"If you do not read newspapers, you are uninformed. If you do read newspapers, you are misinformed." Mark Twain.
Denzel Washington said the same but he changed it to news channels
Samuel Clemens had great turns of phrase.
fuck I said the same thing except with watching the news.
Hahaa.🤣. Well said.

“During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a Revolutionary Act.”
~George Orwell
the river of deceit pulls down
In today's age that's a fact
Look at today's media
Whose truth?
@@justinmorgan2126 The truth that is backed up by facts, evidence & genuine thinking. For example: Men cannot become pregnant.
@@BOSS_1417 Did you just state a fact? THE REVOLUTION HAS BEGUN!!!!
That short bit at the beginning of Alfred Hitchcock is spot on! The media has been doing that ever since they began.
The one that stood out immediately was the cover of Time with the little immigrant girl crying and Trump standing there like he didn't care.
It's a film school lesson from courses that teach the use of film and film editing
"Orange Cheeto Man is the DEVIL!!! ...I saw a well-edited, pre-selected, carefully comprised piece of footage from the mainstream media that perfectly depicted him that way!!!" 🤣

Or Not... Yeah count dankula...
I was on the news. Did a 5 minute interview that was cut down to 20 seconds out of context.
Yep, same for me when I was interviewed for a newspaper feature. My conversation was taped, chopped, and I was shocked at 'what I'd claimed.' Last time I bought a paper.
My awakening started when my brother went to fight in Iraq. I was so worried for him and started watching the news constantly. The local NBC news would say one thing, and the national NBC news, immediately after, would cut up the longer segments and imply another perspective. Literally within 10 minutes of each other. I have watched for discrepancies ever since, and once you do that, there is no going back. Blatant lies on all subjects every day. They also tend to favor a particular ideology.
@@debbiehenri345 WOW! It's almost like a JOKE!
@@debbiehenri345 Heh when I was around 11 I was in a taxi when our vehicle struck another car that had hit a lampost overturned and spun back into the road. The latter car was driven by a single woman and the paper decided to report it as a mother and child this being despite the fact that unlike the woman I had zero physical injuries. Sure I was with the paramedics also at the time the reporters walked past as they were checking me over for signs of delayed shock and being bothered constantly with me asking questions about various bits of equipment lol. Clearly, that is just the angle they wanted to go with though as I was clearly animated and conversational and a single question would have clarified who was in which vehicle. Could have asked the taxi driver also as they were similarly uninjured and in a fit condition to be interviewed by police at the scene. But no the facts might have contradicted a good narrative so guess it was easier just to not bother to enquire.
Same
It's a shame the people who need to see this the most won't have the attention span to get through the whole video.
So true. Some are stuck thinking that what they know/think, their opinions/beliefs/theories are the "right" ones. Never being able to get past a headline or different view to actually be respectful or open to an opposed opinion. They can't & won't accept that their opinions/way of life aren't right or wrong just like the opposite side isn't. However, 1 side is more accepting & understanding than the other. Even though it's always the most disliked side that's the more rational & calm.
Lmao you meant to say they don't have enough attention span to make it to the first commercial
@@H.Liddell 🤣🤣 you literally defined the position of the modern left while maligning the "right" thinkers by using quotation marks. 🤣🤣 I know, I know... I'm not entitled to an opinion... Sorry 😁

@@H.Liddell Here in my Nation this "Brainwashing" of the media is so rampant that even my Elementary books had propaganda in them. Thank goodness I was dumb back then so I didn't pay any attention to it.

