Attkisson: If I Let the Left Influence All My Reporting, I’d Only Cover the Weather

Attkisson: If I Let the Left Influence All My Reporting, I’d Only Cover Weather (Washington Free Beacon)

Former CBS reporter Sharyl Attkisson quipped Monday on Fox and Friendsthat if she let all the left-wing blogs and media voices influence her reporting, all she’d have left to cover would be the weather.

“I basically am trying to keep my nose to the grindstone, and if I were influenced by the left-wing blogs and the people who are trying to steer public opinion a certain way, I would be left covering pretty much nothing but the weather now,” she said. “I’m still continuing to do what I see as my job.”

Attkisson has come under fire from liberal groups like “Media Matters for America” for her reporting on the Benghazi terrorist attack and the White House’s controversial political response. Former Obama administration members David Plouffe and Van Jones attacked Republicans for pursuing Benghazi on This Week Sunday, calling it politicized and blaming Fox News for keeping the story alive.
