Sharyl Attkisson of CBS News has won an Emmy for her reporting on Project Gunwalker. Given the hard work she did on this story as well as the risks to her career in reporting a story that the Obama Administration would have liked to stay hidden, it is a honor that is well-deserved. She won her Emmy for Outstanding Investigative Journalism in a Regularly Scheduled Newscast.
Emmy Awards
Eggs, Caskets, Adoptions, Or Project Gunwalker?
Those are the four topics for the nominees in this year’s Emmy Awards Outstanding Investigative Journalism in a Regularly Scheduled Broadcast category. Sharyl Attkisson of CBS News is one of the four nominees in this category for her series “Gunwalker: Fast and Furious”.
I won’t comment on the other stories except to say that Brian Ross of ABC always comes across as a little slimey.
Congratulations to Sharyl and her team for the nomination and to those who nominated her in the first place. It is well deserved. I do think a couple of names are missing, however, from her team: Mike Vanderboegh and David Codrea.
