MSNBC Producer Quits: ‘This Cancer Stokes National Division,’ Facts ‘Too Cumbersome’ For Audience
https://www.dailywire.com/news/msnbc...tHdctZJu3caN-0
A former MSNBC producer wrote an open letter on Monday explaining why she left the far-left network a little over a week ago, saying that they are a “cancer” that is “stoking national division” by amplifying “fringe voices” and forcing “journalists to make bad decisions on a daily basis.”
The letter was written by Ariana Pekary, who Fox News noted described herself as an “integral member” of MSNBC’s “The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell.”
Pekary begins her letter by sharing quotes of what people said to her over the last couple of years as she pondered leaving the network due to the detrimental effect that it is having on society.
“July 24th was my last day at MSNBC. I don’t know what I’m going to do next exactly but I simply couldn’t stay there anymore,” Pekary wrote. “My colleagues are very smart people with good intentions. The problem is the job itself. It forces skilled journalists to make bad decisions on a daily basis.”
Pekary said that at MSNBC it was “practically baked in to the editorial process” that decisions on what and who give coverage to were based on what would generate the most ratings for the network. She said that behind closed doors “industry leaders will admit the damage that’s being done.”
A high profile TV veteran reportedly told her, “We are a cancer and there is no cure. But if you could find a cure, it would change the world.”
“As it is, this cancer stokes national division, even in the middle of a civil rights crisis,” Pekary said. “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.”
“Context and factual data are often considered too cumbersome for the audience,” Pekary later added. “There may be some truth to that (our education system really should improve the critical thinking skills of Americans) – but another hard truth is that it is the job of journalists to teach and inform, which means they might need to figure out a better way to do that. They could contemplate more creative methods for captivating an audience. Just about anything would improve the current process, which can be pretty rudimentary (think basing today’s content on whatever rated well yesterday, or look to see what’s trending online today).”

Yeah I think we all know why media does what it does and why it is a cancer to society. They get their revenue from views/clicks/ratings, so that is what they are going to try to maximize. For any of you who work with bonus metrics in your careers, when you set those compensation targets, it's going to influence the behavior of the people towards it. I'm hoping whoever the next president is (Trump cannot do this), they implement something for journalistic standards. For one, I'd love to see "Opinion" sections from major news sources gone because those tend to be some of the most sensationalist articles lacking reality.

"Do you think SHE actually felt like that was a sexual thing he was doing? She's like 6. Only an actual p3do would think that she thought he was groping her, too."
"Not that it's impossible to touch a minor inappropriately, but it is true that a 6 year old girl will not recognize someone putting a hand on their chest as groping, whether it is inappropriate or not."

I would just like you to explain to me how these news stations are actually getting more clicks with what they air? How is the direction they are going in any way indicative that they are going for more clicks/views?

Like, if MSNBC and CNN are going for views and clicks, why aren't they following the model that Fox is doing? Whatever that is.

Fox isn't a good comparable because they can almost be seen as an inverse to CNN and MSNBC. As one side goes more towards an extreme, viewership of the other will likely go up as that viewer base becomes more emotional. I also think left-biased media is seeing more dilution than right-biased currently as well. I think I can only name like 3-4 right leaning media outlets at most.
But it's honestly hard to imagine they are not trying to stoke flames for profit. Any civil unrest that is created will create more content like protests/riots to continue to report on. Unrelated to the revenue is trying to control opinions as well, which we've heard from the leaked CNN audio.

So the fact that there is a political agenda as the baseline as their news, you think CNN will just start airing pro-Trump news... It's not purely tunnel vision on clicks, it's push the agenda and increase ratings by stoking division to the people that want to believe their narrative. Derp.

Half ass resignation letter TBH. Nothing she said was anything we didn't already know. If you're going to quit and then go public with your gripes and criticism of the system, go scorched earth mode like the New York Times chick a few weeks ago.
