Scarborough Laments New Media Outlets That Claim ‘Glenn Beck & Sarah Palin Are Persecuted’

Joe Scarborough Says New Media Has Stopped Compromise in Washington | Glenn BeckRecently, MSNBC morning show host Joe Scarborough gave a candid assessment of his take on the pitfalls of new media.

In a video posted by Accuracy in Media and described by the group as a private “town hall” event in Charleston, South Carolina, the “Morning Joe” host assessed the contemporary media landscape. Aside from lamenting the negative influence he believes modern forms of news and communication are having on the electorate, Scarborough went on to mention Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin as being continuously portrayed as faux victims by various outlets.

As you know, new media outlets, like The Blaze, the Huffington Post and Politico, exist online and, as technologies have progressed, these outlets have grown exponentially in popularity. But for Scarborough, new media outlets are a major barrier to rational debate, as he said during the event that they’ve done “more than anything else to stop compromise in Washington, D.C.”

“I think the biggest problem right now has to do with new media — and I’ll just say that. We’re in a transition,” Scarborough explained. “I wasn’t a big fan of when we just had three networks…sort of a voice of God…and three networks, the New York Times and the Washington Post. They decided what the narrative was and they shoved it down our throats,” he continued.

Here’s where he really delved deeply into the current dilemma he sees with media:

“I think the bigger problem now with new media is that people can select what they want to hear at all times and go searching for a media outlet that conforms with their ideology 100 percent, so they wake up in the morning and they turn on a news channel — a cable channel — that repeats everything they believe and doesn’t question any pre-existing prejudices.”

The phenomenon he’s speaking about here is selective exposure — the notion that individuals expose themselves only to the information that meets their pre-existing views. While this may hold truth to some degree, there is a irony here, as MSNBC, the network Scarborough works for, would qualify as one of the “news channels” he’s targeting. Of course, he wasn’t done describing his qualms, as he continued to delve into the problems he sees with selective exposure.

“And then, if they’re like my mother, they will, at night, just sort of surf the web — for her it’s right-wing web sites that say that poor Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin are persecuted and that Joe Scarborough’s a socialist,” he continued.

Watch his comments, below:

The Blaze does not yet have a full version of his address, but based on these comments, Scarborough seems to have some major issues surrounding the way in which news is consumed. In terms of Scarborough being dubbed a “socialist,” we’re not sure who, exactly, he’s referring to.

This isn’t the first time that Scarborough has mentioned Beck. Back in February 2011, Scarborough said, “[Beck's] bad for the Republican party. He’s bad for Fox News. It’s that simple,” referring specifically to Beck’s work to uncover the socialists, progressives, and unions behind the unrest in Egypt and Wisconsin.

      While It is obvious that the liberal media is biased it is no less true that so called “new media” also carries bias (most of it). What he was saying about people picking a news source that meets their ideology is true. When that news source inevitably lies, omits, or stretches the truth the consumer of that media is duped because they don’t question their favorite sources.

      I think this is equally a failing of ourselves as it is a failing of the media, and shame on us for not doing our own homework. It’s easy to attack the liberal media because their bias is so obvious to us. The bias that plays to our own ideologies and fears is much harder to admit.

      Scarborough is so full of himself. Never in my lifetime has so much crap been thrown at a politician like Gov. Palin. The left filed numerous ethics complaints against her, all of which were dismissed, they’ve broken into her email account, harrassed her children, delved into her past, moved in next door to creepy spy on her family, but don’t you say anything against Obama or his family. So Scarborough, don’t pull your righteous indignation with us because the station you work for is the worst corrupt, cover up so-called media going. You never vetted Obama and look what we suffered with for four years. This country is in a horrible mess.

    I actually see his point here. The reality is that the internet and demographic focused cable channels have enabled us as consumers to watch and/or listen to exactly what we want to here. Over time this reinforces are perceptions. However, I would argue that the left is the party of anger and lies. As a conservative, I have no problem debating another person’s viewpoint, but what I see only too often is bitter resentment. The left has MSNBC, NPR, and pretty much all the main stream media outlets to get their information. The right has FOX, GBTV, and most of talk radio. My point here is that I agree with Joe about the divide being caused with new media, but I would argue that it is more divisive on the left than it is on the right.

      Why would you assume that the big three TV networks as well as the NYT and WaPost ever gave you any real diversity in opinion? One could easily postulate that these entities provided as much objectivity 30 years ago as they do today. Basically, they’ve always promoted a center-left agenda and only the emergence of new media was able to break apart this group-think monopoly.

      The MSM created this environment and now they‘re upset that they’ve lost (or, are losing) control.

