Sharyl Attkisson is a non-partisan, American investigative journalist, television correspondent and five-time Emmy Award winner. She’s also the author of four bestsellers — Slanted: How the news media taught us to love censorship and hate journalism; The Smear: How Shady Political Operatives and Fake News Control What You See, What You Think and How You Vote; Stonewalled and her latest book Follow the Science.
Previously a correspondent in mainstream news organizations such as CNN, PBS and CBS before the news corporations became so controlled and manipulated by those wanting to control the narrative. Disillusioned, she quit the ‘big time’ and stepped into the world of independent journalism to follow facts, not the crowd. She now presents ‘The Full Measure’, specializing in fearless reporting on untouchable subjects, which reaches 43 million households in America.
Here she joins ANH founder, Rob Verkerk PhD, to discuss changes in the reporting landscape over the last few decades, the insidious creep to a controlled and manipulated media and the morphing of journalists into tools used to shape people’s thinking and prevent critical thinking. She touches on how she’s become something of a pariah for bucking the trend and sticking with her commitment to report the truth. In her new book ‘Follow the Science’ Sharyl focuses on misinformation, but misinformation from the ‘other side’. As she says, the key hallmarks of true misinformation is when all the media is in lockstep, furthering the collective narrative that doesn’t allow any other opinions.
Sharyl’s catch cry is “Do your own research. Make up your own mind. Think for yourself.”Join Rob and Sharyl for a riveting, diverse conversation that gives new meaning to the term ‘misinformation’, the control of the media, pharma’s stranglehold on doctors and the medical system, the shock result of the recent US election, covid and much more. It’s a true Pandora’s Box of an interview. Enjoy!
