Deranged Rhino Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Her negotiating her way out of her contract leads me to believe that she likely has a non-compete clause which will limit her television options for a short while. I'm guessing she writes a book, and goes on the speaking circut. Good call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Jim Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 wasn't Bernard Goldberg's book 'Bias' about his time at CBS news? Hers appears to be a little different and one that could be an interesting read. From the article: She is currently at work on a book — tentatively titled “Stonewalled: One Reporter’s Fight for Truth in Obama’s Washington” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koko78 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I have an issue with someone all of a sudden having principles at a job where they've worked for 20 years. Her position simply "evolved". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdnlng Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 She started catching schit from CBS executives during her "Fast and Furious " investigative reporting and into her Benghazi reporting. It didn't start 20 years ago, so referencing her 20 year relationship with CBS is meaningless. As far as where she eventually ends up tells us where she thinks she can work as a fair and balanced journalist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim in Anchorage Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 So you've sat in on all her meetings with management over the past 20 years? !@#$ing awesome.

Deranged Rhino Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I find it remarkable that you can't grasp that the place you started working at 20 years ago is not the same today. I find it remarkable that you can claim to know Chef's place of work and its inner workings well enough to comment on it. Let alone CBS news.

3rdnlng Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) So you've sat in on all her meetings with management over the past 20 years? !@#$ing awesome. Why would I have to be in her meetings with management over the last 20 years? Per the snippet fom the OP's link below she has felt stymied by CBS since 2009. Haven't we all (except Gator who is bored with all the much ado about nothing, or humored by the Benghazi deaths) been disgusted by the numerous coverups and lies? "But Attkisson had become a polarizing figure at the network, sources there said. While some championed her relentless dedication to investigations — ranging from defective Firestone tires to the Fast and Furious gun-walking scandal — others saw evidence of a political agenda, particularly against President Barack Obama. (The bulk of Attkisson’s work since 2009 has focused on the failures or perceived failures of the Obama administration, including its failed green-energy investments and the attack in Benghazi, though she has reported on several Republican failures as well.) Others have suggested that CBS News itself was politically biased: “It’s no secret that Sharyl has been unhappy about CBS’s lack of interest in investigative reporting, especially when it comes to stories about the Obama administration,” a source close to Attkisson said. Attkisson’s frustrations aside, the network maintains a dedicated investigative unit, which produces packages that appear across CBS News programming".

Let alone CBS news. I don't claim to know anything about anyone's workplace. I do know it can change over time. Or you still tuning in to PBS to catch Juan Williams?

3rdnlng Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 You're sliding into gator country here. What don't you understand? CBS was busting her balls about digging into Obama's f-ups and subsequent coverups. She wanted out because she wasn't allowed to do her job.

3rdnlng Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Link? See I can play that stupid "link" card too. Now you are playing the "dick" card. This is just one of the many articles you will find referring to her displeasure and the reasons why: http://www.humanevents.com/2014/03/11/sharyl-attkisson-resigns-from-cbs-news/ To the surprise of her fans and admirers – but not, evidently, to anyone familiar with the behind-the-scenes drama at CBS News – reporter Sharyl Attkisson resigned her position on Monday. Attkisson is one of the few journalists who has done real investigative work that makes the government uncomfortable over the past few years. Beginning in 2009, most of her peers suddenly deciding that what the Administration says should be taken at face value and repeated uncritically, for reasons that remain utterly mysterious. Perhaps future historians will use the awesome power of their super-advanced computers to sift through contemporaneous records and figure out what, exactly, might have changed in 2009 that put investigative journalism on ice. Another thing that changed in 2009 was the amount of air time Attkisson enjoyed at CBS News. Before that, she was a top-20 network correspondent with 145 to 160 minutes of air time per year. By last year she was barely top-100 with 54 minutes of airtime, and even that was a slight uptick from the mere 36 minutes she received in 2012.

Chef Jim Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Now you are playing the "dick" card. Is there something special you'd prefer we call it when you play it or can we refer to it as the "dick" card then too? So she's had issues since 2009. What about the other 15 years she was there. Were you privy to her relationship with upper management then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I call for a link when someone is making a specific claim usually involving numbers. There was already a link in this thread that was not contrary to any statement I made here. I've never been "privy" to her relationship with upper management. What I know on the subject is what I've read for nearly a year now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
