Desperate for ratings, an NBC-owned TV station crusades against a hero
"Consider AOC. She got away with saying there were 10 lynchings of black people this year. The media repeated her without context. X did not. It added a community note to her tweet."
The harpies at NBC10 (WBTS) in Boston have the name, rank and serial number of the juror who believed Lindsay Clancy when she said she killed her children. The outlet is owned and operated by NBC. Station personnel have no legal right to know his name and in fact, may have violated the law in obtaining the name.
Nevertheless, NBC10 is airing a string of stories about his divorce and his financial woes in an effort to discredit him.
The station is going after the juror because his refusal to go-along-to-get-along and acquit her is unpopular among the liberals who dominate the area. The station’s management is using the juror to attract viewers and advertisers to the station’s broadcasts.
NBC10 is usually last in the ratings among the five English-language local newsrooms behind WCVB (ABC), WHDH (independent), WBZ (CBS) and WFXT (Fox) in that order—and has been fifth in this five-channel race since 2017.
Oh, I am sure the reporters going after the man believe they are heroes in their crusade to expose a private citizen who did his duty and served on a jury. Wait, since 9/11, journalists no longer call themselves crusading journalists. They say investigative reporters instead.
Besides, exposing the hero’s record just may be the ticket out of Beantown to network stardom.
"But the station is undermining the integrity of the judiciary. Far from being helpful, in Boston, NBC10’s freedom of the press is doing serious damage to our country
"NBC10 should not know the juror’s name because the judge impounded the list of the names of jurors. His fellow jurors likely ratted him out. The station justifies its use of his name and its unethical attacks on his reputation by saying, well, at least we’re not disclosing his name.
"But we are hearing only one side of the story." . . . More.
"Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said, “A man objected to allowing a woman to kill her three young kids and get away with it, so NBC is trying to smear that juror, whose identity should be protected. Another low for legacy media."
We must recall that NBC was once the famous MSNBC; now MSNOW. TD
