699: 50 Shades of Terror
Ethics in Journalism Awards, Advertising Bias and Network Wars
The hosts critique the existence of "Ethics in Journalism" awards, suggesting that the need for such an award highlights the lack of ethics in the industry. They argue that corporate advertising and ownership—such as Disney's influence on ABC or GE's former ties to NBC—prevent honest reporting. The segment also touches on the "network wars" regarding exaggerated military reporting by anchors.