@Toby Thompson One of what people? Enlightened? If you think Trump is a proponent of the "establishment," you aren't using your brain accurately. I mean he is the PotUS, but Trump has cut funding to the establishment, keeping money in the pockets of the people. Whether you agree with Trumps policies or not, he is one politician that accomplished all of things he said he was going to do before getting elected. On the other hand, playing marxist politics to separate Americans has been working well for the dnc and msm, just look at this comment section. Virtue signalling about people calling the corona virus the "Wuflu" or "Chinese virus," when every disease or virus in the past has been named by the origin of outbreak. They chose this narrative while millions of people are out of their jobs; they're communists sympathizers spreading a narrative that makes headlines about not being racist with a fucking name of a virus??... The ones sending this narrative down the pipe of msm don't share the same concerns of the American people, because they are elected government officials, they can do the worst job in the world and they are still rewarded with a petition and health benefits for the rest of their life. All paid by us, the people that have to listen to this bullshit while working our asses off.
@@grantduke318 Trump is also working hard to fix things and his efforts are being appreciated. A working society needs citizens who are worthy of that label and not slaves who are being worked into the ground.
Its been my experience, people don't want the truth, they want someone to confirm their biases. That's why people don.t dig deeper.
That is exactly why the new media via the internet allows each of us to cherry pick our 'truth'. It's a pretty insidious trap as we all spot 'propaganda' in the stories we want to find it in, yet digest and parrot other propaganda because it supports our cognitive bias. Thanks for pointing that out.
YEP. That's why whenever someone tells me that they only watch one news source because it's the "only one they'll believe" I basically disregard anything they have to say about said subject.
That's why you watch both sides of sources
No, people want the truth. The "people" you are talking about, aren't people - they are cattle.
A whole new video on the visual tricks that mainstream media use would be interesting. Have you noticed how they photograph people they don't like from below, but people they do like from above?
If you think it is just the mainstream media, think again. Favorite trick of the even-more-blatant far right and far left media. Including even more obvious cherry picking, and headline-blaring techniques.
Black teen arrested: show his mug shot
White teen arrested: show his high school graduation picture

Weather is more accurate than ANYTHING else that's reported.
@@RoxDZoro at least with weather they have no reason to lie to you

