#1 Breitbart flashback. If I were Attkisson, I'd be consulting legal councel as well as a personal security firm.

CBS News president David Rhoades is not only the brother of President Obama's national security advisor, Ben Rhodes, but ABC News reports that Ben Rhodes was very much involved in the editing of the now-infamous CIA talking points. So

1. According to ABC News, Obama's national security advisor Ben Rhodes was deeply involved in the editing of the CIA talking points.

2. These same CIA talking points are central to what many believe is a White House coverup.

3. Ben Rhodes is the brother of CBS News president David Rhodes.

4. At CBS News, Sharyl Attkisson is one of the only mainstream media journalists with the dogged determination and moral courage to demand the truth about the White House's involvement in the CIA talking points.

5. For months now reports have surfaced that Attkisson's bosses are unhappy with her, that she has trouble getting her Libya stories on the air, and that she's being accused of engaging in "advocacy."

#2 You need to know, if you don't... Sharyl broke the story of Fast and Furious --- it was Sharyl, that the "guys who knew" went to with the information with the details of the going-ons...

Kept on the details, she did.

Added the depth to the 60-minutes Benghazi report that CBS later retracted....

Bet that was when the negotiations began....

Watch for her -- she needs to make a living.... "she saw as the network's liberal bias" ---

#3 Attkisson's reporting on the B.O. regime, which some staffers characterized as agenda-driven, had led network executives to doubt the impartiality of her reporting.

Translation: unlike the rest of the media, she was not on her knees actively engaged in Obamellatio.

#4 And corporate will never be concerned about dropping viewership of their news division. If and when the day comes, the 1 percenters who own and operate these corporations may discover that little know phrase 'fiduciary responsibility' has a bite that gives their enemies the tool for incredible payback.

#5 Yes, P2k. But in my house we'd just switched to CBS because ABC and Diane Sawyer pissed me off so bad I couldn't watch without screaming at the TV. Then the other night I tried watching a BBC newscast. Ack! Guess I'll have to go back out on the patio and enjoy my beverage there. At least with daylight savings it's still light out there and the little birdies are chirping in the trees.

#7 A good reporter who did a good job of digging out stories. There's very little of that done anymore.
