For over a decade, Sharyl Attkisson has been there for us reporting the truth about what vaccines are doing to children while health officials, medical organizations, doctors and the media look the other way.
Here is her previous coverage.
Since leaving CBS News where her work was no longer appreciated or aired, she's written the book, Stonewalled: My Fight for Truth Against the Forces of Obstruction, Intimidation, and Harassment in Obama's Washington,
And she's been covered in lots of places in the media.
Fox News
A while ago it was announced that the unstoppable Sharyl Attkisson would be having her own news show covering the facts too often left out of mainstream reporting.
Now the day for Sharyl's opening is out. Oct 4, 2015 will be the start of "Full Measure," which will air on Sunday mornings. I hope the journalists who fail us each and every day in print and broadcast news will be watching. Sharyl's show will be getting attention and she'll be exposing to everyone what we're not being told by CNN, ABC News, The New York Times, The Chicago Tribune and all the rest. If, as a poll from last year showed, 60 percent of Americans don't trust what they've told by the media, the press should be trying to improve their image. Maybe they could treat "Full Measure" like a Journalism 101 class and learn to do their jobs the right way.

BALTIMORE, July 13, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Sinclair Broadcast Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: SBGI) is pleased to announce the launch date for "Full Measure with Sharyl Attkisson" to debut on Sunday, October 4, 2015.

The 30-minute program, which will be based in Washington, D.C., will focus on investigative journalism and target accountability in the public and private sectors.
"We will pierce secrecy and seek accountability from government, corporations and special interests," said Ms. Attkisson, host of the broadcast. "We will report on untouchable topics in a fearless way with a team of award winning journalists. We will follow the trail no matter where it leads."

Batt Humphreys will be the broadcast's Executive Producer. He served in several executive roles with CBS News in New York, including EP of The Early Show and Director of Standards and Practices.
"In today's world of media and journalism where reporting is often superficial we pledge to dig deeper, to bring the context and perspective to the stories that matter, to bring to our audience the 'Full Measure'," says Mr. Humphreys.

I can't help but be reminded of RFK Jr's comment on his meeting with a president (?) of a broadcast network who said that a large percentage of his advertising came from Pharma. No wonder that we can't get any new coverage on any of these important issues. I wish that could get reversed, advertising pharmaceuticals, that is. It really was the start of all the trouble.
I hope she is successful. I am disappointed that there is not a local station near me that is a SBGI station.

I hope that the evil powers don't stop it. Looking forward to it!

I hope that one of the first stories to be covered, in depth, until resolved, is the handling of Dr. Bradstreet's murder and the murders of other doctors who were practicing real medicine before struck down by an assassin.