Take Care All
I think they have to do it for legal reasons
I hope CZcams doesn't demonetize his channel over this.
Wouldn't surprise me if they did.
We will all support him through Patreon, im already happily supporting 3 other free media outlets. We all gotta help out abit.
2.5 million subscribers and only 80k views after 8 hours.... I think demonetization is the least of his problems now, looks like he got put in the youtube penalty box. This is what happens when you have an opinion on here.
JONAHonTHEhill hadn’t had a single add. So yeah i guess youtube did it again
When it comes to almost all MSM with the exception of RT, perception always trumps Reality.
"We attempted to ask the alleged molester for his side of the story, but he did not respond to our calls at 3:00am."
And that’s when almost all of us would say “because you called him at 3:00AM you one sided idiots” lol
I see the quotation marks who are you quoting?
@@patricklink8527 Not a direct quote, of course, and I don't want to make fun of actual victims having the courage to come forward. Just that so many one-sided news stories make lame attempts to get the other side of the story and pass off allegations as fact.
@@patricklink8527quotation marks are not just used to quote people. They are used to represent speech or phrases as well.
He was obviously using them as speech marks on this occasion.
No, they would leave out the time.
The insights and information in this video are shocking. After viewing this I've become much more aware of the specific manipulation techniques of the press. I actually noticed this today during the US Press Secretary's conference. The press questions were totally skewed with massive manipulation- I actually found myself yelling at the T.V. My wife was shocked by the press questions I pointed out. This video should be mandatory viewing for everyone- no matter what your political leanings.! Thank you for your work.
It took this video for you to figure this out? The way they treated Trump made it obvious to the rest of us. Glad you could catch up.
Now follow the white rabbit and take the red pull ;)
@@PoopaChallupa It's funny that it took you that long since you reference Trump. The left has been doing it to Trump, MTG, Cruz etc in the same way the right does it to Biden, AOC, Hillary etc. If it took you til Trump to figure that out then you're clearly in a echo chamber of your own.
Haha it didn't take long for me to find the inevitable Trump defence in the comments. The guy was/is a lying narcissitic egomaniac, of course the media trashed him. They do it to everyone, always have, but he made himself such an easy target it was laughable.
The whole point in questions at a press conference is to challenge what's being said (which is generally a politician's exercise in manipulating us themselves) and stoke emotion to sell papers/clicks.
The job of a well-media-trained/intelligent spokesperson it to counter those questions with measured, calculated responses to combat that manipulation.
Trump doesn't have any of those qualities, so he just threw tantrums and complained that he was being bullied. It would have been hilarious if he didn't have the nuclear football in reach...
Look, the most obvious manipulation technique is that the media will just repeat the same exact thing, over and over and over again - without any evidence of it being true.
"weapons of mass destruction" - that for the Iraq War. "Qaddafi is about to cause a humanitarian crisis" that was for bombing Libya. "Assad is gassing his own people", that was for Syria. "Safe and effective", and you know what THAT was for.
These are MARKETING campaigns. The purpose of so-called news, isn't to inform you, it's simply to convince you.
I'm honestly surprised CZcams hasn't taken this video down yet
CZcams is not that much of an totalitarian, but I understand the worrying
@red leader's fav dude How on earth could a Husband and Bride kissing on their wedding day be interpreted as 'Hate Speech'... if anything that is 'Love Speech'..... 😙
@red leader's fav dude That's crazy, why do homosexual people have more rights then heterosexual people.... I don't exactly like the fact that every new TV show / movie that comes out these days, features homosexuality that I am forced to watch. When I see two dudes kissing on screen, I get grossed out and turn the TV off, but I don't make formal complaints of being offended by it.
@red leader's fav dude Yeah I don't think it's right to force new age world "morality standards" on people who don't agree with it, such as Christians.. and pretend it is okay.
@@allisterhenderson3380 yeah what gets me is they want their views and ideas forced down our throats whether we like it or not, and if we don't like it then we're horrible disgusting people who are irredeemable.
Like you're sexist if you don't want to date a transgender.
And they say it's because they are oppressed and we have white privilege.
This is what education should look like.
Unfortunately the reality doesn't live to our expectation ( except for finlandia)
I agree However what I can't figure out is why education doesn't look like this
Agreed. ANYTHING is better than mainstream nowadays.
@Toby Thompson Examples of misleading and lying in this video please
@Toby Thompson this guy is proving how easy it is to lie to people in very small ways. You're just going to sit there and say that that's all fake? You hate facts dont you?
A wonderful and timely exposing of media manipulation. As a wise man once said, "Learn to Discern!"
"Man hit by a Truck and in a critical condition died from Covid-19."
This man was shot 15 times in the face... It was obviously covid with the gun
Fact check: The man might have survived if he didn't have Covid-19. Though he had a punctured lung, brain swelling, lost three pints of blood, and heart failure ensued; his death has been confirmed by the experts as Covid-19 and you are not allowed to question the official narrative. Errr.... I meant official report.
@@Hito_Hito_Fruit_model_UncleSam it was a Covid gun. Don't question the narrative; just believe in it.
That's what they're doing in the hospitals and rest home when people die now. They're bodies are being labeled with covid 19 whether they died from covid or not.
They’re not saying he died from COVID, they’re saying he had COVID at the time when he died. There’s a difference, one that everybody who thinks the news is lying is so quick to overlook. The news may change the way a stat is given to make a certain point stand out, but it’s rarely flat out false information.
This stuff should be taught early in every school.
Ummm... Who funds the schools?
We have to do "Current events", which is finding a news article about a given topic, reinforcing news propaganda.
They teach us that in Irans schools
Yes especially about the inverted graphs and starting at a base level,and percentages, just look at ebay a new user with feedback ( a couple of negatives+ to a seasoned seller with quite few negatives

I’m not suppose to give my opinion.....BUT

pew news is kinda pointless cause it only focuses on the "oopsies" people make and never the good things trump is doing.
Plus..
"Experts claim or believe"..." or "According to some experts"

