The day that I told CBS News I wished to leave my job as investigative correspondent ahead of my contract, I didn’t give a reason. I didn’t see the point because the problem wasn’t fixable. Nor was it isolated to CBS News. My own take is that—as our industry has changed in ways that have […]
Sending Immigrants to Sanctuary Cities Has Consequences–and That’s a Good Thing by Sharyl Attkisson…
From a logical standpoint, the most perplexing recent political squabble has got to be over President Trump’s threat — or promise — to place illegal immigrants in sanctuary cities and states while they await processing. By way of background, both sides in the illegal immigration debate can produce studies, anecdotes and other evidence supporting their […]
Judge Faults Feds for ‘Kafkaesque’ Stance in Journalist’s Surveillance Suit…
A federal appeals court has turned down a veteran TV reporter’s bid to revive her lawsuit alleging her computers and phones were illegally hacked by the U.S. government, but one judge on the panel parted with his colleagues and denounced government lawyers for their “Kafakaesque” stance in the case. Sharyl Attkisson, an Emmy-award winning former […]
The Curators…
We’ve entered a brave, new world in the information age. Where it can be tough to know what’s real. Now there are movements to help us sort through it all— to teach our kids media literacy, to “curate” our information and cull out “fake news.” Sounds like a good idea.

Let’s Start a Conversation About the Power of the Surveillance State Holds Over ALL of Us…
Nearly two years ago, Special Counsel Mueller was named to investigate whether President Trump broke the law by somehow conspiring with Russian President Vladimir Putin to win the presidency.

I’m Suing the Government. It Has a Problem With That…
A federal appeals court recently heard oral arguments in my lawsuit against former Attorney General Eric Holder, unnamed “John Doe” federal agents at the FBI and Justice Department, and others. At issue are the intrusions into my computers while I worked as an investigative reporter for CBS News, revealed by multiple forensic investigations showing use […]

There was a great deal of news this past week about President Trump’s audacious disregard for the advice and warnings from his own intelligence community experts.

68 Media Mistakes in the Trump Era: The Definitive List…
We the media have “fact-checked” President Trump like we have fact-checked no other human being on the planet—and he’s certainly given us plenty to write about. That’s probably why it’s so easy to find lists enumerating and examining his mistakes, missteps and “lies.” But as self-appointed arbiters of truth, we’ve largely excused our own unprecedented […]
Illegal Immigrant Crime Stats: What are the Facts?…
The Vaccine Debate…
Today we investigate one of the biggest medical controversies of our time: vaccines. There’s little dispute about this much– vaccines save many lives, and rarely, they injure or kill. A special federal vaccine court has paid out billions for injuries from brain damage to death. But not for the form of brain injury we call […]
