Truth shall set us free. Deep down most people know Truth will save the species since ultimately the lies will destroy us. The people spreading the lies are too selfish to see past their own lust.
Well done, Sharyl. Nice to know that true professionals still exist in journalism. Thank you for your articles and your great books, "Stonewalled" and "The Smear" ."
Tough to find objective journalists these days. Our founding fathers thought free press to be important enough to be mentioned in the Bill of Rights. Those in the profession should take grater care so as to not loose it. Very good talk Sharyl Attkisson.
Most of those in the profession _chose_ that profession so that they could distort information in an effort to install their own political views on the masses. It's no coincidence that 95% of journalists are far left-wing.
It doesn't matter if it were 25 years ago or 2 years ago. She actually worked when CNN was religiously followed by many, many people, including myself. Luckily we have now the choice to listen to others... and I try to choose those who sound genuine and logical in their thinking process.
This video needs at least 10 million views and not 10,000. I've been a fan of Sharyl Attkisson for quite a while and particularly since she brought the story of Fast and Furious gun-running to CBS News and forced the mainstream media to report on these crimes of the US government. If only our news media was composed of high quality professional journalists like Sharyl Attkisson.
People think that just because you work for a news org. that is now fake news that means all journalists are bad, they aren't. There are a loooot of good journalists out there trying to make their way.
An excellent and insightful journalist. Was spied on by the Obama administration, which shows how much they feared her honest, fair and hard hitting reporting.
Willydz59 she is currently in a multimillion dollar lawsuit that names people in the Obama Administration, as well as Verizon, and .........wait for it... the FBI for unlawful surveillance of a US citizen!!! It seems The Obama Attorney General (Loretta Lynch) violated FISA warrant protocol.....something called the Woods act, that declares that not one single unverified fact shall be included in a FISA warrant application, under penalty of law!!! ........sound familiar!! Hmmmmmm This is according to an interview I saw of her on another channel. If this is true why is it that the gop doesn't say something?? I believe her, I just wonder why the GOP is silent??
why would they take this down were not living in a dystopic society, this isn't totalitarian. We're not in 1984 or Fahrenheit 451 so why would they take it town. TED talks are for information seriously
@@dzllz why would they remove this video. Also they remove explicit videos because no one uses TH-cam kids not educational stuff. Also TH-cam is not mentioned in this once nor is TH-cam owned by meta so there’s no reason to take it down
@@jarofjam6594 They are also known for removing non violating content. So, it might've been just some worker at TH-cam abusing their authority. There's been records for illegitimate takedowns. And yes, they also do remove violating content as well. It's just that sometimes or a certain period of times they could be illegitimately taken down.
But often this non violating content is not made by a respecting authority such as TED. Also while it may not directly violate the guidelines it can provide harmful opinions that people can formulate without doing proper research. In my opinion, if someone wants to propose an idea on the internet they must look at both sides of the argument and discuss with a factual explanation why their's holds more correct information.@@killertruth186
+TREASURE GOBLIN. She accused both sides of politics of spewing out fake news. When everyone knows the overwhelming majority of fake news comes from the mainstream media (media arm of the Democrats) and the Democrats etc. She dances around the topic of fake news never reaching a conclusion. She talks about fake news perse not its purpose to lie and mislead the public into voting for the Democrats. As for your comments ? She's a liberal trying to redefine fake news itself as a blurred event connected to paid interests, who she neglects to mention (misdirection). Her goal is to steer the term 'fake news' away from the Democrat controlled mainstream media etc and into the horizon. Unfortunately the globalists control both Democrat & Republican while Trump seems to be more independent. Time will tell how just how independent he is or not.
this was excellent. These TED Talks are generally viewed more by liberals so I'm not sure how many people in that crowd were too thrilled to hear that but she did a great job
The problem is that Trump fans believe Fake News and conspiracy. They believe anything that doesn't hate the left and spin things in a conservative light is "fake news" Everything Trump fans don't like including polls and general info is "fake" merely because they don't like it.
I wouldn't be too overjoyed. You have to take into the fact that she reports on news that is supposed to have journalistic standards. The right-wing pundits which seem to be the only people right-wingers think are "real news" aren't even considered because they're opinion entertainment and not journalists. The right hated Shep Smith which was the only actual "news" on Fox.
Jonathan Mosher most likely because their TH-cam channel and their radios talk shows keep reminding them every day that major media are fake news and how the left hate America and US constitution lol. So, basically they been brainwashing daily but they don’t know it. However, every day I listen to conservative radio station at where I live and the host keep attack the left daily lol.
@@vodoo3dx243 Right-wing pundits are profoundly more diabolical then left-wing pundits for the most part. The right-wing pundits use every propaganda method in the book. They start out with false equivalencies and base entire shows on that talking point. It's no wonder crazy people listen to their shows and start sending bombs and killing people.
