I actually work at one of the last independent newspapers in the US. Thank you for bringing awareness to the importance and difficulties of the local newspaper industry. It’s a huge struggle to stay afloat. I hope this helps people understand that news is vital to our democracy, but it’s not free to produce, and we need readers and supporters to help keep things going. Thank you, Hasan and the rest of the Patriot Act crew. I’m going to share this with my publisher.
It's crazy how the comedians are doing a better job covering the news than the news stations themselves.
Netflix cancelled a show like "Patriot Act" and approved a movie like "Cuties"
They cancelled this show... in a pandemic. Netflix doesn’t want us to survive this and stay sane
I'm getting my MBA and that was clearest and funniest explanation of a leverage buyout I've ever seen.
It’s actualy kinda scary because Hasan is one of my go-to’s for the news instead of the actual thing i.e. newspapers.
Private equity was also responsible for the utter destruction of local radio stations in the early 2000s. I was personally a witness to this process, as my mom (an award-winning morning radio personality and news reporter) went from making a good living to making so little she had to have two other jobs to being laid off.
I came to read the comments and now i feel like im in a desert talking to my own self
Thank you for covering this! My paper once had nearly 40 staff members. The paper has been around since the 1800's. But now there is only two reporters including myself. I cover three cities and one county. That includes all police, business, crime, politics, civic, education, and entertainment stories. I also curate the opinion page. And on top of that Idaho politicians want to get rid of a law that requires local governments to post advance notice of agendas and public hearings, etc. That is printed in local newspapers. How will people recieve notice about important political policies and changes if we dont print the agendas and notices ahead of time? Also it's a HUGE chunck of our revenue. We're losing on every front.
"Golden age of nonsense"
"Soon you'll have to figure out which disney princess you are the old fashioned way, therapy." I cant 🤣🤣

When a friend started spouting absolute nonsense I asked where he got his information. He said he watched Sean Hannity everyday. I don't see him as just an idiot anymore. I now see him as a self made idiot.
"It's not news. It's gossip." Good stuff.
i can't believe this show is gonna be cancelled :(
We are living in a golden age of nonsense. Truer words have never been spoken
Texted the owner of my local newspaper and asked how I can help. I've been so impressed by his hard work and dedication to quality news (he even broke that the scam on Washington State through fakes claiming unemployment during the pandemic has hit almost $1 billion). Reach out to your local newspapers and ask what you can do! Donate, share, and support!
I feel called out, Hasan is absolutely right, I have been watching gossip dressed as news while thinking it was news.
“creepy vampire like prince charles”. killed it
I agree with Hasan on everything here. However, prompted by some of the comments I see under this video, I want to remark that there is one more aspect to the bigger picture. We all need to learn how to evaluate information more objectively, how to exert a healthy dose of skepticism towards everything we learn or discover, how to self-analyze and understand our own subjective biases -- doing our best to remove this primitive heuristic lens, filter that we use to perceive the world. Think back to high school: were we not taught how to differentiate statement of fact from an opinion? What happened to "consider the source"? What are the stakes for the person delivering the message, what is their motive?
