With Trump in office, how much self -censorship of television networks?

Actor George Clooney said: “When the other three real estate fails, when the judiciary, the executive authority and the legislative branches fail us, the fourth property must succeed.” Last Sunday on CBS’s 60 minutesThe best TV news program in America for 50 years. Clooney was strengthening his appearance in Broadway production from Good night, and we wish you successHis 2005 movie on Edward R. Moro, the legendary broadcaster of CBS News, who stood in the fifties of the last century McCarthy. Clooney added that the lesson from that era applies today as well, as Clooney added: “The press must be launched and the truth is informed of power, such as war, this does not happen by mistake. It takes it people who say:” We will do these stories and you have to come after us. “

Unfortunately, the main TV networks in America sent the completely opposite message to cover it for the return of the NASA astronauts who were cut off to Earth. Media writer Al -Nisr Oliver Darcy revealed the details in NewsletterFocusing on the refusal of ABC News, CBS News, NBC News and CNN to contact the water body [the astronauts] It was launched to … the Gulf of Mexico, the name of the water feature since the sixteenth century. “

“Instead,” Darssi continued, “TV news organizations are equivalent to a knot, and the performance of the linguistic gymnastics to stay outside Donald Trump’s clips, while she was also wandering around the masses that were sure to be angry at their vision of the knee and called” the Gulf of America “.

The opposite question of climate reports is almost asking himself: Will American broadcasters now be very sensitive about saying as the fact that the long -standing science that changes climate is very real and dangerous, and mainly causes fossil fuel burning? Will news institutions stop using the term “climate change” completely, and now that Trump has removed it from many government sites? Such self -censorship will not only mislead the audience, but also betray the civil responsibility of the press to accountability. “The words are the front lines of the truth,” Darcy wrote, and as soon as it is waived, it becomes much easier for the powerful like Trump to form reality. “

The deepest problem is that journalists are under pressure not only from Trump but from the owners of companies. Darcy argued that it is not a coincidence that ABC, CBS, NBC and CNN were all surrendered by employing “off the coast of Florida” or other expressions of the Gulf of Mexico. He pointed out that the news radio operations have “sections of standards” that govern what journalists can and cannot say on the air – the expressions that answer the heads of companies.

It is understood that television networks want to keep their access to the White House. But Trump has an irreplaceable passion for attention and wants TV cameras inside the White House as much as networks. Instead of moving to its ridiculous demands, television networks and their owners may want to remember a lesson from the primary school: Do not stand at the level of fatwa only encourages more bullying.

Also keep in mind the fact that the climate coverage is moving now 89 percent project: The vast majority of the world’s population – 80 to 89 percent, according to recent sciences – activating their governments to take stronger climatic measures. This overwhelming majority is only one indication of many that tyranny in Trump, like his long -term denial, is not common for the audience with the news of television in certain goals. It is likely to tend to cover better climate in attracting this group audience instead of bending the knee to a dictator.
