Attkisson: If It Doesn't Fit The Narrative, It Doesn't Hit The Airwaves




Upstream Ideas show

Summary: Is the criticism that the media has become a caricature of itself in the Trump Era accurate? To what extent has editor-driven, narrative-driven reporting infiltrated the D.C. Press Corp? What are the traditional journalistic standards for using anonymous sources? Have those standards changed in reaction to the candidacy and presidency of Donald Trump? Award-winning journalist and author of The Smear: How Shady Political Operatives and Fake News Control What You See, What You Think and How You Vote, Sharyl Attkisson joins Dan Proft and John Kass (in for Amy Jacobson) to give a fascinating insider's view of how the media has changed.
