

But, Ms. Attkisson needs to make a living. So, if she has to do it at Fox, I don't object. I just know, once she is employed by Fox she will be ignored, and considered dead by the msm.

I heard yesterday that it is her intention to go it alone, she doesn't want any corporate forces (of any type) to have any influence on her reporting.  She wants to be a truly independent investigative journalist.

I'm thinking that she would fit right in with BREITBART.

Think about it, that organization is growing like crazy and they make FNS look tame in comparison.

Can't say that I blame her after her experience with SeeBS
