Is the Deep State untouchable? Sharyl Attkisson joins The P.A.S. Report to expose how government abuse, media corruption, and bureaucratic immunity protect the powerful while punishing dissent.


Award-winning investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson, host of Full Measure and author of Follow the Science, breaks down the DOJ indictment of former Fauci adviser Dr. David Morens, the COVID coverup culture, FOIA abuses, public health fear campaigns, and the danger of partisan outside organizations influencing federal threat assessments. This episode examines how narrative control, censorship, and government immunity create a system where accountability becomes nearly impossible.


What You'll Learn:

  • The Morens Indictment: How the David Morens case exposes deeper evasion tactics inside the public health bureaucracy.
  • Evasion of Oversight: How bureaucrats evade FOIA and public records laws while Congress performs outrage.
  • The Media Fear Machine: Why coordinated fear campaigns, including virus coverage, deserve skepticism after COVID.
  • The Immunity Armor: How government immunity and legal barriers protect officials from accountability.
  • Institutional Capture: How partisan outside organizations influence federal agencies and threat assessments.


Sharyl Attkisson reveals why government abuse thrives when the bureaucracy polices itself, the media protects preferred narratives, and citizens are left fighting a system designed to outlast them.
