Costello: Media In Bed With Obama

What does it say about the mainstream news media culture when a multiple award-winning journalist like Sharyl Attkisson, who has spent the last seven months as a voice in the wilderness, finds herself in peril of losing her job?

Her network broadcasted little of her work and relegated her reporting to its website/ Michael Costello , Lewiston Tribune. More here.
