Scientists critical of broadcast media were vetoed from the evaluation committee.

Evidence

Finch explained that each network was allowed to veto, without explanation, any of the nominees on the list submitted by professional associations and the broadcast networks. I was one of eight researchers, including Len Berkowitz, Percy Tannenbaum, the child psychiatrist Leon Eisenberg, and the sociologists Leo Bogart and Otto Larsen, who were vetoed. Finch provided two justifications for the veto procedure—precedent and objectivity. — Albert Bandura, Moral Disengagement, 908
