“But to hire somebody for supposedly $300,000 a year, who’s going to be – not only an election denier, which she was after the 2020 election – but somebody who worked and was calling people in Michigan trying to get them not to certify the vote. So, she was an election-denying enabler. To me, that’s a bridge too far.” |
CNN’s Chris Wallace Roasts NBC Execs’ ‘Pretty Dumb’ Decision to Hire Ronna McDaniel
After fierce backlash, NBC parted ways with the former chair of the Republican National Committee after she lasted just half a scaramucci in the role. Wallace appeared on CNN’s Laura Coates Live on Wednesday to offer his thoughts, but not before Laura Coates played a clip of him grilling McDaniel in July about the 2020 election. McDaniel told Wallace the contest had “lots of problems” as she echoed former President Donald Trump’s false claims of election fraud.(Media-Ite 3/27/24) READ MORE>>>>> |
MSNBC Staff Join Flood of Complaints Over NBC Hiring GOP’s Ronna McDaniel
NBC News and MSNBC are facing a wave of backlash after hiring former Republican National Committee chairwoman Ronna McDaniel as an on-air contributor on Friday, with some staffers speaking out publicly against the move. McDaniel has repeatedly attacked the network in the past, calling their journalists “propagandists.” She also promoted false claims of election fraud in the 2020 presidential election.

“As columnists we are held to strict standards of factuality and truth, and are expected to have a fundamental understanding of our democracy,” Kabas continued. “McDaniel has proven time and again she adheres to none of those values, and lacks that very basic understanding. |
Ex-RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel Hired As NBC And MSNBC Political Contributor
As a new on-air contributor for the NBC News and MSNBC platforms, NBC recruited Ronna McDaniel, the former chairwoman of the Republican National Committee, the company said on Friday. Following her formal resignation from the Republican National Committee (RNC) earlier this month at the alleged request of 2024 Republican nominee Donald Trump, McDaniel was met with criticism from a loud segment of the conservative base who felt that she was too connected to the party’s establishment wing. Others had also labeled her as a “RINO.” RINO is an abbreviation which means “Republican In Name Only.” (OANN 3/22/24) READ MORE>>>>>

NBC News reporter says Trump campaign stopped him from covering New Hampshire event
NBC News reporter Vaughn Hillyard said former President Trump's campaign stopped him from covering a New Hampshire event on Sunday – but the campaign said it doesn't "bar reporters based on their reporting" and simply scrapped a network pool. Hillyard was serving as a pool reporter representing five television networks, a longstanding practice in which TV news organizations take turns sending a single reporter to cover campaign events when there isn’t space for multiple crews.

‘New York Compost’: Trump Booster Laura Loomer Flips Out On ‘Rupert Murdoch’s NY Post’ For Covering Unflattering Poll
Pro-Trump conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer slammed the New York Post this week for covering a recent poll that was not very flattering to Donald Trump. “No the hell we do not. This is some more bullshit from Rupert Murdoch’s @nypost. Rupert Murdoch is on the record saying he wants to “make Trump a non person”. You can’t trust anything about Trump that comes out of any of his publications. It’s all trash,” Loomer wrote on X/Twitter, adding: New York Compost. (Alex Griffing/MediaIte 12/22/23) READ MORE>>>>>

How Media Hunger for ‘Clicks’ Could Distort the 2024 Election
ANew York Times story last Friday was the latest in a long series of stories — in The Times and elsewhere — premised on “horse race” polling at the expense of what’s at stake in the 2024 election — namely, whether the freedoms that democracy has given us will survive Donald Trump’s promise, if elected, to act dictatorially on day one. The Times article was headlined, “Democrats in Key States Worry Biden Could Be a Drag on Their Races.” You had to read down 14 paragraphs to see any reference to the observation — from a Biden campaign official to be sure — that Trump’s strongman ideas are extreme, dangerous, and unpopular among most Americans. (Dennis Aftergut/The Messenger 12/30/23) READ MORE>>>>> |
Neither that fact nor the cliff which Trump’s MAGA movement wants to drive us toward get the same play as the next breathless “breaking news” poll about how badly Biden seems to be doing when the pollsters include people who tend not to vote. |
Warped Front Pages
Seven years ago, in the wake of the 2016 presidential election, media analysts rushed to explain Donald Trump’s victory. Misinformation was to blame, the theory went, fueled by Russian agents and carried on social networks. But as researchers, we wondered if fascination and fear over “fake news” had led people to underestimate the influence of traditional journalism outlets. After all, mainstream news organizations remain an important part of the media ecosystem—they’re widely read and watched; they help set the agenda, including on social networks. We decided to look at what had been featured on the printed front page of the New York Times in the three months leading up to Election Day. Of a hundred and fifty articles that discussed the campaign, only a handful mentioned policy; the vast majority covered horse race politics or personal scandals. Most strikingly, the Times ran ten front-page stories about Hillary Clinton’s email server. “If voters had wanted to educate themselves on issues,” we concluded, “they would not have learned much from reading the Times.” We didn’t suggest that the election coverage in the Times was any worse than what appeared in other major outlets, “so much as it was typical of a broader failure of mainstream journalism.” But we did expect, or at least hope, that in the years that followed, the Times would conduct a critical review of its editorial policies. Was an overwhelming focus on the election as a sporting contest the best way to serve readers? Was obsessive attention to Clinton’s email server really justified in light of the innumerable personal, ethical, and ultimately criminal failings of Trump? It seemed that editors had a responsibility to rethink both the volume of attention paid to certain subjects as well as their framing.

