Sharyl Attkisson, an investigative reporter who recently resigned from her post at CBS News, took shots at both her former employer and the Obama administration on Media Buzz Sunday morning, accusing CBS News of being too compliant with the White House, and the White House of overtly trying to stifle reporting. "I didn't run into that same kind of sentiment [at CBS] as I did in the Obama administration when I covered the Bush administration very aggressively," Attkisson said, adding that when CBS has a problem with a story, "It never runs. Or it dies the death of a thousand cuts, as some of us say.
