In this eye-opening talk, veteran investigative journalist Sharyl
Attkisson shows how astroturf, or fake grassroots movements funded by
political, corporate, or other special interests very effectively
manipulate and distort media messages.

She is currently writing a book entitled Stonewalled (Harper Collins),
which addresses the unseen influences of corporations and special
interests on the information and images the public receives every day in
the news and elsewhere.
For twenty years (through March 2014),

Going Red. Additionally, Attkisson received a 2013 Daytime Emmy Award as
part of the CBS Sunday Morning team’s entry for Outstanding Morning
Program for her report: “Washington Lobbying: K-Street Behind Closed
Doors.”

Oustanding Investigative Journalism for the “Gunwalker: Fast and
Furious” story. She received the RTNDA Edward R. Murrow Award for
