Book Review: The Smear by Sharyl Attkisson

Sharyl Attkisson, host of the sunday morning program Full Measure has been a prize winning journatlist for more than thirty years. A recipient of the prestigious Edward R.  Murrow award for investigative reporting, Attkisson has written a block buster of a book that gives readers insight into the current media climate and its relationship to the murky polluted DC swamp.

Her book, The Smear: How Shady Political Operatives and Fake News Control What You See, What You Think and How You Vote chronicles how political smear campaigns, behind the scenes coordination between the press, politicians and other special interests, help to manipulate the news and determine how we live.
