It is what you expect. This lady is a self serving opportunist. You will quickly understand the agenda-driven fear seedlings. Be smarter.

Excellent expose on Media's agenda driven censorship. Atkinson shares first hand accounts of the censorship and propaganda perpetuated by those in charge of the news reports we all see and hear. Clearly history has been changed (manipulated) because of the lack of honest, in-depth reporting. Read this book for the inside look at America's 'dept of information'.

Fascinating book. Sharyl Attkisson's book, "Stonewalled" allows the reader to get an inside look at network "journalism" today; in short, her observations and experiences portray a broken system where personal bias and opinion is being substituted for legitimate news. Beyond her experiences with CBS News, Attkisson's also brings to light allegations that her computers were tampered with by government agents. This book is definitely worth reading and will make readers question the "news" that networks are providing to the American public.

Bone Chilling. This is a refreshing, non-partisan expose of the corruption that has seeped into America's newsrooms. CBS learned nothing from 'Rathergate' and has become nothing more than a propaganda outlet for our fallacious and self proclaimed 'most transparent' president ever. Let's hope someone will clean house and bring in journalists with a passion for the truth, rather than an agenda. Thankfully, Attkisson is one reporter that follows a story regardless of where it leads! As an honest, tell it like it is investigative reporter she is a rarity today. This is a must read for anyone the prefers truth and wants to know how mainstream media intentionally fails to deliver it!

Stonewalled. Sheryl does an excellent job of relating how the government got into her personal and business life attempting to control what she was trying to tell the public about our government. Some of this stuff reads like a suspense novel. I got chills up my spine reading what was going on in her own house.

Mind blowing. This book makes me want to jump into the cause, think of better solutions, and investigate more into the stories I read everyday. Being 17 years old, I still have my future ahead of me, and this book is helping my realize what role I could play in the government. An eyeopening read.

Stonewalled. Well presented and authoritative read. Confirms to me that very few maybe even one person can corrupt the entire federal government. A liberal media can allow it to continue with impunity.

Left me wanting more!. The media are sometimes called the fourth branch of government. After reading this excellently-written book, I now know why--they are, for the most part, as dishonest and corrupt as the executive and congressional branches they cover. And, like the executive and legislative branches, they don't like honest people who aren't willing to go along with them and play the Washington game (wearing blue uniforms of course)--the people be damned. We need more journalists like Ms. Attkisson. She's renewed my faith in journalism. Must read book!

The breakdown of the independence of the press.. This book is an obvious goldmine for conservatives; not only are top 5 scandals of the Obama administration covered in this book, Sharyl discusses how journalism's independence withered under the relentless pressures of the government, big business, and even influential political groups (eg, media matters). The book reminds me of "Bias" by Bernard Goldberg nearly a decade earlier, that author unfortunately also a former member of CBS News. In my opinion the chapters of the book, despite being captivating, are quite long, with a notable error about Doug Parker being the CEO of American prior to the merger (he was the CEO of us airways prior to the merger). Despite in several chapters playing a substitution game (where she posits that the target of the story was a political figure of opposite ideology), I felt she maintained a relatively neutral viewpoint, which is a pleasant change of pace from the rest of published journalism. I would have loved to read about her vision of how journalism regains its independence, the rise of pseudo journalistic organizations (a broad term for organizations that distort or harm the independent news gathering function of the press), the consolidation of the industry (Reuters, associated press), and influence of partisan blogging (both sides of the aisle). Never before has an independent and free press been so critical to the nation, and this book is start on restoring that role.

Shocked. I'm shocked, shocked to find out that gambling is going on here...This book is interesting only in the fact that a longtime (20 years) CBS investigative journalist gets thrown under the bus and vilified by her own colleagues at the bequest of the Obama administration and their cronies after poking around where it's not safe to poke around inside the beltway. The fact that Ben Rhodes is Obama's Senior personal advisor and his brother is the president of CBS News should clearly indicate that anything coming from CBS criticizing Obama or his minions is a no-no. The stories she tries to get on the air are old news to the right, and she dramatically makes them look like a new Watergate scandal is in the making. Unfortunately, for Ms. Atkinson, her reporting strikes a sensitive nerve at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue she found out it's not good to poop off the same pier that one fishes on...

New Birth of Freedom. After 6 years of witnessing fawning news coverage by most news organizations, we owe a great debt to Sharyl for having the courage to stand by her principles. In our constitutional republic, the worst thing you can be called is a "political hack". Our founders brilliantly formed our government to guarantee direct involvement by our citizens. A free press was (and is) a powerful force to raise righteous criticism against our elected leaders. As so-called "progressive" movements have sporadically extended the power of the state (to the detriment of the people), the criticism by the press has slowly been silenced. Sharyl has exposed a nefarious development in journalism, where our government leaders have, in cooperation with some news outlets, willingly censored themselves, in exchange for money and access. Reading Sharyl's account felt like an Orwell novel, except it is real. We run the risk of becoming a fascist state, if we continue to witness but fail to act! We are all citizen journalists now. Speak up, write blogs, write letters to the editor. And thank you to Sharyl Atkisson!

Stonewalled. Eye opening expose on the media, the Obama administration and their shared chicanery. I will never feel safe around my laptop again. Extremely well done!

Eye opening, factual. This book is eye opening about current political history, the press, and the Obama administration. It also covers many of the administrations scandals with so much factual information it is astounding. I had little faith in today's press but after reading this book I have none at all! Thanks Sharyl for your great investigative reporting.

End of FOIA. Great job. Keeping their feet to the fire. Some one needs to look to your example of investigative journalism and stop towing the line. It sounds like you, or we have entered the realm of "1984". I pray for more investigative journalists like you. The 4th estate.

Wish it was longer!. Stories are engaging, cited, and relayed in a manner that draws you into each of them. Only critique is that when it ended…you wish there was another chapter!

Stonewalled. This was a really good book. If you are interested in the media, politics, or government then you will find this very informative. It does have some foul language. That's really the only negative to this book. Sharyl Attkisson was a CBS reporter. She is independent and fair-minded. She describes the very troubling state of affairs at the major broadcast networks and inside the federal government. Sharyl is a true journalist and a persistent watchdog who cares about our freedoms especially freedom of the press.
