DAMNED if you do, DAMNED if you dont! I know many of you hate the media (and I agree with lots of your complaints) -- but former CBS reporter Sharyl Atkisson does make a good point that applies to some, not all reporters. Read below what she says in the EXCERPT from her new book out today: (note she also wrote how Pres Obama got a media pass for saying there were 57 states while Gov Palin got hammered by the media for making a mistake about Kodiak Island) “I prefer not to cover political campaigns. They’re no-win assignments. You follow a candidate around the country: if you expose their flaws, you’re viewed as being politically biased against them and it jeopardizes your access. If they have a good day and you report it as such, you risk critics accusing you of being their cheerleader.” Excerpt From: Attkisson, Sharyl. “Stonewalled.” HarperCollins, 2014-11-01. iBooks.
