This is the same Sharyl Attkisson who broke other FF storeys on CBS (internet only).  They should have fired her long ago. She is obviously a traitor to the MSM cause.

Personally, I think CBS is covering their ass for when the shit hits the fan.  Oh yeah, we have been reporting on this since back in the day.
