Wednesday on Newsmax TV’s “The Steve Malzberg Show,” former CBS News correspondent Sharyl Attkisson said CBS and the media were “sinister” in the way they intentionally censor and blackout what they give to the American public.

Attkisson was discussing the latest Benghazi whistle-blower being attacked in left-wing blogs for poetry he wrote. She called it a “newish trend” she witnessed in which the media uses blogosphere character attacks on figures in the news as a thinly veiled excuse to “blackball” a story when in actuality she said the media do not trust what the public would do with the information that story.
