EXPERT BRIEFINGS

The Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ) Code of Ethics imposes duties on journalists to “seek truth and report it,” as well as provide “thorough” information and “context”.  The Code also states, “The public is entitled to as much information as possible to judge the reliability and motivations of sources.” The following journalists failed to accept expert briefings when offered after publishing uninformed stories:

‘CAIR is a Civil Rights Organization’ (no, it’s a Muslim Brotherhood front group; the CAIR briefing goes into great detail)
  • R. Stickney – WNBC-TV4 (New York, NY)
  • Monika Diaz (Managing Editor) and  Sara Zendehnam – Fox40-TV (Sacramento, CA)
  • Alex Schroeder – Boston Globe
  • Carla Hinton – NewsOK.com (Oklahoma)
  • Jardine Malado – Christian Times
  • Christopher Mathias – Huffington Post
  • NPR News
Sharia (the sharia briefing covers, among other things, taqiyya, hijra, and dawa - Muslim religious duties to lie, colonize, and prepare the ground for jihad):
  • Theresa Churchill – Herald & Review (Decatur, IL) (a Lee Enterprises property)
  • Bryan McKenzie - Daily Progress (Charlottesville, VA)
  • Colter Anstaett -  WSLS-TV Roanoke, VA
  • Jim Axelrod - CBS News
  • Donn Esmonde – Buffalo News

ON PROBATION (with one strike)
  • CNN UPGRADED TO PROBATION – CNN tilted left for many years, but recently changed tack by adding more conservative commentators to its programming. Observers say the change is real. CNN’s president Jeff Zucker told the Wall Street Journal, "I think it was a legitimate criticism of CNN that it was a little too liberal. We have added many more middle-of-the-road conservative voices to an already strong stable of liberal voices. And I think that we are a much more-balanced network and, as a result, a much more inviting network to a segment of the audience that might not have otherwise been willing to come here."
  • Strike One (July 2016) – CNN played six times as many Democratic pre-produced videos than Republican pre-produced videos during the national conventions.  NewsBusters
SPOILER ALERT – The Daily Show
Advice from Megan McArdle and Peter Schiff: Don’t go on the Daily Show. The Daily Show is guilty of:
  • lying to interview subjects
  • ambushing them with irate activists
  • editing out of context
  • refusing to let interview subjects bring witnesses
  • refusing to release entire interviews so people can judge context of remarks for themselves
  • misrepresenting comments made in jest as serious assertions of fact
  • affording multiple takes to interview subjects with whom they agree ideologically but not giving the same courtesy to ideological opponents
  • refusing to comment when called out on these practices

The Daily Show deliberately tries to make people look like fools, for laughs.  Stay away.
