Investigative reporter, Sharyl Attkisson, has caught my attention by the way she investigates events and strives to deal with proven facts and not opinion. It's hard not to love this kind of traditional reporting in our current times.<br /><br />In the video links below, I think Sharyl Attkisson has nailed what is happening in the unholy trinity of corporations, government, and activists that act, often in unison, to create an illusion of reality that propagandizes our youth and culture.