"Reports suggest..."
And who and where are these experts? Are they just a fiction of imagination in the reporters' vaseline heads?
Sometimes 'sources say'
Thoughty2, you my friend are a legend. I've wanted to see this broken down and explained succinctly for a long time because I myself, failed.
And this is why I stopped watching TV years ago. The news is just people above pushing their personal agenda's.
Now people do it online. Lol
Fox News, Info Wars, CNN, Natural News, and so on have obvious flaws. It is up to people to be media literate.
Infomercials to other ads too.
@growlingbehemoth any one can wear a white coat. Chiropractors that are anti vaxxers claim to be doctors to those quacks like Doctor Oz.
@@ChamelionrosesTrue, but at least now you get to make a informed decision from seeing facts from both sides of the fence, instead of the 1 with the personal or commercial agenda!
@growlingbehemoth They say the same about herbal medicine too.. and guess where most modern drugs originate from? It's just slander so the medical profession can make more $$$ off you. Don't forget, its all about $$$. Once you realize that, it all makes sense. In the end, chiropractors vs doctors is a bit like Keto vs vegan.. its an alternative, and the medical profession *hate* it when you show them obvious flaws in their system and diagnosis
My grandmother is so influenced by TV that even if she saw this, it wouldn't enlighten her.
That's how my mom is. EVERYTHING on Fox Brainwashing Company must be true, because they said it. That's her reasoning.
Put it up on the TV with a chromecast or something
@Deplorable Arab Lmao, Fox is just as biased as CNN is, hell, their goddamn slogan is "Real News. Real Honest Opinion", as you can see on their CZcams channel trailer. "Real honest *opinion*", as if that's actually a good thing coming from a news network that's supposed to distribute unbiased information that isn't influenced by their opinion.
One difference with Fox is that they are honest about their political leaning. CNN and the other's are clearly Democrat or Left, yet they claim to be impartial.
My grandmother is influenced by anything she hears from the radio

Say it with me folks,
*"Correlation does NOT equal causation."*
Just because two things (scenes) are shown to occur together is not a good enough reason to say that they had anything to do with each other. Do not get caught by that common pitfall!
Edit (In response to comments below): Most of you have a point in the sense that correlation should sometimes be used as the first step in finding cause and effect; the main point of this comment was to say that it's not the only step. Statistics in correlation are important, but thorough testing of repeatable results for a hypothesis that best matches what we observe is important as well. In other words, it's one matter to see two things behave in a predictable way with respect to each other, but it's another to find the medium through which they interact.
Say, like how Ben kindly pointed out that cancer in Japan was the result of radiation that had been detected emanating from the Fukushima nuclear reactor plant. Without knowing the concept of radiation and what it does to humans, there would be no way for anybody to say that the Fukushima incident is to blame for cancer in Japan. Sadly, this was the case for a lot of harmful things in the past that we now understand in modern times, so it's best to appreciate all that we've come to learn in the time that we've been around.
It doesn't mean causation, but sometimes there is a relationship between two or more scenarios that seem to correlate. It is always good to maintain a healthy dose of skepticism but let's not just hastily throw out the possibility of a relationship between such correlations. Anyway, one of my favorite of such 'correlations' is a graph showing shark attacks increasing with the increase of ice creams being sold. I guess the sharks like the sweetened blood from that ice cream ;)
Except it happens all the time. There's a correlaton between cancer in Japan and the Fukushima incident. Why? Because of the radiation. Don't be an idiot. So, yeah, you're wrong. It often DOES equal causation.
@@CattleCluj Yeah, that graph is pretty funny. Imagine if there was a worldwide ban on ice cream to save the lives of people in coastal areas. Would you be one of the rebels who'd fight to get that delectable dessert into countries where people want it the most? I can already hear the movement's mantra: "I SCREAM FOR ICE CREAM!"

@@SanctifiersAnd the decline in pirates have been causing global warming. You're missing the point. While it often can be the causation this DOES NOT mean you just take EVERYTHING you see off the bat..

