Kari Lake, and the danger of local news anchors jumping into politics
Columbia Journalism Review ^ | 08/02/2022 | John Allsop

LAST YEAR, Kari Lake, a news anchor at Fox 10, a local TV station in Phoenix, announced in a video posted to social media that, following a period of leave, she had made the difficult decision to quit journalism. “Sadly, journalism has changed a lot since I first stepped into a newsroom, and I’ll be honest—I don’t like the direction it’s going,” Lake said. “I found myself reading news copy that I didn’t believe was fully truthful, or only told part of the story, and I began to fear that I was contributing to the fear and division in this country by continuing on in this profession.”

I read through that long-winded boring summation of local anchors entering politics, and he never manages to get around "the danger" he promises to discuss.

The only thing he hints at is that those taking this route seem to him to be "disproportionately Republican". Poor kid.

Think of all the rats from all walks of life were perfectly fine running for office, even the ones with a single brain cell in their head or none at all and the right color of coarse

In Rochester, NY, the most toxic liberal on the county legislature is a former TV reporter named Rachel Barnhart.

Yes, I think they are so scared because she has the potential to actually investigate the fraud going on.

If she gets a good look under the hood, the jig could be up for all of them in all the states.

I suspect CA is actually red, if votes were counted properly. Same for WA and other states.

Well, lets hope Kari beats the logarithm. Its a close fake squeeze, we should know today. Every time she is ahead, the counting stops so thay can “find “ more votes against her.

Columbia Journalism, lol. Now that is an unbiased source!

How about the danger of journalists engaging in propaganda?

They fear her. And they should.

A little late to be mewling about news people “getting into politics”, which there is more than one way to do. See Walter Cronkite.

Yes, and I don’t recall any of the news outlets here labeling her a far left extremist.

The one thing we can always count on the radicalize Marxist left to do is play the victim card.

Whether it’s gender, color, race, nationality, toenail paint color, whatever, they will find a way to play the victim thereby espousing virtue.

So predictable and so consistent.

They fear Lake because she could detail how the Network hands down the script from the DNC to plant the alleged truth to those who still believe the MSM isn’t biased.

What a hoot. A large percentage of “news anchors” “jump into politics” during every broadcast and interview.

Is the writer upset that non-elite “local” people are jumping line on their “national” betters? Or, as others have posted, is it just that the locals who succeed tend to be conservative?

Meanwhile, I see that Ted Baker, who left WFLR for Fingerlakes 1, has come out as a lefty blogger: https://www.fingerlakes1.com/2022/08/03/the-baker-blog-free-market-has-a-solution-for-the-labor-shortage-opinion/

Funny how the “objective” reporters, once they move into opinion, always turn out to be progressives.

Oh no, we can’t have TV personalities running for office. We need them to read the Bull💩 we are trying to sell to the public...

To the Left it’s the other way around. First you work for the government then you become a TV Personality.

The “margin of fraud” seems like one of those quaint old sayings from the past, since we are now in an era where Democrats are willing to turn in vote counts that are 200% of the number of registered voters in a district.
