cdi is in the middle of a lot of controversy in fact there editor for
seven years greg sandoval has quake after c_b_s_ force them to take away a
nomination for eight dish product
uh... that they had nominated for the consumer electronics show now uh... that
nomination was for the best of category and add that product that i'm referring
to is the dish hopper with sling sold the dish opera whistling uh... is
basically an a steam tvr system that can allow you to automatically skip ads and
it sounds like a great products are naturally c net would nominate this
product however because c_b_s_ its parent company is in the middle of the
litigation they were forced to take that nomination away
now it gets worse so first of all c_b_s_ feats
any product that lets you skip commercials of course that's a
grandmother that's how they make all their money
uh... and saleable it turns out
that they had one
they should want be category was is that it was nominated
they'd already had internal deliberations and they decided to do one
then c_b_s_ puts the pressure on them
and they withdraw
the when et cetera right
and now they're fed journalists who work there who are resigning saying look
uh... heidelberg urge anybody anything but i'm a professional journalists and i
do honest reporting i don't want anybody think otherwise some think it one of the
situation now activities outraged by this but
you have a sense of the if you think this will happen incorporating l
all the time
your kidding yourself
queso happens admits it
the reason why it's getting a lot of attention is because it's something that
you can pinpoint it's a perfect example of how corporate interests completely
taint and poison journalism which is why it's so important to remain independent
when you really think about it
who if you have a non-starter to anyone that's working corporate media
and corporate news right
and you say them
a story about when you're advertisers
ever been killed
or despair
nineteen out of our little value that's
definitely happen
now think about how much that affects the news over a macro scale
so now in this case it is as a direct corporate interest against this
but wind g_e_ you're an n_b_c_ did they have a corporate interest in telling
msnbc which was part of n_b_c_ network
pay support the right more cheat
military contractor
kano money off the rock 'n brighton remember the time msnbc
tilted conservative this would be for the development
predicted a cover for us in our break
so
they fire all the liberals phil donahue the accident fill this out are
that's an well not a sample you've got this example but there are millions
examples you don't know that happens behind the scenes so
be careful what you trust from the
corporate media definitely and it's also the reason why
you'll see ats for light bt for instance and i know that beating sells all well
but you'll see it like
don't really sell you anything there are other ads adult cell you anything you
can go to a store and buy something but you as a consumer singers adam cnr msnbc
what is it really about it's because they're finding
uh... station or or that network to make sure that they don't run negative
stories about their you two more quick exams are gail's midland is career that
began so smothered to consumers
of so but they give
about a million dollars for a long time
to meet the press releases this week and i want to give the and million dollars a
year when they don't even
and it just says at the end are brought to you by archer daniels midland and
that's it right
it's because they want to make sure that they don't do any stories against archer
daniels midland you give somebody a million dollars manhattan avenue that
story there today got a hundred other stories they can do and they're not
going to do that one
is there a way of controlling the press
take that multiply by a hundred that's what's happening
all over the corporate press
and other settings and was the macro one which is
t_v_ makes it john
can take them out of money
look all the super packs outside money the corporate money the rich people's
money
going into politics the
television advertisements from that
so you think they're television stations and they tell you the real problem in
politics is money in politics
without money
ghosts of admin
they're not gonna tell you that
so and that's how we all get duped
so the scene example
is a small example of a large cancer inside corporate media
so i'm glad i got exposed and i'm glad people are mad about it
but i understand it happens on a much larger scale
and half a systematic but just one quick thing about the extent of all the time
mentioned you know he is that was the editor of seen ac
he quit antiquated not because he wants to start you know beef with c_b_s_
anything like that he said look
i want to be honest journalist ok again with the coming for seven years and you
know it's risky to leave a company that you've worked for for that long but he's
like i want to be unpunished journalists and it's really good to know that their
our reporters out there there are writers matters out there that one st
true
to what journalism is supposed to be about so
you know major props to greg sandoval
