MSNBC producer Ariana Pekary couldn't take the "Mainstream" media cancerous liberal slant anymore and resigns with scathing revelation letter: MSNBC producer resigns from network with scathing letter: They block 'diversity of thought' and 'amplify fringe voices'.
The highlights revealed by Pekary:
1. "Mainstream" media buries important facts and studies about the coronavirus.
2. Presentation of true diversity of thought is blocked and fringe voices get amplified.
3. The upper management of "mainstream" news journalism forces good journalists to make bad decisions on a daily basis.
4. The decision to produce a topic or host a guest is usually based only on how it would "rate" with the viewers, not if it was truly newsworthy, and it's taboo to discuss openly how that ratings scheme distorts content in "broadcast" news. As one respectable veteran in the media therefore puts it "we are a cancer and there is no cure ...".
5. Regarding how the "mainstream" media distortion model affects coverage of both the coronavirus and recent racial unrest, "The model blocks diversity of thought and content because the networks have incentive to amplify fringe voices and events, at the expense of others, all because it pumps up the ratings."
6. The skew for ratings compels "mainstream" media to focus on deriding Trump instead of on the science itself of coronavirus and fighting it.
7. Rarely does "mainstream" media choose stories regardless of how they would rate.
8. The bottom line: "... the desire to charge more money for commercials in addition to ratings bonuses that top-tier decision-makers earn prevent the network from pursuing stories she believes the audiences should be informed about.".
9. Some producers even deny "mainstream" media producers are journalists, and one even said, "Our viewers don't really consider us the news. They come to us for comfort."
Wow! So a "mainstream" media producer finally admits what many of us have known all along: "mainstream" media outlets are simply purveyors of fake news "entertainment" for bored not-so-bright product consumers sitting at home twiddling their thumbs as outsiders looking in who are easily riled up emotionally by the behavior of powerful people in charge .. or in other words: liberals! :shock:
Yes, like the retired left wing activist who revealed that BLM is a Marxist cult fanning a race war, another insider reveals the truth, this time about "mainstream" media!
