As a guest for public radio's 'On the Media' this week, I tried to explain how the propaganda method known as "flooding the zone with shit" is still bedeviling Anerican newsrooms.

I also respond to Anderson Cooper's "get out of your silo" lecture after CNN's town hall debacle with Trump.

It's a 12 minute listen: https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm/segments/cnn-impossible-dilemma-on-the-media

And if you do listen, let me know what you thought. Thanks.

@jayrosen_nyu While CNN is “trying to figure it out”, CBSN, CBS, and PBS Newshour seem to have no issue reporting without the drama. People(me) are tired of the dramatic opinionizing of facts. I can also read about an issue on NYTimes, Economist etc in 3 paragraphs without the need for hour after hour cable news emotion. Forget about the Fox crowd. The minute you introduce an ounce of facts they will leave.
