681: The Christmas Show 2014
Newspaper Editorial Meetings, Media Slant and Native Advertising
The hosts deconstruct the editorial process of major newspapers, where editors-in-chief decide the daily narrative. They argue that modern media slanting is achieved through the selection of news rather than a lack of reporter objectivity. Dvorak critiques MSNBC for being a "pro-Democrat" cheerleader and expresses skepticism about the long-term viability of such biased programming under corporate owners like Comcast.
