What is wrong with this picture???
What is wrong with this picture? A national news source released a story about the quality of beef produced by Beef Products, Inc. within their four facilities. The source gives a very negative picture of the process and injects degrading words and demonstrates a theatrical untrue process. To the best of my knowledge the national news source has yet to report the BPI side of the story.
It is my understanding that the news reporter from such national news source was provided factual information and web-sites available to explain and demonstrate the process. If the reporter has reviewed any of the material, they have not made the other side of the story known to the viewing public. This reporter was provided with the opportunity to tour one of BPI facilities in South Sioux City, Nebraska and to ask questions on the tour and in a news conference that followed. Still no publication or story of the BPI side has been presented.
I had the opportunity to tour the local BPI facility and found it to be the cleanest facility I have ever had the opportunity to visit. The process used by BPI has all been approved by government agencies and meat inspectors are visible in the plant to ensure all safety measures are taken to protect the public. BPI has built a cold storage facility to store product until all tests prove that the product to be safe for human consumption.
What is wrong with the story is that a national news reporter and the national news source have not reported news, but reverted to a “smear campaign”.
I would like to applaud the other media outlets, both local and national, that have taken the time to review the facts and have provided both sides of the story to the reading and viewing public.
