Agree that we should shift as much of our spending as we can to small local businesses away from corporations owned by greedy billionaires. And buy from local farmers and food producers where possible, not overly processed food like products from corporations.
@@bevtaylor5466 I can agree with spending local and even to supporting local news sources, be they TV or online. I am not sold however, on the idea that abandoning corporate media will strengthen democracy in any way. I believe that social media and special interest podcasts do more to divide public opinion and harden the hyper-partisan narratives than they do to inform the public on the news of the day.
I agree totally. I feel like the democrats lied about Biden's condition, and Harris and Biden pretended to be more progressive than they are. Trump, of course, did nothing but lie. I don't want to have to choose between outright lies and propaganda. I don't trust anyone.
@kulafachi9571 Fox thrives on telling lies and they are still doing OK mainly because the never deviate from telling lies so they are consistent as far as that goes
The simple answer is that people are tired of corporate media not addressing their needs. I mean a Healthcare ceo is murdered and the only discussion being had is how wrong the murder was and not how greedy Healthcare companies murder people by denying care everyday. People are fed up. I'm FED UP.
I just saw a video I think CBS talk about the healthcare "problem" and they did a trumpism. They talked about the problem but never even hinted at a solution of any kind. Not a whisper of medicare for all nor any other solution. It was a pointless video.
I am not “exhausted” i am enraged at corporate media and will never give them a minute of my time. They helped to sanewash and normalize the disgusting traitor.
Joe and Mika broke the dam. Wasn't their biggest fan, but they threw it in our faces with the visit to King Trumpo. Never again to sit thru Joe taking 10 minutes to ask a 30 second question.
Why would anybody watch corporate media anymore when all they did was show for Donald Trump and dismiss all Joe Biden, and the rest of the Democratic parties accomplishments.
If I remember correctly they were all propping up Joe Biden until that disasterous debate and crucified Trump with every insult under the sun. Then when Biden became too big of a liability after that debate(and you have to be utterly delusional if you thought he could win after that) they did their best with Kamala while relentlessly attacking Trump(they continue to do so to this day, but have somewhat mellowed in their approach). The only thing that I can think of MSM could have done more to stop Trump was send Rachel Maddow and ask her to literally pull the trigger on Trump on July 13.
News host and reporters are NOT supposed to be friends with the politicians they interview. They are supposed to hold them accountable. It’s one of the reasons we are where we are as a country.

CNN you let people on panels that bold face lie....do not get called..sorry I am burned out with the 💩 .....so in last months very little of your station do I eatch the panels are fox like crap....not our fault not ours.
The irony is that theres so much to report on corporate corruption, healthcare, failing infrastructure, dismantling of education, worker rights violations like wage theft etc, they never in depthly cover, at least consistently things that matter to people. How about dedicating programming everyday to housing crisis? Talk about whats happening to the working class.
Because that would require acceptance and ownership that the previous four years under Biden/Harris were a complete failure where none of these issues were addressed.

I'm tired of entertainment news. Where are the laws that you can't call yourself a news provider and then just give your opinion. Same with political ads they are never true. I'm done with it all. Keep doing what you're doing David 💯
Then you shouldn't watch David thinking he's better than the other entertaining commentators. I've been over him since he's failed to cover several stories that show progressives can make our country better, safer and more equitable. But he just wants to show the same clips of maga getting owned in interviews and committees like everyone else.
The political adds on TV, radio, internet, and utube in October and November was 100% ridiculous. I shut off all that stuff, tuned out, quit. I played old dvd's, vcr tapes and music CD's so I didn't have to see or listen to political commercials spewing non stopped, propaganda, hatred & lies.
I will never watch Morning Jo every again. He talks about how he and his wife Mika was looking out for us but they were really looking out for their own ASSES
A lot of us got duped into thinking the maga / trump craziness was sbout to go away. We were told by all the media what a lunatic and a criminal he is. And he won anyway. Most people are realizing how much time they wasted watching political news, and would rather go fishing
You still need MSM cuz only they have the infrastructure to put the boots on the ground to actually gather the facts about the events in somewhat responsible manner.
I kept telling folks the idiots were shooting themselves in the foot by legitimizing him in favor of ratings. Now, more than likely, they won't even be allowed to accurately report news without repercussions. They literally sold their souls.
That's all the independent news media does, just take a look at the vids uploaded by channels like david pakman, Brian T cohen, Luke beasly, majority report etc. They are nothing but 95% Trump bashing videos or how they owned a MAGA person on some podcast.
Speaking strictly for myself, this reporting is absolutely true. I've bailed on getting my news from legacy media. I want the news that matters to me. I want the truth. Thanks for the truth David.
They knew hiring him was a bad idea. It’s not about doing better or more ratings. It’s about getting the right wing agenda out there to more people to those who weren’t watching Fox. Let’s see if we can muddy the waters in the CNN audience.
It started before that. Reagan ended the Fairness Doctrine, so they no longer had to tell both sides. Thus we got hyper partisan outlets like FOX and Alex Jones. Then Clinton signed the Telecommunications Act of 1996 into law, and that allowed corporate interests to buy up most mainstream media. So it’s curated to serve corporate interests. It’s been downhill from there.
If a media company is owned by a billionaire many topics cannot be discussed; they would hurt his profit. And Americans have been cut off from world news. Otherwise people could compare their living standard with people from other countries - heaven forbid! If you want to see a 24/7 news cycle watch DW or France24. They have no problem filling that time with actual news.
Platforms like yours are thriving because you tell the TRUTH. I'm sick of media that normalizes fascism, fails to provide coverage of important issues, and sometimes flat out lies.
@@DogsRule24 Our comments reflect our own values, opinions and desires, son. Instead of pretending someone else wants trump's body, perhaps it might be time for you to leave the closet?
David, sir, I would like to point out that the MSNBC 4pm to 11pm isn't as bad as any of the networks because those are hard knocks, unlike the earlier block.
I cant tell you how disappointed I am with CBS. I really thought they had some journalistic integrity. The hosts rarely call out the Trump suck ups, going on their "show". They deserve it.