@Bullets Forteeth FULL AUTO you can also find shavettes that take single blades from Wilkinson to see if you like it. you get them for around 15-20 bucks and the blades aren't that expensive. a proper barber knife you have to dig a bit deeper into the pocket. but if it is a good knife and you tend after it, it will last a long time
When mainstream media talks about an event that I was at, their story and my memory of the event are usually at odds.
Compare these two statements:
"The Prime Minister has done a bad thing! That's according to an accusation by an opposition backbencher."
"An opposition backbencher has accused the Prime Minister of doing a bad thing."
This is a common technique used by British news channels including the BBC. With the right voice intonation and appropriate pauses, these identical-meaning statements convey a very different impression.

When does a subjects critic ever laud them. They might as well say "A person that disagrees, disagrees".
Thank you for this video, I'm so happy to see that common sense and logic still exist.
News has been emotional BS for a while , but in the last ten years it has gone mad , just emotion and never any facts .
They realized a long time ago that people are stupid. I haven't paid for a paper in over 20 years and rarely if ever read them. The last time that there were anything worthy of the label journalist was in the 1960's.
I stopped watching the news after 9/11. That was the wake up call for me.
Yes, I missed the topic of emotions. The affect us subliminally. Total propaganda stuff.
I worked for a news company for eight years. I learned that the 2-3 times a year they actually reported on something that was interesting to me, I had to go read the original press release to get the actual story.
wow !
THANK YOU for making this video. I've been trying to tell people about this stuff but it seems no one can connect the #$%^&ing dots
there was something I once made years ago, it was VERY popular in this country, the next day it was covered by a few different news agencies, some who personally called/contacted me, (I said "no comment" to ALL of them so most were respectful and went with a copy of my Facebook post itself) but 2 agencies picked up the ball and ran in the complete opposite direction, NOTHING to do with "the story they were covering" only lazy journalism /something to fit their narrative, not what I actually said, I still have emails and unanswered friend requests from people who took my quote completely out of context. When I read the emails, I thought "WHAT? How the hell can you get THAT from what I said"???? That was the point when I learned that "no comment" means, "they just create your own"

Yeah you really have to ask "Reported by whom"? Just as bad as Trump's "Many people" by which he means the last person he talked to, or Hannity.
Sadly, people have been herfed for decades now. Very few realize the massive influence on their perspective of the world has on them. It depresses me massively.

"Herf: Verb - To smoke a cigar, in a group of cigar smokers or alone." Is this what you mean?
@@johnwainscotttheturd5222 the problem is the media blatantly lies to get us to think one way. And I mean not even like bits of Truth just complete blatant f****** lies. Like how they all still try to tell us that Trump never denounced a hate group or a racist group. However you can find mini videos of him doing this very thing even live on some of these stations that will claim he never did.

Oh Thoughty2 if you're still reading comments from so long ago - when you venture from delightful alternative historical education to present day issues, you surpass excellence. Adolescents especially could do with exposure to your down-to-earth, enlightened and openly evolving discourse. I hope you become very influential in this developing dystopia. I'm old but you give me hope and lots of laughs, even if I don't always agree with you. Here, you are, as per usual, spot-on. Kudos Thoughty2.

Am I the only one who didn't see the expression change on the man after they show a plate, the dead girl and the woman?
it's not his physical expression that was changed, it was what people inferred from the expression. they feel as if the expression changed due to the context and interpreted it as so.
No. I also saw that it was exactly the same.
It was exactly the same. You're not the only one.
The point was that 3 different groups were shown it and had different reactions i think
@@anthonyt5376 and that reaction they felt made them feel they see different reactions in line with what they see. It made them see a change in the image on screen when there wasn't.
The fact that this video was made and posted before 2020 made it age SO. GODDAMN. WELL.

