A freelance left-wing journalist has been recorded claiming 'websites are taking orders from Nancy Pelosi', some left-wing websites traffic in '20% exaggerated or fabricated content' and that 'bad journalism is rewarded'.You can listen to the audio, or download it as an mp3, from the link below:A transcript of some segments of the audio is also provided later in this article, but for background, here's an introduction first of all from the person who recorded the audio:There's quite a bit of background noise on the recording, but here are some of the most significant quotes from the audio:"...a lot of those sites, when Iones who make conference calls with Nancy Pelosi, it's all those damn sites. All of them. They're all taking orders from Pelosi. And I hate to say it, but it's mostly Nancy Pelosi's sister. And Nancy trusts her sister to understand the social media, so Nancy spent most of the time just thanking everybody on the call for that.""It's clickbait, and so much of it is so hyperbolic that, like, we're going to reach a moment where no-one can figure out what the hell is true anymore, you know, on both the left and the right. And both the left and right, people just don't trust anyone.""These sites that traffic in 80% true news and 20%, you know, fabricated or exaggerated content and those are the ones, like, are democrats that have 800,000 facebook followers.""It actually talks about politicians citing it. That's the part that is most troubling. It's one thing when someone goes and shares it with their family and friends on facebook, but when you have, like, a lawmaker citing it, and it's stuff that is, like, slapped together by someone who doesn't even now how to write.""And it just shows you that bad practice is rewarded over and over and over again, you know, because like my traffic is down from two years ago. You know, I think that our stories have more impact than they've ever been, because other outlets have. In terms of people actually visiting the site and staying on it, it is way down. It is way down, but those sites are super successful.""You know that there's a bill to designate them terrorists.It's called the Muslim Brotherhood something Registration Act."Other segments include:"I'm listed as moderator status on that one Trump group. I just wanted to call myself out as moderator. This is just... This thing's a mess, you know. I don't know who wrote it but the graphic on it was one of those - pardon my French - but you know those pussy hats they make. The ones with they usually, yeah, they use tin foilinstead of the crochet. It was a good graphic."Likely talking about this article: How the left lost its mind. "So Pro Publica's kind of waiting on more regarding the White House visitor log story, and the Eric Trump Foundation documents story has kind of stalled. I mean, I guess it's because it's a holiday weekend. Dave Zirin just passed it off to his editor, and then The Nation wanted to do something in general and I wasn't trying to pitch it to the Nation ... so I kind of don't want to take it to The Nation ... and I'm wondering if you're still interested.""Could I ask you another question? Would you be willing to go on MSNBC if you wrote a story for the New Yorker to talk about your story. Because I have spoken to Diane Shamis - she's the producer for Chris Hayes - and they are reviewing some of the stuff, but I mean they're not going to write about it so, like, they wanna do, like, some sort of night with talking about it so if you wereand then I could try to also pitch Ryan to talk aboutmore generally to be on the panel with me. It's been pulling teeth trying to get MSNBC. Every time I post something to them they're interested and they write back asking for Jason. It's really strange. It's like Jason has become thewith MSNBC and some of the more mainstream outlets and he's literally getting all of his documents from us.""No, MSNBC always call journalists commentators. I think they feel there's a certainhaving a journalist... I don't know. Pro Publica had the same trepidation. They wanted to make sure they're not getting caught up in partisan activism, so we had to show them a whole lot of funding and stuff like that, you know. And I admitted to them over the phone I've been in two Democrat fund raisers, just because they're interested in our work, particularly about drug users."- - - - - - - - - -Once again, you can download the audio from the following link:
