In 2005 I did a long term night security, armed post- Palm Beach County area: Florida 🌃 In the early morning, I'd return & watch Miami, south Florida news stations. EVERY weekday morning: 📰 TV reporters- it was 20-25min of; rape, rape-murder, car jacking/murder, gang murder, break-in murder, sex crime-murder. 😯
This is nice, but we already have 'We Lie to You News" on the"Awaken with JP" channel , Off topic but as an investing enthusiast, I often wonder how veteran investors get rich off dividends. I do have a good amount of capital to invest for passive income, but my focus right now is how to gain wealth from market resurgence, I'm keen on retiring early with at least $1m.
My favorite part of local news is when the live reporter stops some random passerby in an area where a crime occurred and asks them if that crime was a bad thing.
I live in New Orleans. I really don't want to know how many people were killed here in the last 24 hours. That doesn't make me a bad person. I'm just taking care of my own mental health.
It really is a dystopian world when you are more informed by following satire channels than the news itself... even with that, love you guys, keep the great work please
ALL broadcast business exists for that reason, but they sensationalize it to make sure as many people as possible are sitting in front of Neilson boxes tuned in to their channel.
The main thing missing was the anchors mentioning results of a clinical science study on behaviour, food, biology, medication, products to purchase, etc. without mentioning the sample pool size, where it was conducted, possible confirmation bias from participants, the large majority of lab results that disprove the hypothesis, how weak the results were, that other factors contributed to positive or negative results which render the whole thing inconclusive, or that the study was funded by an organization that would profit off the marketed public response the news story would create.
Every news channel in a nutshell post 2020. Talking about who profits from this "research" is now taboo. I know it was like this before, but it seems like they ramped it to godly levels.

Company spokespeople with vested interest? A loud minority of scientists who've staked their reputation on a disproven theory? Unaccountable random 'news' people on social media or an angry mob in the street? This is almost never clarified!
@@finaldusk1821 You sir, are asking the question that the majority are not. Unfortunately, they only hear ‘expert’ and blindly believe what said after. It has already been proven that corporations pay scientist “experts” what to say. I find it so odd that no one asks who the heck are these “experts.” That’s all you see on news in America as well.

Growing up my mom watched every day. Eventually I noticed how paranoid it made her. Around high school I started ignoring the news because it was negative things all the time. Like the news made it seem like you can get shot anytime you walk out the house or a freaking snow storm was the next ice age.
Exactly. Only now you can just run out of money and end up living in a park, or wake up with Agent Smith telling you that you've been cancelled and showing you your mouth all closed up and you can't speak anymore. So . . . all good.
Do people actually take these seriously? Like "you could get shot at any time!" ... Um, yeah? Obviously. Or "The economy is going doooown" Yeah, if things were looking up I wouldn't have anything to grumble about. To me it would be weird to see the news and become overly agitated/afraid of it.
As someone who has lived in south Florida for many years, the natural disaster coverage is spot on. "Well we have this cluster of clouds off the coast of Africa that has about a 20% chance of developing significantly, but we can say with 100% confidence it *will* become a hurricane and it *will* have significant impact on our local viewing area. The best course of action is to go to your local chain store who happens to be sponsoring this station and frantically buy 3 weeks worth of bottled water and non-perishable food *RIGHT NOW* "
From the north part of the Florida coastline through about the central coast of South Carolina, we're usually pretty safe from hurricanes unless the jet streams steer a storm right into us. Doesn't stop our local broadcasters from messing themselves anytime a tropical system forms. We usually get some close brushes and residual effects, but nothing major. Riding out a Category 4 storm is not an experience I would choose to repeat, but I really wish these journalists were more concerned with truth than ratings.
But stay tuned while we make you watch even more ads (the tease) so you can get the beejesus scared out of you. Run to the hardware store and stock up now!
Yeah, that's definitely why panic buying occurs. Even when it's an actual storm that could have deadly consequences if not taken seriously, the news has been known to make people confused & scared enough to buy more than they actually need & leave nothing behind for anyone else.
Busted out laughing at "Horton Hears Some News." That was gold! Also incredibly impressed at how good everyone was at sounding exactly like actual news people.
Finally some fair, unbiased news coverage from a station with the integrity to push perspectives I believe in while opposing perspectives I disagree with! I was getting worried my mind would start to open a little bit if I kept inadvertently exposing myself to "actual truths" and "differing viewpoints" much longer... Thanks, Roger and Rachel! You just saved my narrow, obedient, nondescript mind from any risk of change.
same I was worried there to, I was starting do my own research instead of listening to what some bias random people who pay to brodcast them self to the rest of us have to say. luckily I got saved to watch the same hot garbage every day and am back to getting all of my views on the world from the same people who are totally not lying to me every three seconds.
Mark Twain put it best: "If you don't read the newspaper, you're uninformed. If you read the newspaper, you're mis-informed." Replace 'newspaper' with today's news sources (both mainstream and social media since they're both terribly flawed in their own ways), and that gives you today's information conundrum. A balancing act of needing to stay informed without being misled.
Or you fight against the tide yourself with launching a news outlet that does not have any political views or is owned by anyone or in any way connected to you either.
This is the most honest news report I've seen in ages. I wish this were parody.... The reason viewers have trouble with the basic concepts that should be self evident is because of the propaganda that the news has become.

