      The media has been lying to the American people for a hundred years, media propaganda is not a new thing, the reason the propaganda is starting to cave is because of social media, and now even social media is starting to censor certain stories to protect the MSM, the MSM is a strong arm of the government, can anyone honestly trust any news channel that hires a government official when they return to the private sector, I'm not going to trust a ex CIA to tell me anything about the government.

    Hegelian-dialectic. People are emotional and reactive, they don't even realize their mind-set is just for their team to dominate.

    • @AndrewAnstrom
      @AndrewAnstrom 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Another way to put it is that America has become completely unempathetic to how other people might feel. Refusing to see things as others might see. Only pushing forward their own agendas instead of working together for the greater good.

    • @brentruss2168
      @brentruss2168 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      For the most part I agree. But - there is something else going on. For example - ask a hard core "pay your fair share" progressive why they need compulsory taxation for their social agenda, instead of establishing a trust fund where the annual interest returns replace the need for the immense tax structure. You can literally watch their faces as they just realized you shot their sacred cow. Now, the mind bending mental gymnastics they do to answer you is another story - but for real, you are dealing with cold blooded sociopaths. They don't give a fuck about the problem deep down - they want to use the force and power of government to control people they don't agree with. That's the bottom line.
      It's the same with most every politically opinionated person. They are sociopaths.
      We can't have a peaceful productive society with them involved. That's a sad fact. They don't care about the problem - they want control of the government (monopoly of force) to further their political/social agendas.
      I don't know what the long term solution is, but the moment we can place all these shit-heads onto a barge and crash it into the sun, the sooner we can fix all of the problems in society like regular folks.

    People don't understand that our journalism now *is* normal. This is the norm. Look at newspapers from the 1800's and early 1900's, they were as they are now: Politically partisan outfits whose aim was to rally public opinion to the aims of the owners of the paper. And print journalism has always been this way, and nobody seems to think it's a big deal. But because we now have T.V. journalism that behaves the same way, we act like it's the end-times. The idea of journalistic neutrality on T.V. was specifically a reaction of lawmakers to the technological limitations of the medium. When T.V. was new there weren't enough channels to permit every opinion to get air time. So, after technological advancements finally furnished a proliferation of T.V. news options, the F.C.C. finally repealed the 'Fairness Doctrine' which had previously prevented partisan news coverage like has always been legal in every other medium.
    That wasn't the only factor driving political consensus in the post 1950's, either. America was united and prosperous after emerging victorious from, sequentially, the worst economic disaster, and the worst humanitarian disaster in recorded history. Bipartisanship, critical to keeping the U.S. together during wartime, had become second nature to the American leadership class. That period of consensus and compromise was unprecedented, both nationally and internationally (and yet was still not without strife). My point here is that the "Good old days"of journalism are, if they existed at all, based on a very a-typical period of history.

    I'm here because, after watching a number of these, Joe seems to NOT really have a narrative. We know some of his opinions but he lets his guests talk. He always seems very interested and always lets his guests get their info out - regardless of their speaking ability. He doesn't interrupt them. I think the big reason he can do this is because of his lack of time restraints. I was shocked at how he let Edward Snowden carefully get his info out. It was like getting the book version of Snowden.

    “I don’t have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. It’s a depression. Everybody’s out of work or scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickel’s worth. Banks are going bust. Shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter. Punks are running wild in the street and there’s nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do, and there’s no end to it. We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat, and we sit watching our TVs while some local newscaster tells us that today we had fifteen homicides and sixty-three violent crimes, as if that’s the way it’s supposed to be. We know things are bad - worse than bad. They’re crazy. It’s like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don’t go out anymore. We sit in the house, and slowly the world we are living in is getting smaller, and all we say is: ‘Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radials and I won’t say anything. Just leave us alone.’
    Well, I’m not gonna leave you alone. I want you to get MAD! I don’t want you to protest. I don’t want you to riot - I don’t want you to write to your congressman, because I wouldn’t know what to tell you to write. I don’t know what to do about the depression and the inflation and the Russians and the crime in the street. All I know is that first you’ve got to get mad. (shouting) You’ve got to say: ‘I’m a human being, god-dammit! My life has value!’
    So, I want you to get up now. I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up right now and go to the window. Open it, and stick your head out, and yell: ‘I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not gonna take this anymore!’
    I want you to get up right now. Sit up. Go to your windows. Open them and stick your head out and yell - ‘I’m as mad as hell and I’m not gonna take this anymore!’ Things have got to change. But first, you’ve gotta get mad!…You’ve got to say, ‘I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not gonna take this anymore!’ Then we’ll figure out what to do about the depression and the inflation and the oil crisis. But first, get up out of your chairs, open the window, stick your head out, and yell, and say it: ‘I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not gonna take this anymore!’"

