Bertiromo believed he was visiting Dennis Organ, president and CEO of Smithfield Foods, the world’s largest self-proclaimed pork producer. In fact, she was visiting Matt Johnson, the press coordinator of Animal Rights Group Direct Action everywhere. For six minutes.
The confusion will hardly be the first time Bartiromo has made headlines for his defiant behavior on the show. Wednesday’s incident follows several sections of Bertiromo’s show in recent weeks, expanding the conspiracy theories about the election without any pushback.
Frequent errors and misinformation by Bertiromo indicate editorial standards and a lack of factual scrutiny. A quick internet search for Smithfield’s CEO will draw attention to the company’s official leadership site, which includes a photograph of the organ – which looks nothing like Johnson (the organ is balding redhead; Johnson, not good.)
Responding to a request for comment, a Fox News spokeswoman pointed to the Bertiromoni-no-air correction, where he promised to be more vigilant.
Keira Fischer, chief administrative officer of Smithfield Foods, said in a statement that the Fox business broadcast a segment that was a complete flurry. “A simple Google search for a photo of our CEO prevented this from happening. This allowed false information to be transmitted and Fox apologized for this complete pause.”
An insane .ong interview
The interview on Wednesday started off smoothly enough. Bertiromo asked his guest about the company’s plans for the Covid-19 outbreak and vaccine distribution at the Smithfield Foods South Dakota plant. Johnson (representing the organization) responded, as did the CEO, with conspiracies about the company’s commitment to providing “comprehensive personal protective equipment” to “dedicated and resilient” staff, “courageous” workers and employees. Nothing to see here. Though.
Two minutes after the interview, things took a turn.
“As the new CEO and President of Smithfield, I personally promise that we will continue to do better, and the first change under my leadership is transparency and, at the same time, ruthless honesty.”
Johnson said the food industry could contribute to the upcoming epidemic, arguing the farm is a “petri dish” for infectious diseases. During all the interviews between Dhoom Machawi, Pause, “Excitement” and “You Know”, Jones certainly did plenty to save Bertiromo and his staff from claiming he wasn’t.
At the end of his show, Bertiromo issued an update.
“We apologize to Dennis Organ, Smithfield Foods and our audience for making this mistake,” he said. “We will, of course, be more vigilant.”
History of misinformation
On November 29, Bertiromo gave his first TV interview to President Donald Trump since the election, and the conversation was flooded with lies and conspiracy theories that went unchecked. Bertiromo opened the interview by saying “the facts are on your side”. The president erroneously said that the election was rigged, then Bertiromo said, “This is disgusting and we do not allow the American election to be corrupted.”
Last week, Bertiromo said “an Intel source” tells me that President Trump actually won the election, although Fox called for Biden. Election officials, the U.S. Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security have said the election There was no widespread fraud.
She frequently exposed conspiracy theories and misinformation about the irregularities of the voting machine on Fox News – the software was used to manipulate the election and that there was a direct link between the voting machine companies in America and the liberal philanthropist billionaire George. Soros. Fox programs hosted by Battiromo, as well as host Jeanne Piro and Lou Lou Dobbs, were later legally threatened by voting technology company SmartMatics, which accused News of participating in a “disinformation campaign” against the network, then denied the claims. Executed.
