"FULL MEASURE with Sharyl Attkisson" Debuts Sunday, Nationwide on Sinclair Affiliates and Through Streaming at www.fullmeasure.news

BALTIMORE, Oct. 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- "FULL MEASURE with Sharyl Attkisson" is built on the premise of the best qualities of investigative journalism, seeking to expose the truth of issues that affect our lives, through a fearless and determined effort.

FULL MEASURE's first guest will be GOP Presidential candidate, Donald Trump, who joins Ms. Attkisson in a candid discussion of the country's immigration issues and the refugee crisis hitting Europe and coming to our shores.

"We are thrilled to welcome Mr. Trump to our first episode," said Ms. Attkisson, anchor of the broadcast. "He has been very vocal about immigration and the refugee situation, which are the two major storylines during our debut."

On the refugee crisis Donald Trump said, "I think it's insanity to take 200,000 people. When you take 200,000 people it's very hard to do anything about it. We don't know who they are. This could be an ISIS army. This could be brilliant people from ISIS saying let's infiltrate the United States... I think we're nuts."

By contrast, Ms. Attkisson will delve deep into the problems associated with asylum seekers already on American shores and how the Somali immigrants are overtaxing the resources of small town Lewiston, Maine.  In addition, Correspondent Scott Thuman reports from Britain and France on the critical issues of the new diaspora and the security threat already alarming the continent.

"This is serious journalism dedicated to serious topics that impact us all," said Scott Livingston, Vice President of News for Sinclair's television group.  "Sinclair Broadcast Group is excited to launch this show. Our team on "FULL MEASURE" is a sign of our dedication and commitment to our viewers to provide accurate, dependable and honest reporting.  "FULL MEASURE" and Sharyl Attkisson are backed by a staff of experienced, dedicated and passionate news professionals with proven records in investigative reporting and network broadcasting."

Ms. Attkisson is a recipient of five Emmy Awards, seven Emmy nominations and an Edward R. Murrow Award for investigative journalism. She recently authored the New York Times bestseller, Stonewalled, which addresses the unseen influences of corporations and special interests on the information and images that the public receives every day.

Batt Humphreys will be the broadcast's Executive Producer. He served in several executive roles with CBS News in New York, including Executive Producer of The Early Show and Director of Standards and Practices.
