About this product

Product Information

Who's been hacking Sharyl Attkisson's computers Computers that turn themselves on in the night, make strange noises, then shut themselves down. Whoever is doing it is using highly sophisticated spyware available only to our top intelligence agencies. Is someone sending Attkisson a message Washington, D.C., has always been a tough town for investigative journalists. But in the age of Obama, the government has taken the tried-and-true techniques of bureaucratic stonewalling to unprecedented heights. What's more, it has added harassment, intimidation, and outright spying to the mix. Through more than thirty years as an award-winning investigative reporter, Sharyl Attkisson fought tirelessly to uncover wrongdoing by those in power, whether major corporations, government officials, or presidential administrations of both parties. But when she started looking into stories involving the Obama administration's mistakes and misjudgments in a series of high-profile cases-stories few in mainstream journalism would touch-she was confronted with the administration's use of hardball tactics to discourage, block, and actively suppress her investigative work. A dogged reporter with a well-earned reputation as a "pit bull," Attkisson filed a series of groundbreaking stories on the Fast and Furious gunwalking program, Obama's green energy boondoggle, the unanswered questions about Benghazi, and the disastrous rollout of Obamacare. Her news reports were met with a barrage of PR warfare tactics, including emails and phone calls up the network chain of command, criticism from paid-for commenters and bloggers, and a campaign of character assassination that continues to this day. Most disturbing of all, Attkisson reveals that as she broke news on Fast and Furious and Benghazi, her computers and phone lines were hacked and bugged by an unrevealed but tremendously sophisticated party. Stonewalled is the story of the Obama administration's efforts to monitor journalists, intimidate and harass opposition groups, and spy on private citizens. But it is also a searing indictment of the timidity of the press and the dangerous decline of investigative journalism and unbiased truth telling in America today.

A deep, nuanced and indignant indictment of the players who have made investigative journalism harder to conduct, even if those actors are other journalists. -- Kirkus Reviews "Attkisson offers a harrowing and gripping account of journalism as practiced these days in Washington. She skillfully unveils how she discovered the secret scheme to spy on her. The larger and more disturbing takeaway is how the mainstream are falling down on the job." -- Jeff Gerth, Pulitzer Prize winning former investigative reporter for the New York Times, Attkisson offers a harrowing and gripping account of journalism as practiced these days in Washington.

  • Stonewalled is a must read !

    This has got to be one of the best books I have read on the subject of actual investigative reporting and the consequences of neutral and unbiased reporting by someone who really knows. It is really rare to get an author without a left or right opinion. I was interested from cover to cover. It's no wonder she has gotten so many awards for her work. I just wish there were more in Washington with her skills.

  • Real Journalism Revisted....FINALLY! About Time. Overdue!

    Whilst I purchased Stonewalled as a gift, I also began reading a copy of it, and it is filled with (and it has been long overdue) balanced journalism. For example, I was reading the chapter on the farce called "Green Energy" (Titled: Green Energy Gone Red, I do believe it is; page 139 to 158). Now, to be sure, Ms. Attkisson is not anti-Green Energy; instead, she does present both sides of the issue when it is applicable (be that good or bad news). Well, she had bad news to tell us here. Ms. Attkisson reveals stories that she tried to get published that were not only blocked but also purposely buried. Publishers (she learned) only wanted to show the public the pro-side and never inform the public of the downsides of the Green Energy debate. For instance, whilst Obama was lying to the ...

  • This is a "must read" book.

    Awesome book. Worth the read. A "wake-up America" to the truth about Washington. Ms Attkisson is a journalist at her best, going after the truth and not stopping until she gets the answers.

  • Excellent work!

    Excellent journalism!
