Even Mika Brzezinski Makes Sharyl Attkisson’s Claims Look Silly

Former CBS News reporter and Dana Loesch award-sharer Sharyl Attkisson has been making the rounds of conservative media to push her nebulous claims of bias at CBS that prompted her exit, and to promote her upcoming book Stonewalled. If you’re not read in on Attkisson, Media Matters has a thick dossier on her, but if you don’t trust them for some reason, then just know that she’s also an avid anti-vaccine quack who excuses the murder of autistic children, and who should have been fired by CBS News for lying about Benghazi “emails” that weren’t emails.