So accurate! I worked as an underling in local news 20 years ago and it was exactly this way then too. For an allegedly creative industry, you'd think that they could come up with something more original and informative.
Ch 6 CBS in Orlando FL had a on air anchor leave; late 2000s due to stress, clinical depression 😵💫. Orlando is the 17th major market in the US. She just couldn't deal with it.

I was a news reporter and had to interview a well loved hs student's parents after the death of their son due to his friends drinking and driving after a dance. My editor told me that if I wanted to be a reporter and keep my job i had to talk with them somehow. Unfortunately I went to their door and a sign said "dont knock, just come on in." I'm not there for a social visit and this is my first month in this town. So I knock, and the parents come to door, see me, i introduce myself and they just shut the door. I walk away... It reminded me of the scenerio shown in this video.

Thank you, scrolled down to see if anyone else had noticed! Ed Barnes here had the voice and mannerisms down pat. The editing of the b roll was spot-on too. Very nicely done.
Do either side actually call any of it "news" though? Everything's a story or incident or some other buzzword, but the word news seems to go out the window within seconds
I lost it when Roger said that the address the murder homicide bloodbath occurred at was the corner of "F*ck Around Avenue" and "Find out Boulevard". 🤣
As someone who worked at a local FOX affiliate for a painstakingly horrible 6 months as a young man, I can tell you this is 100% accurate. They used B roll from 8 years prior containing old people most likely passed away. Now imagine you are watching news about a local drought and see your years dead grandma or grandpa? Yeesh!
Years ago; mid 2000s - Orlando.gov area I did hotel 🏨 security at a chain place near downtown. Night hours. Around 130am we had a older lady 👵🏾 , car jacking victim about 4 blocks away. She was hurt, came into our lobby. We called ☎️ 911, sheriffs. A young TV reporter; Ch 9 WFTV did news reports, 500am 600am 800am by our lot. 🎤 I told him off camera what happened but declined going on camera, morning news.
I'm only on my 3rd year. I fell off the wagon during the last presidential disaster, when I could not pull my head away from the scary hourly news, but I'm better now!
@@MatthewTheWanderer you think actors don't just sip out of empty mugs? Sorry to break the illusion for you......but it's a known fact... Imagine doing a scene where you have to take a sip of "water" and it needs 50 takes, that's a lot of refilling and bladder filling. Hate to break it to you too, but most of the time, when there's food to be eaten, because of this same re-take issue, most people will spit out the food after the take so they don't get sick from constantly eating.

I recall the "awful" terrible tragedy of "Jan 6th" in DMV, metro DC(NCR). 1 cable news guy 📹 was standing by a pile of trash 🗑 on a street corner saying how terrible the riots, crowds were! 😭 The bags, trash were like you'd see anywhere, urban area on a street! For maybe 3-4 hours until it's cleaned-removed by city-muncipal workers. 😏
I like how the news will hook you in with an exciting exclusive just to make you wait 2/3 of the broadcast just rush through it in 15 seconds and giving little or any useful information.

