Hilarious And Depressing Video Exposes How Phony Local TV News Has Become
Conan O’Brien shows how America’s #1 source of news has been infiltrated by press release garbage.
But what if the local news Americans are consuming isn’t trustworthy? What if some newscasts are actually more focused on selling a product than informing the public?
“Ripping and reading”—a nickname for the practice of taking a press release and reading it on air—is a disturbing trend that has disseminated on local newscasts. In December, comedian Conan O’Brien took on the practice in a hilarious segment featuring a spree of local news anchors reading the same words from a press release about Christmas gifts.
What is causing this rise in local news journalists sharing content that is often ripped straight from a press release? In 2011, the press advocacy organization Free Press published a reporttitled “Outsourcing the News” that documented how consolidation was leading newsrooms to share critical resources and often the exact same content, no matter who the audience. It runs through various case studies where increasing consolidation among news stations is creating identical content.

Instead of Saturday night live You man now call it ” Seven days a Week”.
LMFAO ok I admit it.
But Honestly that is really sad. This is what it has come to? Last time I saw TV or mainstreet media was 2006. Conan your watching the obsolete elephant.
It’s because the local affiliates get their “news” from the Parent Broadcasters which are controlled by just 6 to 9 owners.
News is social engineering.
Uh yea, DUH. I’ve known this for years. I knew it as soon as I noticed that all local news studio sets look a like. All mainstream news comes from the AP. It’s all consolidated. There is no competition amongst media outlets for viewers because they are all consolidated. They all read the same tele-prompter script. duh duh duh.
Why is the news in every state scripted? Hypnotic, repetitive, scripted lies told over and over. People, we all should be mad about this, its an insult to each and every one of us.
Folks. Don’t trust these videos. It’s just up here to make me look bad.
No you do not understand , looking bad is no longer your issue LOL what can I say to make you feel better, hmmm, wait I got it, Let me give you some change that you can believe in LLLLLLooooolllll
Churnalism! I hate this stuff. churnalism.com has a great search engine for comparing news articles to press releases and highlighting the copypasted paragraphs.
They all read White House approved scripts. Nothing but puppets parroting what their overlords tell them to spew. Media whores, all of them
ok I admit it that I came back to this article so I can laugh my ass of one more time or 10 LOL
And for this they received a college degree???????????????? Come ON, NO way. Admit it.
