Amazing that one of the leftists actually admits their corruption and leaves her job

MSNBC producer Ariana Pekary explained that the reason for her deciding to quit her job was that the mainstream media blocks “diversity of thought” in favor of promoting hysterical voices for ratings and that a TV veteran admitted to her “we are a cancer and there is no cure.”
Pekary, who was an “integral member” of Lawrence O’Donnell’s primetime show, says that the media’s obsession with Trump is actually costing lives because it is preventing reasoned discussions about how to fight the coronavirus pandemic.
- This cancer risks human lives, even in the middle of a pandemic.
- The primary focus quickly became what Donald Trump was doing (poorly) to address the crisis, rather than the science itself.
- As new details have become available about antibodies, a vaccine, or how COVID actually spreads, producers still want to focus on the politics.
- Important facts or studies get buried,” Pekary explained.
This cancer, the Virginian notes correctly, risks our democracy,
- “…even in the middle of a presidential election. Any discussion about the election usually focuses on Donald Trump, not Joe Biden, a repeat offense from 2016 (Trump smothers out all other coverage)…
- Context and factual data are often considered too cumbersome for the audience.”
The former producer also revealed that a “successful and insightful TV veteran” acknowledged to her that,
“We are a cancer and there is no cure, but if you could find a cure, it would change the world.”

Pekary also highlighted how the very model by which the corporate press is structured guarantees that voices of dissent are silenced in favor of hysterical political extremists, something that has come to fore over the last two months with the media’s relentless promotion of Black Lives Matter narratives.
“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,”

Pekary’s resignation follows that of former New York Times columnist Bari Weiss, who said she was smeared by her own colleagues as a racist and a Nazi for daring to engage in “wrongthink” by not echoing fringe social justice rhetoric.
