@SharylAttkisson 1/ One day before Benghazi. After all the other Western nations' embassies were abandoned, ours remained.
Sharyl, until and unless all this data is correlated and presented, in a verifiable fashion, in a way that a 12-year-old can grasp, they are all going to get away with it.

@SharylAttkisson 2/ By "get away with it," I don't mean legally. I mean in terms of the cultural awareness that is vital to preventing it from ever happening again. If it is prosecuted under Trump's DoJ/GOP led Congress, the "news" media will depict it as a partisan retaliatory effort to....
@SharylAttkisson 3/ ... smear and repudiate a beloved president, who just happened to be our first black president. That is how it will be presented through all the information channels through which most of the younger generations form their perceptions -- including our schools.
@SharylAttkisson 4/ What was done to you, in particular, but to other journalists as well, should be common knowledge among right-wing, left-wing and unaffiliated millennials, as an affront to everything upon which a free society is based.
But how many know, right now? I'd guess less than 0.5%.

@SharylAttkisson 5/ This whole sewer of dirty dealing needs to be presented in a way that any rational American can look at and say, "My God, how is it that I knew nothing about this, for so long? This is outrageous!" And then, finally, our "news" media will be exposed for what such large...
@SharylAttkisson 6/ ... parts of it are: As you describe in The Smear, parts of a giant machine, that operates beyond view of us, that is engaged in shameless hackery and partisan propaganda, thriving on the false perceptions they breed among everyday Americans. As Andrew Breitbart pointed out...
@SharylAttkisson 7/ ... in re ACORN, the target was not ACORN. The target of the campaign was the "news" media that had protected ACORN's corruption for 25 years, stopping at nothing to both shield it, and accuse anyone who tried to expose it as a racist, or who just hates poor people, etc.
@SharylAttkisson 8/ Similarly, if you were a self-professed leftist hack journalist, and Trump did to you what Obama's intel/DoJ did, it would be front page news on every news organ, educational website and J-school seminar schedule in the Western world. Instead, to all but a handful...
@SharylAttkisson 9/... the name Sharyl Attkisson and the joint news agencies' statement of protest against Obama's building walls around itself, FOIA, all the things you describe in your interviews etc, is completely unknown. Deer in the headlights unawareness. Nothing will change....
@SharylAttkisson 10/ ... until that does.

Sorry for the length. I am just so convinced of all the good things that would happen if all the things in my first few posts actually happen, soon.