It's kinda funny because this video was filled with anti-left wing bias. Its a video telling you how to spot fake news when the video itself is fake news.
The biggest examples of fake news comes from the right wing media with their scare tactics on subjects like immigration, regulations, etc.
Yet thoughty2 only addressed fake news coming from the left wing media. Lets not forget that the largest media group in the USA is FOX, a right wing biased MSM channel, and the reason why it exists in the first place was push propaganda from the GOP (this is actually a fact, if you don't believe it you can't deny that Fox News spreads pro-republican propaganda).
I also get a UKIP sympathy vibe from this video. UKIP is a radical right wing political party with isolationist policy. And if you support UKIP, you're literally a radical as a result. I wouldn't call UKIP conservative because they would literally destroy the UK. So of course they should be considered some form of alt-right. thoughty2 said that people like PJW were not alt-right when before the "alt-right" term started getting associated with nazism (because the nazis btw also hated immigration, and non-white people) PJW and Sargon DID align themselves with the alt-right. Now they say they're not alt-right, but considering they still support UKIP and pretty much have political opinions that align with the alt-right....I would say they're alt-right. It's like saying that you support donald trump and saying you're not a right winger.
This reminds me of the Dihydrogen Monoxide troll. Some people managed to almost convince a Californian authority to ban this substance.
Dihydrogen Monoxide is the fancy name for water.
"Some people managed to almost convince..." - OK that right there is you doing exactly what Thoughty2 is talking about the media doing. They are practiced and aware of doing this but most people do all of these things naturally and without even trying. So...
Who are these 'Some people' and exactly how did you measure the level of convincing that was done so you could conclude 'almost' . Also, which Californian authority are you referring to and why is it important that they were 'almost convinced'. Were any other authorities 'almost convinced'? Some in red states maybe?
You're unintentional narrative is that California is way left wing b/c it jumps on bandwagons to ban random chemicals because they are hard to pronounce. Hmm...maybe that's not what you're saying. It's how that might read to conservatives. btw - I'm not conservative.
I will warn you though... if you start pointing out stuff to people around you like I just did to you...they may start thinking you're and @$$H@!&. Well...maybe you'll be able to pull it off without pissing off your friends but I sure can't. There you have it. The human condition.
@@grejen711 Dude, why on earth did you have to bring up liberals vs conservatives??? The dihydrogen monoxide troll was (and is) hilarious. People all around the world have been fooled by it, but it took me all of 30 seconds on google to find the case in California where they were "almost convinced" www.nbcnews.com/id/4534017/ns/technology_and_science-science/t/local-officials-nearly-fall-ho-hoax/
@@theTavis01 Well read the article. The headline fooled our OP into repeating it here without posting the link to the article like you did. Upon reading it I see: "We had a paralegal who did bad research." I'm thinking the first sentence of that article is an outright lie. I'd lay odds that if you took a census of the 'city officials' in question only that paralegal would admit to any such concern about DHMO.
So 'Some people' referred to by Jahin is actually just joke webpages put up that this paralegal read. No active push by any actual people to convince any authority at all. And 'California authority' seems to be a single idiot that didn't double check something. And 'Almost convince' means a silly mistake didn't get past a second check (the item was pulled from the agenda).
As to Conservative v Liberal, it's a well known Conservative trope that Liberals get scared easily by 'chemicals'. OK maybe that's just my experience with conservative tropes. I'm sure just as many conservatives can be taken in by the DHMO joke if it's presented to them properly.
@@theTavis01 And you've helped make my point that everyone has narratives they push (even me I'm sure) even if they are not aware of doing it. The media has simply done the science on the effect and uses it to profit (or make war).
Here's how I insulate myself: I assume that nothing is as spectacular as it is made to seem. Generally, reality/truth, is kinda boring. If news tugs at your emotions it's probably not all it seems to be.
@@grejen711 Jesus you took that too 11 and inserted your own bias. Yes his post could be read that way however yours contained obvious bias.
'How to lie with statistics' was required reading when doing my engineering degree. It was about identifying the tricks used and yes, the media uses the same techniques to mislead a lot. A Y-axis that does not start at zero is very common.
'Scientists say' is another overused expression for articles that fail to identify the people involved or whether the research has been peer-reviewed. I'm yet to see an article that makes mention of the fact that further research has shown that the original findings were in question. 'Scientists have found the gene that causes (whatever)' is common.

