. >> and sharyl attkisson had her difficults increase during the obama administration. my dad has aor afib.brillation, he has the most common kind... ...it's not caused by a heart valve problem. dad, it says your afib puts you at 5 times greater risk of a stroke. that's why i take my warfarin every day. but it looks like maybe we should ask your doctor about pradaxa. in a clinical trial, pradaxa® (dabigatran etexilate mesylate)... ...was proven superior to warfarin at reducing the risk of stroke. and unlike warfarin, with no regular blood tests or dietary restrictions. hey thanks for calling my doctor. sure. pradaxa is not for people with artificial heart valves. don't stop taking pradaxa without talking to your doctor. stopping increases your risk of stroke. ask your doctor if you need to stop pradaxa before surgery or a medical or dental procedure. pradaxa can cause serious, sometimes fatal, bleeding. don't take pradaxa if you have abnormal bleeding or have had a heart valve replaced. seek immediate medical care for unexpected signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising.

lisa myers nbc news, sharyl attkisson, cbs news logged 100 hours of air-time.rds of that air time was gone. what's easier to do, howie, take a reporter, producer, technician, hire security if you're going to a dangerous part of the world, satellite uplinks and maybe come back without a story or put four or five people around the table and give opinions on news that already exists. it's a matter of profits because more corporations are in the news business. >> i'm also told it was frustration on getting investigative pieces on nbc particularly more in recent years. i don't think it can only be explained by the fact that it's more expensive. because it's controversial, as a mentioned in my interview with sharyl attkisson, there's a skirting away from this. >> if you look at michael isikoff's exit interview, it was increasingly clear they were moving in directions in which there was going to be fewer opportunities for my work, unquote. michael isikoff saw the writing on the wall. his reports simply aren't getting on the air. he had big stories that he broke. you c

returning now to part 2 of my interview with former cbs investigative reporter sharyl attkisson.he told me a story she hasn't told before. she talked about how the esteemed staff is supporting what the network connotes. she told me people don't have the stomachs for such tough, adversarial stories. she also told me of accusations that you can read on line of repeated errors in her reporting. here's what she had to say. on the flip side you've been treated harshly by some on the left who say you're having conservative bias. how do you feel when you hear that? >> i do think, again, that's a campaign by those who really want to controversialize the reporting i do so you wouldn't listen to it, because if people took the few minutes to do a google search, you would see the dozens and dozens of stories i've done which were, in many cases, complemented by liberal press as being a very good story, and i have been criticized by the conservative side in the past. it wouldn't take much for someone -- >> do you think that's what media matters is doing? media matters has been campaigning agai

that's what i want to talk about this morning, and starting with what sharyl attkisson said last weekmes whenever they see something they think is outrageous and then they try to poke holes, like in some of attkisson's. >> i certainly was friendly with them as anybody, good information can come from any source. but then when i persisted with fast and furious and some of the green energy stories i was doing, i quickly became a target -- i don't know if someone paid them to do it or they just took it on their own -- >> do you think that's possible, that someone paid them? >> they get contributions from -- >> to particularly target you? >> i think that's what some of these groups do, absolutely. >> i don't know if someone paid them to do it. that's the key quote. those comments were picked up right away by blogs last sunday. they were also rebuked right away by media matters. there was another eyebrow raising thing that attkisson said to me last week and it was this. they use it to work on stories. it triggered headlines to that effect on blogs all over the web. so what does media matter

as it per answers -- pertains specifically to sharyl attkisson.anybody gave media matters any money with instructions to rip her. she is an investigative reporter. believe me, and she is hawk ago book. if she had any evidence that somebody paid media matters to bring her down, she would be talking about it. >> all right. but i believe that george soros and his elk. it does happen on the right as you pointed out. but not nearly to the extent as it does on the left. they basically send a signal, look. you o'reilly, you get goldberg, you get limbaugh, and we'll make sure that you have a comfortable life. we'll give you tons and tons of money. but, if you then go over and start to criticize a liberal icon, you are not going to get the money. now, i think that should be true. >> that's front and center and everyone on earth should know it and that's what ms. attkisson was saying. this media matters outfit -- i have been doing this 18 years, they are the most vicious. there are a couple as vicious as they are. they're the one that drove that sylvia stor

sharyl attkisson, thank you so much.ke a reunion. >> my gosh. >> she just found out you got paid more than her for a little while. >> it didn't last long, don't worry. i'm serious. right when you make it to the top, like a bug. sharyl attkisson, thank you. we'll be right back. where castles were houses and valiant knights stood watch for the kingdom was vast and monsters lurked in the deep and the good queen showed the boy it could all be real avo: all of great britain, all in one place book on expedia before april 30th and save up to thirty percent. i dbefore i dosearch any projects on my home. i love my contractor, and i am so thankful to angie's list for bringing us together. find out why more than two million members count on angie's list. angie's list -- reviews you can trust. this and this. whip up this. munch on that. and dine out on this. that's 7 days a week. no tracking. no counting. no measuring. and you'll start losing weight right away with our 2 week simple start plan. so jumpstart your summer and join for

sharyl attkisson worked for cbs. in a while the phone would ring and it would be media matters calling up to assist her in producing her news stories. keep in mind, media matters is a george siroes funded way left of center political group. for a bona fide member of the mainstream media to be taking their assistance which is clearly propclear ly propaganda. >> sort of an independent media watch dog group. they clearly targeted me at some point. they used to work with me on stories to try to help me produce my stories. >> they are not a watch dog. they are an attack dog. >> she had stories against the bush administration for various fundraising things. she was not considered until she started doing investigations of things like benghazi and stories stopped being aired she said. >> she said now they are paying other people or reporters to discredit her. this is what media matters said. sharyl attkisson is continuing a pattern of evidence-free speculation that started at the end of her tenure at cbs. >> it doesn't say w

jessica, let me start with you, really stunning statements by sharyl attkisson here. your response? >> well, i think it is always disappointing when there's a situation in which journalists feel they can't have their true voice and honest voice that is out there, gathering information. but i think that this situation now is sort of turned into one where it seems like, you know, she, maybe had a disagreement with the producers in terms of some of her own personal stories that she wanted to have more airtime. it turned into this sort of balloon effect after story that has become one about whether the obama administration is somehow, has this ability to keep news producers from actually doing their job and i think that is very overstated. martha: well you know, she is not alone. ap did analysis and came out and said that this is the least transparent administration. that is from the associated press. bob woodward, who has a long history of a investigative reporter of course, starting with watergate, said basically the same thing and this is a reporter who in 2012 won an

but sharyl attkisson who worked at cbs -- she resigned because she couldn't do what she wanted to do,fically benghazi. ben rhodes, the president'sç assistant, his brother is president of cbs news. sharyl noted that in her blog. but jason chafits said the government tried to keep the e-mail secret because they initially had it declassified but then they classified, pwhrabgdz it out and sent -- blacked it out, sent it over and there was nothing there. >> i would say too they are brothers. lindsey graham said this is the smoking gun that points to the whiteç house's efforts to shape the story of what was going on in benghazi. >> asked about whether this call actually happened, we haven't had an answer for that either. the subject line of the e-mail in the 4 p.m. prep call with susan rice and it didn't go out to just one or two people. it went out to a dozen of the president's closest confidantes including white house spokesperson jay carney. >> lindsey graham does say it is the smoking gun. charles krauthammer says it is the smoking document. >> he also went on to say, charles, he does