Roger has done it again!!! Perfect!! This is why we only allow one news station in our home - and it’s not local or unbiased!
This is why I don't own a tv. The old saying is still good. No news is good news.😅
@@michaelharris8598This counts as tv
YOU'RE NOT SAYING JEWISH
😮
Which station?
One of your best yet; hands down 😂
Thank you Roger for covering this issue. It's funny how you're the most honest thing about news for being a satire video. Thank you.
Reporters standing in raincoats, , , ,your killin' me.
They do exactly that! On very cold days they are bundled up like Eskimos!
So brave, so honest. So true it hurts.
Very well done I must say. You guys do a better job than most local TV stations in our area!
I've just watched every news show ever. All in one place.
The way Edward moves at the beginning had me rolling. Outstanding acting I thought it was a real reporter 😂
Sounds about right. Love the dedication to the little details. It's always appreciated. 🐱
Did anyone appreciate here the accurate part of the finishing jingle and reporters having suddenly time of their lifes during the smalltalk? 😃
I like how both sides of the news love to exclude facts
Do either side actually call any of it "news" though? Everything's a story or incident or some other buzzword, but the word news seems to go out the window within seconds
And yet people still listen to and base their belief structures off of it. Madness
Wow you’re so bright….
They have to if they are choosing a "side" in the first place...
It's called news, not facts. 🤣
1:04 we actually do get the mudslides in LA. Our four seasons are fire, rain, flood, and mud 8-P
All of these are so true and funny.
This is more accurate than tonight’s local news. Horton is my go to…..for everything.
I lost it when Roger said that the address the murder homicide bloodbath occurred at was the corner of "F*ck Around Avenue" and "Find out Boulevard". 🤣
😂 fuck around Avenue. I’ve driven there a couple times
From someone who once worked in the industry, this is oddly accurate. Now… the weather.
Even better than i imagined it would be. Great work here guys. Love yalls skits 😊
As someone who worked at a local FOX affiliate for a painstakingly horrible 6 months as a young man, I can tell you this is 100% accurate. They used B roll from 8 years prior containing old people most likely passed away. Now imagine you are watching news about a local drought and see your years dead grandma or grandpa? Yeesh!
Years ago; mid 2000s - Orlando.gov area I did hotel 🏨 security at a chain place near downtown. Night hours. Around 130am we had a older lady 👵🏾 , car jacking victim about 4 blocks away. She was hurt, came into our lobby. We called ☎️ 911, sheriffs. A young TV reporter; Ch 9 WFTV did news reports, 500am 600am 800am by our lot. 🎤 I told him off camera what happened but declined going on camera, morning news.
This channel should have more than a million subs by now. This man is an asset
Horton hears some news I love it.
the globe in the background being faced the wrong way / mirrored for no reason makes it eaven better
This couldn’t be more accurate. Again, you’ve nailed it correctly!
Frighteningly accurate.
An airplane falls just once, but on the news it falls 500 times for weeks. Next you'll see an insurance commercial.
Then a law firm ad. Have you been injured in a plane accident?
@@JoseLopez-tk4tq No, I just used to watch the news until 11 years ago.
I feel like I just watched an actual news broadcast. That's how real this was!
Best one so far, by far. Great work!
Most accurate journalism I've ever seen.
This may as well be an actual broadcast.
Best news I saw ever! Thanks! Great job!
This is the closest I'll get to a Roger Onion News combo. I'll take it.
It's just sad that the news "drama" fearporn is SO scripted it's this easy to mock... but horton does a great job of making us laugh, as always!
I love ur content especially how it's so scaringly accurate
Omg that was absolutely perfect, thank you for taking the time to make this video it was awesome
One of the best decisions I made was to completely stop watching all the news!
absolutely, 8 years sober
15 years sober. Never looked back.
I'm only on my 3rd year. I fell off the wagon during the last presidential disaster, when I could not pull my head away from the scary hourly news, but I'm better now!
@@ChrisPTY507 life is so much better and you really don’t miss anything besides knowing the weather lol
@@whereareyouatlee Yes sirrr!!!
You are amazing old man!!! So are your friends, but you are truly an artist!
Kind of off topic, but damn, Roger's stage sip was damn good, I'm not actually 100% sure there wasn't any drink in his mug!
You think actors usually sip out of empty mugs? It was probably just water.
@@MatthewTheWanderer you think actors don't just sip out of empty mugs?
Sorry to break the illusion for you......but it's a known fact...
Imagine doing a scene where you have to take a sip of "water" and it needs 50 takes, that's a lot of refilling and bladder filling.
Hate to break it to you too, but most of the time, when there's food to be eaten, because of this same re-take issue, most people will spit out the food after the take so they don't get sick from constantly eating.
@3:17 "Our viewers don't understand basic concepts, why do you think they are watching?" - pretty much sums up any "North East West South programs" or TV in general.
I'd call that accurate and I appreciate you not crapping on half of your audience blaming everything on only the right or left
Don't forget reporters in floods standing on their knees to make it look deeper than it really is
Not to mention the cgi sharks swimming dangerously close. Oh my!
I recall the "awful" terrible tragedy of "Jan 6th" in DMV, metro DC(NCR). 1 cable news guy 📹 was standing by a pile of trash 🗑 on a street corner saying how terrible the riots, crowds were! 😭 The bags, trash were like you'd see anywhere, urban area on a street! For maybe 3-4 hours until it's cleaned-removed by city-muncipal workers. 😏
when you get more accurate news from satire you know there's a problem
"speaking of impending doom"....brilliant!
"Here's all the bad things that happened in your local area so good luck and good night!" - news anchors
The globe being a “mirror” globe was a nice touch
“Remind me to tell you something racist later” killed me
I almost forgot that I wasn’t watching the actual local news😂
Tuned into the news on time today
Horton appears to be doing well for himself. I like to believe he is nourished by spite.
I like the graphic images warning. Then all you see is pouring rain. Or the reassurance that the journalists will be following the story closely.
I learnt long ago that when you hear them say "We'll keep you posted", that's the last you'll hear of that story.
Easily the best episode of honest ads
This is one of the best ones you’ve done, right next to the political debate video
Literally so true.
Excellent ... I hope there is a ‘Horton Hears ... ‘ series in production. 😀👍
This was the most informative and accurate news I’ve seen in awhile! 😂
I like how the news will hook you in with an exciting exclusive just to make you wait 2/3 of the broadcast just rush through it in 15 seconds and giving little or any useful information.
Could this household product be killing your children? More after this next segment.
Find out what food might be killing your family, tomorrow night at 10 !
"Fuckaround Ave and Findout Blv" killed me.
Yep, most accurate news I've seen in decades and I'm pretty old.
The most accurate news channel I’ve seen yet 👌
all the best to you, Roger! keeping things real.
Wow, some news is such a great idea. If only there was a place to get some more news.