Sharyl, who works for the right-wing Sinclair Broadcast Group, which is currently engaged in buying up independent lacal news stations around the country.
Greenwald is particularly interesting (to me, at least). He started out as a defender of civil rights and a champion against the surveillance state, but over the past few years he has been increasingly leaning towards the "Julian Assange and Putin are heroes, and Wikileaks is the voice of God" attitude, and any contrary opinion is blasphemy. I have never followed Taibbi, so I can't comment on him.
Yeah. I'm not saying Greenwald gets it right every time. Just that hes brave enough to a be contrarian who forms his own opinions regardless of the consequences.
She completely skipped the fact that a series of polls in 2003 showed that over 60% of Fox News viewers believed Saddam Hussein was behind 9/11. This is but one example of why Fox News has been known as Faux News since the turn of the century. Faux is French for fake.
Loved this: "There are two ways to tell that powerful interests are trying to manipulate your opinion... #1 When the media seems to be trying to shape or censor facts and opinions rather than report them. #2 When so many in the media are reporting the same stories, promulgating the same narratives, relying on the same sources, even using the same phrases. I mean, think of it, there are literally thousands of legitimate news stories that could be reported in a given day, and an infinite number of ways to report them. When everybody's on the same page, it might be the result of an organized campaign."
Excellent! Thank you Ms. Attkisson for being a force for Truth and honest journalism in this time of the vast corruption of Big Media by biased elites.
And then be willing to check on and read those sources. Destroyed a few "works" of people claiming so much falsehoods by taking one sentence or part of a paragraph out of context on their resources to prove the lies. Just takes some work and effort.
My goodness! The schools are already so far left! Any further left and you will see glowing inspirational posters of Fidel Castro, Che Guevara, Vladimir Lenin, Joseph Stalin, and Mao Zedong on the walls. Oh, wait a minute. You see that now!
Sharyl has a news program called Full Measure that exhibits the same integrity and insight she demonstrates in this Tedx Talk....wouldn't it be great if more people seeking quality journalism watched less of the 'mainstream media' and more of shows like hers? I have a dream...does anyone else?
Such an important person right now, and I think it speaks volumes that she is not more popular. Words can’t describe how much I appreciate Sharyl. She needs to get on JRE or something. Amazing.
I'd like to see her interviewed on the Rubin Report with Dave Rubin as well. I'd like to see her speak before prominent university journalism classes as well but that may not sit well with the proponents of our propaganda programs....students would question too much.
The main stream media has direct access into every living room. The majority of people will not look for the truth, they settle for what the main stream tells them. It's the perfect gateway to the minds of the masses and such an easy way to push anything in anyway they wish.
@@Alex-sy7wn That would be a violation of the Bill of Rights, Amendment 1. You can cancel them with your wallet/attention, but they cannot be "banned". Plus, Fox actually does a decent job with both their opinion and hard news coverage.
Sharyl is one outstanding investigative reporter. I've been a fan of her since her early days on a Tampa News channel. She is an actual real News person.
Love seeing an objective voice finally. What happened to morals in journalism, integrity, balanced and honest reporting? Nowadays, so called journalists only report the ideas and findings that promote their talking points instead of following the facts and reporting the truth.
The stage she speaks on illustrates what a 'show' the TED talks have become, sad. But Sharyl delivered yet another great presentation, the one on 'Astroturfing' is still unforgettable. Thanks!
The problem with fake news is an easy fix. Congress passes legislation requiring cable and satellite providers to allow customers to purchase only the channels they, the customers, want instead of the bundled packages they, the providers, require the customers to purchase -- in order to have the service. ( John McCain was working on this but it died on the vine! ) Currently I cannot choose NOT to have CNN, MSNBC, MTV, or Univision if I want a TV service. If I purchase cable, or satellite TV, I will be PAYING FOR THE CHANNELS I DETEST! When are finally allowed to buy the channels we want, CNN, MSNBC, ect. will go out of business because very few people will want to pay for them! Unless you are talking to your congressman about this issue, DON'T COMPLAIN ABOUT FAKE NEWS! PASS IT ON.
I shared this video on every social media platform I can think of! Great points and truly unbiased point of view. Just the facts, as it were. This is what TRUE journalists should be like! Thank you for sharing!
Sharyl Attkisson is a class act and a true standout in the field of investigative journalism. She first caught my attention when she was interviewed on C-SPAN regarding Fast & Furious and Benghazi. Because the interview was a good length, she was able to go into such detail about her efforts to get answers to so many questions that the Obama Administration refused to provide regarding both events. She is a person with integrity and true commitment to finding the truth and reporting it.
I understood that technical usage of the term arose from a news report with unsubstantiated sources which then get repeated endlessly by the MSM, giving it the appearance of fact.
