NBC complaint: Manipulation and unfairness in public journalism

Open 180 views Broadcasting Network

Filed 16 Oct 2020 by Madir

During the town hall meeting, NBC’s camera team focused the camera 95% on the upper body of Donald Trump. With that angle, a fairly young, attractive female wearing a white dress and a red mask was present in the right upper corner of the screen in plain view behind the president in the first row. This lady was almost constantly nodding her head and also showing other signs of support during the broadcast. The angle of the camera never was changed to blend her out (which would have been easy to accomplish).
I am sure that all your technicians and camera people are very well versed in the effectiveness of presenting visual clues to influence viewers’ perception and thereby inserting filters of how the presented material is processed. Advertising has made this their most treasured asset.
I strongly feel that NBC has done a great disservice to the public. I am very upset about this unconscientious way of presenting and glorifying FAKE NEWS, the presidents’ aggressive attempt to disseminate a barrage of lies, half- quarter-truths, and twisted facts.
