How frustrating must it be as a reporter on a MSN station

Imagine going to a prestigious college for journalism. Graduating with honors.
Working your way up from the bottom, then finally landing a plumb job at a major network. Then you find out because of the stations ideology, some of the biggest stories imaginable happening all around you aren’t allowed to be covered.
And you know these tv personalities read some of the same stories we do. They know about Biden’s corruption. They know how monumental the peace deals are that Trump brokered.
They know the spying on Trump was a bigger story than Watergate, but they can’t say a peep.
They see the daily riots and looting, but have to ignore it.
Instead, it’s Operation Mockingbird, and they all have to repeat the same lines about the same stories, at the same time.
How frustrating must it be to sell your soul out for money and fame.

True, I bet that makes justifying paying for that ethics class pretty challenging.

Local station affiliates catch so much unnecessary flack. Even the ones I know that can’t stand trump still do their job with at least some level of integrity.

Can’t tell you how many times when the network will send down a package about the White House and parts with obvious bias ends up having to be cut out before air.

Btw the White House press pool deserves no sympathy.

The reason they majored in journalism wasn’t because they had a burning desire to report the truth and expose corruption, it was because they wanted to “change the world”. Whatever it takes to defeat Trump is what they will gladly do even if it is to cover up a story.

The time is near when networks will figure out it's cheaper for them to put a robot in a chair, put a blonde wig and red lipstick on it and program it as what they want us to hear. Fredo Cuomo has already told us CNN will tell us what we need to know. A robot can do that.

I think by now, most journos learned from their liberal universities that their job is to help socialism thrive.


They don’t even look at it that way. Omb.

I suspect it's easy when you've lost your soul.


Or never had one.

Sorry, few people go through years of indoctrination and come out the way the went in.

The huge majority come out as lefties regardless of what they went in.

So they see themselves doing the right thing. They are actually telling us how to think.

They are part of the industry. No way did they go in unaware.

Imagine being a poor young woman. You need rent and groceries to keep a roof over your babies heads. Some client straight up offers you $2k for a roll in the hay. You justify that it is for your children, and earn the $2k.

You and the "journalist" are still a whore.
