NBCNews Exhibits More Biased Reporting

On an appearance on BuzzFeed News morning show “AM to DM.”, Jillian MIchaels stated "Why are we celebrating her body? Why does it matter? Why aren’t we celebrating her music?”“Because it isn’t going to be awesome if she gets diabetes.”  "there's never been a moment where I'm like, 'And I'm so glad she's overweight.'"

 NBCNews was outraged. They produced an article titled "Jillian Michaels criticized for saying Lizzo's body shouldn't be 'celebrated"

 The article included statements such as
 Honestly can the world just get off Lizzo’s d--- already? The woman can outrun, out dance, out sing, out sex, out earn and out do most of the wastes of space who pointlessly take time out of their day to criticize her," "The Good Place" actress Jameela Jamil tweeted.
 Lizzo is celebrated because not only is she talented, she shows other girls to love themselves no matter what," Tony Posnanaski, an artist, wrote on Twitter. "Jillian Michaels can only trend for being an a------." 
"@JillianMichaels participates in the diet industry & profits from us hating our bodies. Don’t listen to her," Sami Schalk, an assistant professor of gender & women’s studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, tweeted. "You can be fat & healthy. Besides, health is not a barometer for a person’s value.
Though a number of people agreed with Michaels in the comment section of the post, others said that she should not be commenting on Lizzo's body unless she's the singer's doctor.
The  statement from  the University of Madison feminist professor is outright fraud. Fat is NOT healthy.

NBCNews attempted to smear Michaels.

However,the public response appears to support Michaels not NBCNews. For example, liberal Yahoonews wrote an article titled 'Jillian Michaels criticized for ‘gross’ comments on Lizzo’s body'  This article was similar to the NBCNews article in attempting to smear Michaels.  However, the public overwhelmingly sided with Michaels and blasted Yahoonews. The top comments appear below.



The NBCnews article is another example of the media promoting its own agenda rather than facts and objectivity.
