A great examination on the tricks the media uses to mislead people

So NA Media not Mainstream Media

Sargon primarily comments on American and British media, being a Brit with substantial interest in American and British politics.

Sargon is actually very positive in general about the BBC, though he has taken on a few of their specific articles or news stories on occasion.

[Raskayz]

Sargon actually doesn't promote the alternative media, he says the people are turning to alternative media because the lies have become so blatant from the mainstream media, that you might as well go where the lies are comforting and where you can pretend you're part of the edgy underground.

So his solution is to switch from TV lies to DIY lies ?

No, that's not his solution. He wants honest media. He's saying this is what people are doing, not what they should do.

Then he says what any sane person already think and i still don't see the point of watching a 18m video about it

Sounds condescending to me...

You'd honestly be surprised how many of my Liberal friends absolutely believe CNN doesn't lie ever.

And my racist, super conservative grandfather and most of his entire town take anything Glenn Beck and Fox News say as gospel truth.

You're vastly overestimating the average news viewer.

Perhaps Brits are just more cynical

It's actually a form of misinformation. People posting long videos, telling you the truth is in there, is not that different than providing thousands of pages of documents and just saying it proves a conspiracy. The point isn't to inform the public, it's for you to value the evidance by not what it contains, but the amount of data that's presented.

Or maybe you associate primarily with cynics and skeptics and are prone to confirmation bias.

Journalists usually have qualifications in journalism....

Except the primary reason the video is 18 minutes is because it contains numerous CNN news clips of 1-3 minutes.

Liberal. Liberal liberal libweal, liberal liberal liberal liberal? Liberal! Libersl liberal liberal liberal liberal liberal.


This is how every one of your posts read. I even threw in a couple misspellings for accuracy.

That doesn't contradict what I said. Notice the bold word of what you said and what you are saying about the contents of the video. When you reply in disagreement to 'value of evidance depending on amount of data, not its contents' with the above... It kinda means something...

I didn't even watch the video, it was a general statement on misinformation. Proof is in the pudding...

You don't get right wing journalists?

Except he explicitly explains why each datapoint is valid, and provides the full context. That's why he has to include so many clips.

Could you write down the name of a politician you currently support and the school they went to?

It's really, really hard to get through most journalistic schools if you lean ideologically right (I don't, at all.) The faculty are overwhelmingly left-leaning and the classes are taught with a clear liberal bias.
