If -- gets sick but.
The reality here is what's happening is the media are going after company it makes a product is designed to be healthy.
You know designed to prevent us from getting particularly.
So.
What is is it easy and so -- sent to New York Times and some other outlets have gone after.
The beef industry because -- do after they've gone through you -- -- happy to make ground beef.
They also they have -- -- process that it would speak with they do is -- capture the meat that would have been that would have been lost.
And so really you meant to heat up and do we from the the fact.
The very end -- the process they these threats it with.
Money in my dark dark side basically teach you'll E.

And there's a reason for that because it's only a few years back there's an enormous outbreak of E.
Coli there's a recall.
Another company tops.
Recalled more than twenty million pounds of ground beef OK so don't and and I -- -- result.

Industry for being especially safe it's a thought on -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Want people need to treat this the company.
Industry better than you're doing good journalism and journalists are awful all -- Attacked -- to try to remove the product that we've all been eating for years that we all consider to be healthy and see if you think DA considers the ultimate state.
Networks are are going systematically through the companies and the governments -- all it did.
Buy this product buzz me.
Trying to force them to stop.
That results going to be one more company it's got problems needy people whose jobs.
I just get tired of watching the medium systematically through all industries and recognize wanted to -- Why you know I ended journalists that it's hard as we get a -- story isn't in -- -- Pamela notwithstanding.
I I don't know that I can do ten stories -- -- and make it interesting.

But but at the Media Research Center what I want people understand -- What -- Darren and why this is so important as what you really want us as journalists to be doing and you sat next to me many times here.
I'm not -- dot com.
What you want journalists me doing is to be covering the news that matters who is in keeping us safe -- ABC think it anyway -- -- -- that they're keeping us safe but they stores.
And this.
If anything what they've been having that evil but that -- to -- BC is covering thanks a lot.
Well I mean I'm sure ABC you're rationalizing and sell more intrusive -- believes she's the wonderful crusading reporter or remember.
Easy -- very famously got caught.
I think it within the food mine disaster which was a huge black -- let networked it survives today.
Where they work in conjunction with the with the food union that was trying to get -- -- online.
And try and and help -- really damaged who -- And -- resolved in court cases and it's one of those.
Journalistic ethics courses that we teach you don't do this don't don't -- like ABC.
