"Attkisson’s one piece of solace may come from finally gaining some like-minded colleagues in the media. For years, Attkisson has been one of the few mainstream reporters pursuing critical stories about the Obama administration. Today, as “scandal season” takes hold in Washington, she has seen her longstanding skepticism of the White House and the Justice Department become the conventional attitude among a formerly deferential Beltway press corps.

I'm sure that the "conventional attitude" Mr Byers refers to in the last sentence above won't last, however. The "scandal season" will pass the closer we get to the 2014 election cycle.

Note that Atkinson was just as critical of the Bush Administration as she has been of the current crowd. She tends to be skeptical of government, not of one political party or another.