      The truth is never the first priority when it comes to news. It is all about spin. And, we’re getting better at recognizing spin. We’re more jaded. Who watches a commercial and believes it at face value? Who watches a news report on politics and believes it at face value?

      Sadly, mis-information/partial facts are the standard around the globe. I watched a BBC story on pollution in Beijing. The conclusion was that China‘s pollution is a result of the USA’s consumerism. Right.

      The MSM could remove of the appeal of Fox or GBTV if they would play both sides of the fence. They won’t. It is ‘sexier’ to spin the stories. They have an agenda. Unfortunately, when they begin to fail, they‘ll be determined to be ’too big to fail.’ Then, we will officially have state-sponsored media… and as a result, the end of alternative news sources.

Do you remember the anal exam he endured when that was discovered? Obama, by his own admission,used cocaine in his twenties, no exam. Palin had a downs syndrome child who the media speculated was actually her daughters baby. How is that vetting? She was also vilified for outsourcing her maternal obligations to others. Not a peep from feminist groups. And the outrage over her the price of her wardrobe was truly mind boggling. Michelle Obama has a wardrobe that would rival that of royalty, not a word! Dan Quayle was ridiculed mercilessly for misspelling potato, to this day he is characterized as an idiot. Obama is commander in chief and doesn’t know the proper pronunciation of the word CORPSMAN! The MSN never even mentioned it! You argue we’ve heard the negative stories about liberals, yes we have. Not through the MSM, but through alternative sources. But for FOX, talk radio and honest internet sites, we would all be in the dark. The point being, the news and the way it’s presented is no longer the sole property of the leftist spin machine.

    Back in the days of the Founders, you also had the same type of selective editing.

    Here is an example of a professed socialist that works for MSNBC, Lawrence O’Donnell, actually reporting a story the right way. Who would have thought it was possible. He hates all anti-government spending candidates (basically fiscal conservatives), but in this story he needs to be given a kudo of some type. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vcn15iZSjQo&feature=youtu.be

    Shame on Associated Press.

    So Joe, you’re saying news media was too small when it was just three networks, and it’s too big now with “new media”? So, we should have just stopped when you got a job at MSNBC? You are a tool…

    The nice thing about the ‘Scarboro vs Mika’ program is that they do try to argue three or four sides to each issue, but the bad thing is that they treat each side with equal respect. Everyone knows when you reach a certain age and have attained sufficient wisdom, that mere facts will not change your beliefs. At least they do not discuss the weather every eleven minutes. Anyway, Morning Joe does qualify as a self righteous info-entertainmental exercise for the truly infirm and those in waiting rooms all across America.

    So Joe has a problem with questioning what people say and trying to figure out where they are coming from? Or is it he just doesn’t like the exposure he and other “socialist” are getting by Glenn? He wants us to go on with our daily life and pretend nothing is going on in the shadows to undermine the Constitution of the USA.”You there, go on about your business, there is nothing to see here…” Not gonna happen Joe, we’re onto you and Barry.

    Joe is nothing more than an irrelevent hack. One of the very few incombent politicians who could not get re-elected.

    Now he wants to lend his expertise to broadcasting. For God’s sake Joe, you have no expertise – no one watches your program. Stp giving advise – try to get some!

    is that why Ailes fired Beck because he’s bad for the republican party? I think he was fired for being crazy

    You know, maybe Colbert was right. Scarborough may well have a serious problem with John Barleycorn.
    It would explain a lot.

      Instead of “selective exposure” we should allow joe to select what we will watch or read or hear. He could program several hours of mandatory viewing per day. For those of us who refuse, they could tie us to chairs and cut off our eyelids, and force us to watch.
      Yep, joe, sounds like you are the new arbiter for freedom of speech in America, so long as it is the speech YOU think is appropriate or proper.

      Tell ya what, joe. If you want “change” start with the man in the mirror.
      Start REPORTING FACTS…
      SANS OPINION…
      then I’ll sit and discuss media bias with you.

      Mika.
      As big a doofus Scarborough is, she may be the biggest dipstick on the air…even worse than Ed Schultz.

      regarding your post, “Mika. As big a doofus Scarborough is, she may be the biggest dipstick on the air…even worse than Ed Schultz” –
      - You are correct; pea brain Mika is certainly not representative of women. Scarecrow legs, a bird brain and 2 plastic boobs. I have never seen her make a valid point on anything. There’s just so much of that “There are others with differing views” and “Do we have that Obama clip?” that viewers can digest. Her only strong point is keeping frisky Joe Happy ;^)