Fox News slapped with defamation suit for smearing innocent man as 'neo-Nazi murderer'
A Texas man has sued Fox News, Newsmax and other right-wing media outlets for falsely smearing him as a "neo-Nazi murderer" following a mass shooting last year at an outlet mall. The lawsuit alleges that Fox News,
Newsmax, Univision, Timcast, Steven Crowder, Owen Shroyer, Simon Ateba and Hollywood Unlocked all falsely identified 36-year-old Mauricio Garcia as the gunman who killed nine people and wounded seven others May 6, 2023, at Allen Premium Outlets. The actual shooter was a 33-year-old man with the same name who was later killed by police in the same area on an unrelated call.

Trump's Newsmax VP brag: "I'd have a Democrat." I say: Don't let this go.
The Trump braggadocio fumbles keep coming and this one about who wants to be his VP, begs us to pick it up and run with it. From his recent Newsmax interview with Greg Kelly at about 1:35 mark on this link shown by Colbert last night. (Scroll down to the Colbert You Tube segment). Here’s the exact quote about his VP search, said on camera (CAPS are mine) “ There’s not a person in politics that doesn’t want it and THAT INCLUDES DEMOCRATS. If I wanted I’d have a Democrat, I’d have a Liberal, I’d have ANYBODY I want.”

Newsmax Host Calls TikTok Ban ‘The Dumbest Legislation I’ve Seen Yet’ After Majority of Republicans Vote in Favor
Newsmax host Carl Higbie tore into House Republicans on Wednesday for voting for a bill that could effectively ban the popular app TikTok, calling it “the dumbest legislation I’ve seen yet.” Reacting to the success of the bill on his show Carl Higbie Frontline, Higbie protested, “In order to stop the influence from China, the U.S. government, or at least Congress, has become more like China.” After confessing that he was “super nervous about the precedent” that the bill could set, Higbie said: I’ll be honest, at first I thought, hey, maybe this might be a good idea to cut off China’s influence, but then I got to thinking about it. The language in this bill, at least what I’ve read, is super broad and will absolutely, absolutely 100% be used to shut down media that whoever’s in charge doesn’t agree with. This is a Trojan Horse.

Not Even Tucker Carlson’s Fox News Firing Could Save Newsmax
Just a few months ago, Newsmax was riding high. The MAGA network watched its ratings soar after disgruntled Fox News viewers ditched the conservative cable giant after it shockingly fired Tucker Carlson. Exploiting the MAGA rage against Fox over kicking its top right-wing star to the curb, Newsmax leaned even harder into its already over-the-top pro-Trump ethos, bluntly signaling to viewers that this was the channel to turn to for all their conservative comfort content needs. They even went so far as to not-so-subtly suggest that Carlson could potentially join their airwaves. (Justin Baragona/Daily Beast 12/27/23) READ MORE>>>>>

Newsmax Host Is Now Sorry For Walking Out On 'Important Guest' Mike Lindell
Newsmax host Bob Sellers pulled a stunning about-face Wednesday after walking out on conspiracy-spewing Mike Lindell during an interview. The anchor apologized for the dramatic exit and called the Trump-supporting MyPillow CEO a “friend of the network” and “an important guest.” (See the video below.) In a shocking viral moment earlier this week, Sellers attempted to silence Lindell as the bedding mogul ranted about what even the far-right network host called unsubstantiated election fraud claims. When that didn’t work, Sellers walked off the set, leaving colleague Heather Childers to finish the chat. Newsmax remains firmly in the camp of ex-President Donald Trump, but has eased away from some of the lies asserted by Trump and his allies. That includes Lindell’s falsehoods about rigged Dominion Voting Systems machines. The company has threatened legal action against Newsmax, prompting the network to stop repeating the voting machine claim and to police its guests’ comments. (Dominion also has sent a cease-and-desist warning to Lindell, but it hasn’t stopped him.) (Yahoo 2/4/21) READ MORE>>>>>

Newsweek: inglorious path from brilliant journalism to yellow press
This year marks the 90th anniversary of the American news magazine Newsweek. It is unquestionably one of the most famous magazines not only in the US but in the world. It is the weekly magazine that has been the winner of the most prestigious awards in the publishing industry. But does its glorious past mean it is still respectable? I would like to say no. Why is that? For decades American quality journalism had a principle: information on the pages of a publication or a television screen must have two sources of verification. In this way, a high level of credibility was maintained. Newsweek magazine has long since abandoned this principle. It has repeatedly been embroiled in horrific scandals that have proven that the once-solid publication cannot be considered as such. It has too eagerly embraced the tabloid principle and chased every sensation.
