Attempts at explaining the actions of the news media based on ratings does
not always work. An admission of wrongdoing, coverup, public apology, or
public mistake made by someone in the news media will necessarily attract
viewers because we all like to see someone “fuck up,” especially in front
of as many people as possible.
Although Nielsen-style ratings are a very important metric to traditional
media, ultimately such numbers are used to attract commercial sponsors, and
thus the “quality” of attention becomes important. Ultimately, an oft
overlooked motivation for some of these traditional media outlets is the
same as it is in most any social industry: reputation and image.
Faux-corrections like this (and even “no corrections”) illustrate that
maintaining a reputation of accuracy and integrity are not serious concerns
for outlets like Fox News and Breitbart, particularly when it comes into
conflict with efforts to maintain a reputation of being necessarily
anti-Obama.
So….. think either Lorette Lynch will sue any or all of the various
sources that published such slander about them?!? Think the courts would
throw it out cause those same sources lie like this all the time?
Anyone remember when CNN named Adam Lanza’s brother as the shooter behind
the Sandy Hook disaster incorrectly? How about when Lamar Smith was
harassed on his FaceBook even though a different Lamar Smith introduced the
SOPA bill?
We need to face it, journalism is dead; investigative journalism is gone.
Not just republitard’s media.
This story reminds me of when right-wing, radio host Melanie Morgan ranted
for 20 minutes against liberal writer Fran Lebowitz, but many of the
details Morgan mentioned were about Annie Lebowitz, the famous portrait
photographer. Morgan came back after a commercial and took 5 seconds to
explain her mistake. One minute of Google research is too much homework for
most republican media clowns.
Of course they’d add the correction at the end, because most people just
read the first few sentences of an article anyway.
I Like David your all videos….

Breitbart is run by the same folks who bring us all the brainmushing shit
known as FOX, I just used one of their links among a shitload of Xtian
links to prove a point that only xtians believe that only xtians can never
starve… this was the link

The insane nutfucks are running the asylum. LOL!
So where is the crying heartfelt apology?
Check out the “retraction”. It’s even worse.

Well, at least they aren’t celebrating the birth place of some serial
killer named Loretta Lynch-Gacy.

How many more times does Fox and other places have to get the story wrong
before they take away their ‘news’ status?
Wait, you mean it isn’t Loretta Lynch the country singer? :P
That has gotta be the most bizarre “correction” in the history corrections.
Breitbart, not so bright, so Bart.
Facts are for pussies.
=_=…its hard to be have faith in mainstream media when they are this
fucked in the brain.
