Taming Sharyl Attkisson

Sharyl Attkisson is an ex-CBS reporter who believes her stories were deep sixed for political and business reasons. She has since quit her job and is writing about her experiences. She hired a computer expert to analyze her computer for spyware and he found  the computer was hacked into by “a sophisticated entity that used commercial, non-attributable spyware that’s proprietary to a government agency: either the CIA, FBI, the Defense Intelligence Agency or the National Security Agency.” The spyware included programs that Attkisson says monitored her every keystroke and gave the snoops access to all her e-mails and the passwords to her financial accounts.
He also discovered three classified documents that he said were “buried deep in your operating system. In a place that, unless you’re a some kind of computer whiz specialist, you wouldn’t even know exists.” He added, “They probably planted them to be able to accuse you of having classified documents if they ever needed to do that at some point.” Read that again.
The Feds planted phony evidence to threaten or undermine a reporter? In the United States? Now I understand that this woman is selling a book but these are serious charges about our own government.