I am in love... She is the first person I have seen that really understands how our reality is controlled. Blew my mind when she described the manipulation of reality. I write on this extensively on my blog and have not seen anyone else talking about it... anywhere... It is far more than just big pharma though, think full spectrum dominance, and when they say full spectrum they mean it. You're amazing, keep up the good work!
This same process is being used as they "rewrite " our history books used in our public schools. Take some time to compare today's versions to the versions of the past. The true issue lies in the fact that we never presented history in an unbias manner. A great deal was left out, but, now, the other side steps in, rubs that in our face and then proceeds to write history the way they want us to remember it History can vary greatly depending on who is writing it. What, then, is being taught in our public scools?
The term "media literacy" has been around since at least the 1990s, when I was a university student and it seemed everybody in my program was reading Chomsky's Manufacturing Consent.
Excellent and affirming! People are resilient and wise and discerning. Don't see the human race short. And she does not. Thank you Sharyl for being articulate, wise and discerning and thank you for sharing!
Sheryl is a treasure and I believe she is one of the brightest and bravest investigative journalists we have. I’ve read her latest book about the corruption and capture of Science by the giant corporations who manufacture pharmaceuticals and vaccines. I love her investigative reporting on her channel, “Full Measure”. She is amazing!
The problem with news is not so much that it fails to check facts, but that it tends to report only facts which support a narrative. The thought that you can receive "truth" from a news story sound byte is absolutely ridiculous!
This Lady is great! Just wondering where, when, and from what school and Master did she receive her 4th from? The content here is great, I'm just curious... I'm a 20 year practitioner of the Martial Arts, and respect them greatly. Great talk, Sharyl! Thumbs Up, BTW!!!
Media Literacy advocates are educators. Their purpose is NOT to spread an agenda. Their purpose is to foster the skills, dispositions, and responsibilities necessary for wise and effective media consumption and creation.
In media literacy education, we are highly concerned about the field being co-opted after decades of hard work to encourage critical thinking and skepticism. Media literacy is about asking questions -- NOT having "the answers." Those who are presenting media literacy as telling people what to believe or how to believe or what is accurate or what is not accurate are NOT practicing or teaching media literacy according to best practices. PLEASE check out our website at the Center for Media Literacy to learn more -- and let others know that media literacy is about empowerment through education, so that wise choices, made by individuals and communities, are more possible. We believe in free speech and the marketplace of ideas! Those that don't -- don't know what media literacy is. We'd be happy to speak with Sharyl to discuss because we are well are that some people are misrepresenting media literacy and we who have long advocated for empowerment are in danger of being swamped. We must challenge mis-representation on ALL levels, and help provide all citizens skills of discernment.
@@jorgetorres6162 I'm doing good thanks, We can have a private conversation as well, If you don't mind, Then this is my address (andersonlydia582@gmail.com) less talk and know each other with time and patience.
The only way to be immune to "fake news" is ATTENTION. A lot of it. Because behind every discourse, including this one BTW, there is an INTENTION. Everyone who's out there is trying to sell you something, whatever it is, including a path to the truth. But there is no such perfect itinerary to the truth except increasing our awareness.This talk was about that and, as such, it's a contribution to enlightment. And Mrs Attkinson said something very important: FOLLOW THE MONEY. I would add: litterally and metaphorically.
I'm surprised Ted Talks and youtube are leaving this up.
The harder they squeeze, the more truth will slip through the liberal's fingers.
Just because someone won't go to a far out place, doesn't mean they're what you say. You've taken a logical leap you have no way of proving.
Truth shall set us free. Deep down most people know Truth will save the species since ultimately the lies will destroy us. The people spreading the lies are too selfish to see past their own lust.
Yes, can i post that again lol!
Sherlock MacGyver agreed. She doesn’t need to “go” anywhere. Just the topic of the talk itself inspires skepticism. Great to the point speech.
Well done, Sharyl.
Nice to know that true professionals still exist in journalism.

And they hated the Press too. You should look up what Thomas Jefferson said about the Press after he became President.
Why do you think she is objective? Give me a break! She is working for CNN, lol...
She left CNN 25 years ago.
It doesn't matter if it were 25 years ago or 2 years ago. She actually worked when CNN was religiously followed by many, many people, including myself. Luckily we have now the choice to listen to others... and I try to choose those who sound genuine and logical in their thinking process.

Also be wary of "authorities, experts, polls, (one-sided) graphs and statistics, unnamed sources, etc..."
Check every article you read for sources. If you cannot find a name of a person who stands behind a statement, don't believe it.
And then be willing to check on and read those sources. Destroyed a few "works" of people claiming so much falsehoods by taking one sentence or part of a paragraph out of context on their resources to prove the lies. Just takes some work and effort.

