In this wide-ranging conversation, investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson joins Mark Joseph to discuss her career in journalism, the pressures of corporate and government influence on the news, and her experiences exposing stories that mainstream outlets avoid. From her early days at CNN and CBS to launching her independent show Full Measure, Attkisson reflects on what it takes to remain nonpartisan in today’s media climate. She shares insights into Big Pharma’s growing role in shaping coverage, the rise of censorship on current social platforms, and her reporting on vaccine safety and government accountability. Attkisson also opens up about being spied on by the government, her books, and the personal challenges of caregiving for a loved one with dementia. This candid interview explores truth-telling in an era of narratives, control, and manipulation.
