NBC's Today Show profiles white nationalist group Identity Evropa, definitely a suitable story for morning television that was always going to go well

Quote:

NBC’s “Today” show ran a segment about a white nationalist group on Wednesday that seemed designed to raise concerns.

“We are telling this story to pull back the curtain so parents and college students are aware that these groups are out there,” correspondent Peter Alexander said before the segment, which was billed as “a rare look” inside the fringe group Identity Evropa.

But instead, the network became part of the story after its coverage was widely criticized: Many credible voices took to social media to say they felt the show’s short segment had given the group a wide platform on which to advertise itself, while allowing it to cover up the true nature of its views.

Quote:

NBC also allowed him to sidestep the issue of racism by claiming to be an “identitarian,” a term of jargon used by many white nationalists to describe their racially motivated political leanings.

Quote:

The “Today” show is not known for its journalistic exposés, raising questions about whether it was the appropriate venue for such a piece. But its large audience — some 4 million people watch it every week — and respectable broadcast trappings make it a uniquely powerful stage.

Identity Evropa is normally confined to getting its message out on social media, or putting up banners, fliers and stickers around college campuses and even highways, Levin said.

“On the ‘Today’ show, more people will be exposed to their messaging than all their work with banners, leaflets, flash mobs may be within a year,” he said.

Quote:

These critics’ claims were bolstered by the way Casey and Identity Evropa touted the interview before and after it was broadcast. On Wednesday, he wrote that applications for the group and interview requests were “pouring in” after the segment, which he shared multiple times on his feed.

Great work NBC, you aired a ****ing recruiting drive for Nazis you dip****s

Study suggests that without Fox GOP would be dead or at least exist in a different form.

Daily reminder that everyone should stop spreading right wing propaganda. It's counterproductive to quote it to point out how ridiculous it is.

Fox News’ Shepard Smith: Trump Campaigns On Public ‘Fear Of An Invasion Of Migrants’

Smith told viewers on Tuesday afternoon that the migrant caravan is not “coming to get anyone.”

“They’re seeking relief from their hell at home. And that’s the truth,” he said.

...

“What would it take for you and your family to walk 1,100 miles in 105-feels-like temperature with an entire government telling you, ‘We don’t want you’ to seek asylum from whatever it is you’re trying to escape? Imagine,” Smith said. “Let’s take a look at how all this really began, the politics aside, please.” He then went into an explanation about the gang violence many of the migrants are running from.

And the MSM is jumping all over the migrant caravan. ONCE ****ING AGAIN BEFORE AN ELECTION. Great ****ing job guys.

Remember when Trump being a tax dodge was a story for about 12 hours? Imagine how the writers who put all that effort into that story feel.

I'm kind of amazed he still has a job there. What kind of dirt does he have on the powers that be to stay employed?

Any time spent watching CNN and MSNBC or visiting their website is supporting this agenda.

Gotta hand it to Lou Dobbs. He found a way to his TV job 15 years past his expiration date.

Bye, Felicia.

Too #MeToo for Fox News, too racist for everyone else. Have fun on AM radio or wherever the **** unhireable Quisling jizzmoppers go when they're put out to pasture.

Just saw that Megyn Kelly makes $18M a year. Could you imagine how many decent reporters NBC could hire for that same amount?

At this point about half of Lou Dobbs' brain has the utility of that wet, green floral foam. When he sees foreign names he just open-mouth hums and shakes around his elephant labia neck and hopes for the best.

This **** is proof positive that corporate meritocracy is raw bull****. What clowny dipstick manager thought it was a good idea to put Roseanne Barr and Megyn Kelly on network TV in 2018? What out-of-touch exec decided that this wasn't going to backfire and cost the company millions?
