Kristina Borjesson pushed too hard on the TWA Flight 800 story and lost her CBS job. She wrote "into the Buzzsaw" in 2002 on her misadventure.

In October 2005 she wrote "Feet to the Fire: The Media after 9/11" in which reporters and media figures speak out about corporate media's failure prior to the Iraq war. Some of the testimonials show that some reporters got it right, but didn't get much air play.

In an interview in Alternet Borjesson reveals that she has caught the truth-telling bug, as in this retort:

"The only other thing that people should be aware of is the bigger picture of what Krugman calls "the Revolution"; how this group of people came into power through a system that they are now trying to dismantle, both on the national and international level. And that in the superbig picture. It's basically about the paradigm shifting from nation-states to corporate states, where the nation-state's resources; their money and their military, and so on; are used in the furthering of corporations."
