NBC’s Tur: The ‘Corporatist, Globalist Media,’ Has Never Influenced My Reporting

‘That should be a comforting thought for our viewers’

NBC's Katy Tur: Bannon's Opponent, The "Corporatist Globalist Media," Has Never Influenced My Reporting (RealClearPolitics)

NBC reporters Kelly O'Donnell and Katy Tur discuss White House adviser Stephen Bannon's statement that the corporatist globalist media opposes Donald Trump's economic nationalism for self-interested reasons.

"It is quite a mouthful," O'Donnell says about the phrase. "But it is the idea that media is owned by corporations that have other interests, and do not want this notion of the United States being something other than a global figure in economic terms."

"This is core Steve Bannon ideology," O'Donnell said. "This is one of the key things -- his opposition to the media, his belief that the media in a broad way has too muhc of a corporate view, and those corporate CEOs believe in globalism for their shareholders' benefit, and that somehow influences the editorial side."
