Scott Johnson at Powerline wrote the article excerpted below, touting former CBS reporter Sharyl Attkisson’s book. I’ve read the booik and Scott is accurate in citing its importance. One would like to quote some of Ms. Attkisson’s most important points in the book but to do so is to virtually reprint her entire book. It’s all relevant, important, and, most of all, chilling. If any one doubts that Obama is Stalinesque in his approach to governance, her book goes a long way toward refuting that notion. Buy it or borrow it…but read it.
From Scott Johnson: The Attkisson file
There is a lot of meat for conservatives to chew on in former CBS News reporter Sharyl Attkisson’s memoir cum exposé Stonewalled: My Fight For Truth Against the Forces of Obstruction, Intimidation and Harassment in Obama’s Washington. It is easily one of the most important political books published last year.
One can infer from the subtitle of the book much of what Attkisson has on offer. One might not have guessed, however, that in Attkisson’s telling those “forces” in the book’s subtitle include the current head of CBS News. Attkisson adds a compelling inside/outside element to the story of her coverage of the Obama administration scandals around which the book is organized.
I have been puzzled by the dearth of attention the book has received in the conservative media, even following the filing of Attkisson’s lawsuit against the Obama administration earlier this month. In the lawsuit Attkisson and her family assert explosive claims against the Obama administration based on the monitoring of her computers as revealed in the book.
Seeking to interest readers in her story, I wrote a column on the book for NRO. My column is posted on the site this morning as “The Attkisson file.”

Now let us take an imaginary time travel trip back to the year 2005 and the Bush regime is doing this to Sharyl Attkisson…how many weeks/months/years in a row would CBS 60 Minutes lead off with these stories?
