Investigative reporter Sharyl Attkisson testifies before the Senate Judiciary Committee as it continues for a second day on the confirmation of President Barack Obama's nomination of Loretta Lynch to be attorney general, on Capitol Hill in Washington, Thursday, Jan. 29, 2015. Lynch did not appear at the second and final day of her confirmation hearing, which was designed instead to feature testimony from outside experts, several summoned by Republicans to amplify their criticism of Obama and his current attorney general, Eric Holder. Republicans deride Holder as a liberal firebrand and Obama cheerleader who has failed to cooperate with Congress. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite)

YouTube has shut down former CBS reporter Sharyl Attkisson’s new Full Measure News channel, effective last night, and now she is asking why.

The hard-hitting investigative journalist recently launched Full Measure News, “a broadcast focusing on investigative, original and accountability reporting.”

While at CBS, Attkisson became known for breaking stories on various Obama administration scandals and disasters, including the “Fast and Furious” gun-running scheme into Mexico, the attack on American diplomatic stations in Benghazi, and the ongoing collapse of Obamacare — and for generally getting under the president’s notoriously thin skin.

In a post about YouTube’s arbitrary censorship at sharylattkisson.com, she writes, “our goal is to provide information that others may not want you to see. #MissionAccomplished”
