SHARYL ATTKISSON ASKS LIBYA QUESTIONS THE MEDIA WON'T

Today while almost all the media was gushing over outgoing Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's theatrical and less than forthcoming Senate testimony about events in Libya, CBS News' investigative reporter Sharyl Attkisson tweeted out a penetrating series of unanswered questions that both the White House and its media minions will ensure are never answered. - John Nolte/Breitbart

One honest reporter isn't enough, unfortunately. Until the media as a whole makes the White House pay a political price for remaining silent, the White House will continue to remain silent. But in our present media atmosphere where 98% of so-called journalists in this country see it as their job to protect the White House from having to answer these questions, it's just never going to happen.

That doesn't mean, though, that we shouldn't recognize, appreciate, and encourage Attkisson's fine reporting.
