Computer security experts say that a video released by former CBS News reporter Sharyl Attkisson appears to show her computer "malfunction[ing]," likely due to a stuck backspace key, not being hacked by government agents as she had suggested. 
In her new book Stonewalled, Attkisson claims that both her personal Apple laptop and a CBS News-issued Toshiba laptop were hacked in late 2012 while she was reporting on the Benghazi terrorist attacks. In June 2013, CBS News confirmed that the CBS News computer was breached, using what the network said were "sophisticated" methods. According to the book, unnamed sources confirmed for Attkisson that an unnamed government agency was behind the attack. She also claims that she has submitted her personal Apple laptop to the Department of Justice's Inspector General for additional review.

the best way to sell a lie is to quote "UNNAMED" that person can say anything and you can't prove they did or didn't get it right.  dealing with an under informed audience it's easy to lead them to the red meat trough and make them eat because they tell them it's true, but if you or I can't question "UNNAMED" the Fox viewer has no choice than to believe the network that looks out for them.

just wondering why didn't fox report this rebuttal to their "FOLKS", was it to keep them under informed or they just like lying to them and watching them get all ginned up on another red meat toss?