A great deal was left out, but, now, the other side steps in, rubs that in our face and then proceeds to write history the way they want us to remember it History can vary greatly depending on who is writing it. What, then, is being taught in our public scools?
Outstanding reporting from my most trusted source of truth. Sharyl treats truth as sacred, because it is.
Bravo!
Thankful there are still real journalists out there!
Very well stated. I laughed at the hostile takeover comment.
Good Morning to all & Thank you Sir
The term "media literacy" has been around since at least the 1990s, when I was a university student and it seemed everybody in my program was reading Chomsky's Manufacturing Consent.
A magnificent woman.God bless you.

Sharyl: This country is not a "Democracy:. It is a "Constitutional Republic".
Excellent and affirming! People are resilient and wise and discerning. Don't see the human race short. And she does not. Thank you Sharyl for being articulate, wise and discerning and thank you for sharing!
Thanks
Sheryl is a treasure and I believe she is one of the brightest and bravest investigative journalists we have. I’ve read her latest book about the corruption and capture of Science by the giant corporations who manufacture pharmaceuticals and vaccines. I love her investigative reporting on her channel, “Full Measure”. She is amazing!
She's hot, I believe her.
Tsai Lim
Well, I believe her, respect her *_AND SHE'S HOT!!!_*
The problem with news is not so much that it fails to check facts, but that it tends to report only facts which support a narrative. The thought that you can receive "truth" from a news story sound byte is absolutely ridiculous!
Nope, your view numbers don't go up. HOw sad that youtube is so threatened by differing pov. smh Great video.
Excellent! Will require in my media classes. Reading her book now. Very enlightening.
This Lady is great! Just wondering where, when, and from what school and Master did she receive her 4th from? The content here is great, I'm just curious... I'm a 20 year practitioner of the Martial Arts, and respect them greatly. Great talk, Sharyl! Thumbs Up, BTW!!!
Media Literacy advocates are educators. Their purpose is NOT to spread an agenda. Their purpose is to foster the skills, dispositions, and responsibilities necessary for wise and effective media consumption and creation.
Google must have missed this with their content filtering algorithm.
She's a heroine for standing up, and in such a brilliant way!!
Have you heard of "The Last DJ"? Here we have "The Last Journalist".
Check out Lawrence Wright, he does great work too.
Outstanding. As a former press photog. for decades she is spot on. I have shot for UPI, AP, AFP and more and have seen this kind of bias many times.
Dave Rubin, have you tried to get her on your show yet? I'm sure you'll watch this, and I'm early enough you might see my comment!
Excellent Sharyl! Thank you.🥀
awesome..
Need more hero journalist like Sharyl Attkisson!
Donald Trump is awesome. That's my takeaway.
this is a lesson which school wouldn't teach but you need in order to live ....
In media literacy education, we are highly concerned about the field being co-opted after decades of hard work to encourage critical thinking and skepticism. Media literacy is about asking questions -- NOT having "the answers." Those who are presenting media literacy as telling people what to believe or how to believe or what is accurate or what is not accurate are NOT practicing or teaching media literacy according to best practices. PLEASE check out our website at the Center for Media Literacy to learn more -- and let others know that media literacy is about empowerment through education, so that wise choices, made by individuals and communities, are more possible. We believe in free speech and the marketplace of ideas! Those that don't -- don't know what media literacy is. We'd be happy to speak with Sharyl to discuss because we are well are that some people are misrepresenting media literacy and we who have long advocated for empowerment are in danger of being swamped. We must challenge mis-representation on ALL levels, and help provide all citizens skills of discernment.
Media literacy is about learning skills to discern propaganda. And yes, I am a strong advocate for learning these skills!
Wow, this is a very rare type of person who does her research and is independent. Congrats TED for letting her speak!
Thank you. I hope view went up at least by 1. :)
I'm very impressed with her presentation, this the kind of analysis we need
@Hello Jorge Torres, How are you doing?
@@lydiaanderson4020 Hey Lydia, what's up?
@@jorgetorres6162 I'm doing good thanks, We can have a private conversation as well, If you don't mind, Then this is my address (andersonlydia582@gmail.com) less talk and know each other with time and patience.
Wow!! What a deep insight given!!!
I feel like I woke up from the deep sleep of Inception!!
The only way to be immune to "fake news" is ATTENTION. A lot of it. Because behind every discourse, including this one BTW, there is an INTENTION. Everyone who's out there is trying to sell you something, whatever it is, including a path to the truth. But there is no such perfect itinerary to the truth except increasing our awareness.This talk was about that and, as such, it's a contribution to enlightment. And Mrs Attkinson said something very important: FOLLOW THE MONEY. I would add: litterally and metaphorically.
The last great reporter.
Confirms my view that we all filter out the truth to create the reality we want to be a part of.
Exactly: thats what Attkisson and most of the commenters in this thread are doing.