Listen to what Thoughty says. It'a supposed to be like that.
You have just explained the past 10 years of the US political landscape. Well done.
Please do more clips of journalists linguistic tricks, even if abstracted examples with names changed, as I think this might be the most day-to-day applicable video you have made for your viewers, since we all are bombarded with news daily. Thank you. Reminds me of the use I found from taking logic in college, probably the most consistently used of my college classes.
One of the reasons I did not continue in journalism. Great video!
I like the new direction your topics are taking
Personally, I like his non-opinionated content *MUCH* more.
@@purplehaze2358 that wasn't really opinion though because most of what he said was fact
@@purplehaze2358 What is so much more opinionated about these recent videos? Pretty much only the covered topics have changed. In a good way, dare I say. Or do you buy into intersectionality and that sort of left doctrine?
@@purplehaze2358 showing media manipulation tactics is not opinionated or on the left or right, all media that has a narrative to push does it left or right, the left just makes it more obvious which is why alot of the examples where from the left
What direction is that?
I haven't t noticed anything out of the ordinary.
Thank you, this video made me just like you even more. You are not only very fun to listen to but you are also an honest and critical thinking individual.
One of my favorite books is 'How to Lie with Statistics', it highlights all of the methods you mention, and more.
The musical background selection for this video is superb.

Bless you for this video, man - seriously. BLESS. YOU. I hope some people will listen to you. I've enjoyed a lot of your videos the last week or two, but this one is a PUBLIC SERVICE of the highest caliber.
It doesn't matter who you are, or what opinions you have.
Once you live in this world someone somewhere is always going to say something you don't like.
You can't live to please everyone you meet.
And you cannot live in a bubble.
I can detect lies, And they seriously send fury throughout me. I don't even watch the news without getting pissed off.
When I watch news I get pissed on!
@John Barber Uh huh, the fact that you even think that shows that you don’t understand critical thinking
What's your opinion on operation paperclip? Or operation mockingbird?
Me too bro! It infuriates me every time because I haven’t seen a newscast in many years where most everything they reported wasn’t a lie. And even then there was always a lie sprinkled in here and there
Yes Joe, I ditched the TV years ago, stopped reading news papers decades ago, NOW, I even have to turn off the radio when the news slot comes on. People only need to look around to see how crazy the world has got, silly pandemics, masks on the sheeple, running to have Bill Gates"s sheep dip.
Had this local reporter reporting on a fire and she just started blaming Trump. This is in Australia btw really wish I had recording on at the time.
🤣
Trump is always the victim of the media, everything to them is his fault, even when he's right it's wrong, if he does good...it's bad. The media are a bad mind controlling gang! The funniest is the awful event of 911, the planes hit, the buildings collapsed, everything turned to dust. The steel melted and everything seemed vaporised...but...the terror pilots passports were found in the dust intact! But all the other passengers passports and belongings and even themselves were vaporised with the contents of the whole building! Very strange.
I thought i coudn't like your video's more than i did. But this one is exceptionally great and today you are a hero for telling the truth! Thank you ♡
I gave up on "news" entirely when I realized that all it did was make me angry.
This video should be broadcast in a loop 24/7 on an easy-to-discover cable/satellite channel,
preferably between two popular news channels.
I watched this today on Sky news, the host was interviewing a scientist about the latest plague from China. and at the end of every sentence the host was trying to prod out any information that would cause fear or panic.
Exactly!
How's that going for ya?
Would you like an update?
What's even worse, its there every year and is treatable with antibiotics, so it's not even a problem.
One Year Plus: The very reason the Chinese Gov't didn't want the press to broadcast it willy nilly in the first place. To avoid panic, before they had a viable plan to attack the epidemic in Wuhan, stem the spread. If only the West had listened, Half a Million people would still be alive.
*"We learn from history that we do not learn from history."*

I totally agree. The 'destined to repeat history' is nonsense. The mistake we make is the opposite, assuming something that happened will happen again in the same way.

eh, I guess it should be "We learn from history that we live in a society where we do not learn from history."

