CBS Responds To Attkisson's Allegations

Sharyl Attkisson

CBS News on Monday responded to its former employee Sharyl Attkisson’s claims that the network indirectly discouraged her from doing investigative reporting critical of the Obama administration, according to The Blaze.

Attkisson reported extensively on Benghazi and the Fast and Furious gun-walking scandal.

The ex-CBS reporter later revealed that she didn’t run into the same roadblocks while reporting on issues that hurt former President George W. Bush. She blamed a lot of the bias problems on special and corporate interests.

In response to Attkisson’s public comments, CBS News issued a statement to TVNewser:

“CBS News maintains the highest journalistic standards in what it chooses to put on the air. Those standards are applied without fear or favor.”

The spokesperson did not address Attkisson’s allegations specifically.

In a Sunday interview with Brian Stelter on “Reliable Sources,” Attkisson said it appeared that politics sometimes kept some of her stories from making it on the air.
