Here’s my conversation with veteran TV newswoman Bonnie Anderson about her book, “News Flash,” in which she says that TV news is no longer about journalism and the truth, and it’s not about a liberal or conservative bias — the only bias in TV news is towards the bottom line.
She discusses the hiring practices, the lack of ethics, and the lack of delineation between news and entertainment. Bonnie also explains why she withheld information while covering the Waco siege, and how a top CNN executive was wrong to suppress information about atrocities in Iraq and Cuba just to maintain the network’s relationship with their governments. This is the book the network news divisions don’t want you to read!