    Someone like Jack Dorsey with his billions should start as Neither Side News which is only about reporting news, in depth and clearly without a bias and where the owner has zero control over the stories. No editorials and no editorial line dictated by a press baron owner, no opinion pieces, no columnists. Does not show adverts so not driven by clicks and people can pay on a Patreon model.
    The reason I suggest someone like Dorsey is because he's got enough money to do this and fund it / subsidise it and his creation Twitter, alongside other forms of social media such as Facebook, has massively damaged how the media works, how public discourse works globally, created increasing levels of polarisation and has, when its pros and cons have been netted out, become a curse on humanity.
    Him or a Zuckerberg or an equivalent owes this to the public.

    Don't blame the audience. There are enough that want details and do work for them already.

Other will catch on and increase their attention span or get left behind.

The printed word changed the course of humanity. The printing press freed the human race from feudalism. Journalism has had a profound and positive effect on freedom. Creating a pejorative ideal around journalism is foolish and dangerous. Think for yourself and research the sources of the info you read.

    How did CEOs of media corporations BECOME CEOs? Not because they underestimate the audience's critical thinking skills, curiosity, or attention spans. It is because like 'consent' ... the audience's capacity has been 'manufactured'. It is a deliberately 'manufactured short attention span' as a business model for short-term profits and to protect the ruling class.
    Japan, where I live, has more of a cultural conceit regarding 'group harmony' rather than 'individual freedom' ... but the ruling elite applies similar tricks. Similar to the oxymoron of Chomsky and Herman's 'Manufacturing Consent', Stephen Vlastos's book of academic essays is entitled 'Invented Traditions of Modern Japan'.
    This is part of a larger, only partially subconscious 'mission-creep / mission-drift' towards a civilization in decline because of the brute-blind ambition of concentrating power. I specify 'civilization' because we are talking about something bigger than a single nation-state.
    I have lived in Japan for 36 years now, and have taught in both Japanese and American colleges (Associate Prof. as well as disposable Adjunct Prof.) and Japan, despite marketing its 'cultural exceptionalism' for tourist dollars, is similarly in decline. While Japan has the world's 3rd largest economy, its mass media and higher education are both ranked even lower (about 70th among 140 nations) than U.S. counterparts for those institutions.
    Harvard Professor of political philosophy Michael Sandel defines 'corruption' as the replacing of higher values with lower values. I would say the higher values are those values associated with communities, not institutions. Communities tend to be small enough, less than Dunbar's number, to allow for relatively egalitarian, empathy-driven moralities. We can identify and relate to everyone in the community based on unique, individual relationships. And though even families, gangs, and communities can be led by bullies, small groups are better able to identity and constrain those dark-triad personality types.
    Institutions, on the other hand, are large, bureaucratic, hierarchical economies of scale ... 'efficient' only for the dark-triad personality types (narcissists, machiavellian opportunists, and psychopaths) which are at the top of the hierarchies, and providing lots of niche opportunities to game the system along the way. As Lao Tzu once put it ... 'The more laws the country, the more evil the people.', Once the dark-triads build the empire at the expense of communities, and take over the top ... they reserve empathy-driven morality only for themselves, the small gated community at the top, and outsource the cost of stripping human emotional needs to the disposable human capital which keeps the hierarchy so steep ... at least until those at the top vampirize the majority so much, that it all eventually comes tumbling down like every 'Tower of Babel'.
    The first casualty of war is truth.
    Make no mistake, we are in the closing days of a class war that has already been lost.
    Both legitimate journalism and the liberal-arts ideals of education in critical thinking skills are casualties of corruption, and without everyone being allowed to live up to their potential as sustainable social primates, even the gated communities will have no one left to tend the walls.
    As Jared Diamond says in 'Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed', regarding the failed Norse colony in Greenland 500 years ago - 'Ultimately, though, the chiefs found themselves without followers. The last right that they obtained for themselves was the privilege of being the last to starve.'
    Diamond, Jared. Collapse (p. 276). Penguin Publishing Group. Kindle Edition.
    I rest my case with what I expect will be a VERY small number, if any, of upvotes or downvotes, comments, or dialogue which indicate little motivation to even read what I have written here.

    Attention span is tied to the persons interest in the subject. In short clips, the journalist needs to get the person interested in the subject and then go deeper and deeper into the subject with longer video clips. Sitting through 2.5 hours isn't problem if you're getting better and important information. The Trump impeachment crap will turn off the viewer in 2 minutes, if they can't make a case. If you're over 50, anti-aging technology and methodologies could hold your attention for hours, assuming the video has something worthwhile to offer.
