On March 10 , 2014 , Attkisson resigned from CBS News in what she stated was an " amicable " parting . '' Politico '' reported that according to sources within CBS there had been tensions leading to " months of hard-fought negotiations " – that Attkisson had been frustrated over what she perceived to be the network 's liberal bias and lack of dedication to investigative reporting , as well as issues she had with the network ’s corporate partners , while some colleagues within the network saw her reporting as agenda-driven and doubted her impartiality . Attkisson has said such reports about " liberal bias " being the reason for her leaving CBS News are not based on fact . Erik Wemple , in his '' Washington Post '' blog , said CBS News had greater resources to deal with potential litigation than Attkisson as an individual and commented " if her nearly aired stories are as bulletproof as she suggests , where ’s the risk ? " He quoted Sonya McNair , a spokesman for CBS News , who had told him the operation " maintains the highest journalistic standards in what it chooses to put on the air . Those standards are applied without fear or favor . " Attkisson 's book '' Stonewalled : One Reporter 's Fight for Truth Against the Forces of Obstruction , Intimidation , and Harassment in Obama 's Washington '' was published by Harper later in 2014 and became a '' New York Times '' best seller . In this work , she accuses CBS of protecting the Obama administration by not giving enough coverage to such stories as the 2012 Benghazi attack and slow initial enrollments under Obamacare
