Former CBS journalist Sharyl Attkisson in an extended interview with Fox media specialist Howard Kurtz.

The veteran reporter left CBS after a twenty year career when Obama administration pressure kept her stories from being aired.

Attkisson told host Howard Kurtz she was often pressured directly or through her supervisors to not report stories that were unfavorable to the White House.

Attkisson pointed out that while it is common for any administration to attempt to quash unfavorable stories, none have ever had the success of President Barack Obama's White House.
