This is a very credible, well written, and insightful book concerning some very important issues.
Pre-release and other reports seem to focus on the hacking of Ms Attkisson’s computers, which some believe to be an outrageous act (perhaps by the federal government) and others don’t believe at all. After the Snowden revelations, the Clapper lies, and the Justice Department’s treatment of Rosen, Risen and AP, I would find it harder to believe that her computers weren’t spied upon, rather than that they were. After reading the book, I find the entire computer hacking issue to be a side issue that is being nitpicked by critics in an effort to discredit the author.
The real story here is the credible documentation by a seasoned insider of the control exerted by the Obama administration over CBS News. Nowhere is this demonstrated more clearly than in Ms Attkissen’s account of the extent to which CBS covered up the truth concerning a pivotal moment in the 2012 Presidential election (debate 2). After the debate, pundits everywhere were arguing about whether or not Obama called the Benghazi attacks terrorism in his Rose Garden speech on 9/12/12. While discussions continued and the media largely sided with Obama, CBS “sat on” video evidence (shot on the same day), proving that he did not call or consider the Benghazi attacks terrorism. (At least that is what Obama said in the interview with Kroft). Furthermore, after reading the book, one might conclude that the entire debate moment was orchestrated. Ms Attkissen poses the key question: “- How did the White House know CBS wouldn’t use the part of the 60 Minutes Obama interview that disproved the president’s debate claim?
There are a few things that I noticed right away after reading STONEWALLED. My impression is that the author, Sharyl Attkisson, is a very dedicated, sincere reporter. Of course, that doesn’t prove that her allegations are necessarily correct, but it does mean that they need to be taken seriously.
♣ The author has a long history of successful investigative reporting. In fact, she has been nominated for, and has won, prestigious awards for her reporting. If not for her extensive background, one might be tempted to dismiss her charges as petty payback of some sort; however, there is nothing in this book to suggest that the author is being petty in any way. Again, her long resume doesn’t necessarily mean her claims of bias are true, but her credentials make it clear that these are serious, credible charges that must be addressed in a serious way.
♣ Perhaps the most unusual–and most alarming, suggestion in STONEWALLED is that of her computers being hacked–likely by some federal organization, to delete or change information. She cites multiple, independent forensic computer experts who analyzed her business and personal computers, and agreed that a remote hacker did in fact break into her computers. These experts suggest that the hacking program was so sophisticated that it looks like something from the government.
♣ Ms Attkisson states that she had more liberty to do investigative reporting when she was investigating claims against Republican administrations. Then, she says, when she tried to do similar things against the Obama administration, she was restricted, and her stories got no traction. Her claims could be true, but this strikes me as a judgment call.