How accurate :\
Interesting video. I did not fully appreciate just how bright you are. I have always enjoyed your work but I have to admit I now have a higher level of respect for what you do. One point I would make about all this is our news 'reporters' of today are not in the business of journalism, they are in the entertainment business. The major media sources do not want to report news they want to influence public opinion. We live in a world of propaganda gone wild. Social media will be either the source of our ultimate ability to evolve and grow or will lead to our destruction. It remains to be seen which.
I am a foreigner, but I like this set if videos on this channel very much and I congratulate everyone, who chooses it
The Peterson / Newman interview is one of the greatest pieces of TV I've ever seen.
So what your saying is it wasnt the best so it sucks?
So what you are saying is you are an alt-right nazi?
🤣 Thoughty2's analysis of that trainwreck "interview" was spot on.
That's why I only read The Onion as my source of news. Because the other media only copy The Onion.
The Onion has never been as misleading as actual Florida Man reports.
This is sad.
I think The Onion has been bought by SJWs also, look at their videos in the last few months compared to their older videos, theyre pure shit
@@artv.9989 why would SJWs buy The Onion?
And some say we haven't listened to advertising for decades. And others no longer watch TV news for any reason. Instead now that we have; Thoughty2
Thank you....very much.
Have you noticed this in coverage of violent crimes... Every time ppl from certain communities are the perpetrators, the attacks are "alleged" and "reported". And every time they are the victims, the attacks are "coordinated" and "targeted".
So basically pay attention and don't assume anything.
Slight nuance to your statement:
Paying attention is what creates them in the first place.
Outright fully ignoring them is the way to go.
But yea, the flipside is also present, if we collectively ignore them, they will make more bullshit statements in the headlines....
@@Yezpahr So you're saying paying attention is a bad thing?
@@1llum1nate They don't know what they're saying. But I'll assume what they meant to say was: People inherently know right from wrong. Truth from lies. The trick is to convince them to make truth secondary to hate.
Yes you are so right! Because Assuming can only make an ASS of U & ME!
There’s always a group of people that benefits from this perfected art
I never knew why so many people hated Jordan Peterson, because every interview I saw of him, what he said made complete sense and I never heard him say anything that was hateful or unfair to anyone or any group. But now ik why, very sad he says some insightful things!!
He is a pretty reasonable guy, but when he starts talking about Jungian archetypes, hmm, that can be sometimes a little too much.
Legitimate news is like an honest mechanic
Most mechanics are honest. You just don’t hear about them. Honest people don’t make news.
Added facts: Camera angle and elevation is also used but not so much anymore because the reporters today is not educated in these manipulative techniques.
But a person or persons who are walking or looking toward the right is often perceived as calm, reliable and friendly - they are on their way "home". While anyone who is looking or walking toward the left is perceived as critical, ad odds with things, suspicious and unfriendly.
Also, by filming from a lower point can you make a person "tower" up, it makes the viewer think of that person as "feeling better and more valuable than the other, the person is looking down upon the viewer. An angle where the person is looking up is perceived as the small, innocent and often weak person, because the viewer is looking down upon that person.
On top of these two simply angles are there many more ways to manipulate the camera placement and thereby the viewer's perception of the interviewee.
The news doesnt lie to you, if you dont listen to it
Some news lie by visuals though. CNN's school shooter mixed race highlighted to look white XD Photoshop masters in action.
It still lies to you. You just refuse to listen to the lie.
I'd listen to actually trustworthy news. I'm pretty sure there's sites for that.