@@ricardocabeza6006 what you don’t seem to understand is that they are all owned by the top 6 in the Billionaire class who are feeding us all the 💩 that they can through combined efforts to “fool” the people. It’s called brainwashing the masses with the narrative that THEY want us to believe so that we fall in line with their power grabs and greed and don’t fight them off for lying to us and stirring up the pot and destroying the country so they can enjoy their oligarchy benefits. The media is being paid to control the minds of the people. Stop letting them control you.
Nobody does it more than this traitor. His videos are 90% Trump obsessed. He does this bc he’s feeding off of your hate of the best president of all time 🇺🇸
I'm concerned they'll use AI to agressively censor what can be said. We've all seen it happen to our deleted comments and videos on here. If they get rid of media platforms they don't control like TikTok (not that it is great either), it won't be long until AI can be used to completely control the narrative. How long would it take for the population to catch on that it was happening? I'm incredibly concerned for the direction our communications are heading.
I'd rather they not watch any media than corporate news. Corporate media betrayed truth in the name of profits. That betrayal has led to irreparable damage to not only this country but also to the world as a whole. If they collapse thanks to their greed then they brought it upon themselves.
This is exactly what the voice inside my head has been saying for the first five minutes of the video. Pakman's point about no editors and no filters is a double-edged sword. You also dont have a team of fact-checkers making sure that you dont provide incorrect information, or a team of lawyers making sure you arent defaming or otherwise saying things that have the potential to create legal problems. Those are GOOD THINGS, and the fact that independent voices usually dont have these resources -- thats something that the indie podcasters need to find a way to address. Of course legacy media has dropped the ball, a bit, in terms of ensuring that it reports facts and not just unlabled opinions [not FOX, of course, but the other terrestrial networks...] . But in terms of factual credibility, they still surpass nearly all of the podcasters. To put it another way - 90% of what I hear on CNN or MSNBC is just opinion and spin. But when I do hear an anchor (as opposed to a guest) state something as a fact, Im pretty confident that the fact is accurate and has been confirmed by the broadcaster's fact checkers. When I hear the Young Turks, Dollermore, BTC or Pakman say something similar, I almost always feel the need to fact-check the assertion myself, because to be perfectly honest, even the bigger podcasting groups have a lousy record on fact-checking.
@@k-matsuif David makes an error on one of his shows,he'll come out and admit it on another podcast. He's been wrong a few times but is man enough to admit it. I like that about him.
I’m 50 and worked in print media, mainly the Guardian. It is not corporate media, it is protected by a trust. But newspapers are dying and with the exception of the Guardian are violating unwritten codes of ethics and publishing hyperbole, innuendo and even falsehoods. I retired just in time.
David. I am done with ALL corporate media. I am done with the lies, done with pundits, done with false narratives and 24-hour news cycles. This is why I choose REAL news programs like yours. All of these corporate news shows are shallow and don't wanna bring the fire to the feet of people who are causing the most chaos.
I think your eyes are beautiful, David. I know it is very difficult but don’t acknowledge or listen to the haters. I appreciate your show and the professionalism you offer.
I remember listening to a local public radio station that had extended discussions about things that were hashed out in the NYRB years before. The same station saw contributions nosedive after Boy George was reelected in 2004.
You summed it up correctly. I am exhausted, period. I won’t go back to mainstream media as they did not cover the candidates equally and fairly. I no longer trust them. Now it’s like… no matter what they do, how and if they change, they’ve lost me for good. I’ve already shut off CNN, ABC, CBS. I’m still watching CNBC a bit, not much.
@@Tlab0624 You know they want to. The oligarchs have been gunning for Big Bird and Elmo for quite awhile. They hate the fact that PBS teaches and informs kids and adults with facts. The oligarchs feel that an educated population is a dangerous population for them to F with.
I watch local news on TV; and get my national and international news from Deutche Welt, BBC, Al Jazeera and CBC. (And you, David Pakman!) I have removed MSNBC, CNN, and FOX from my television selection.
You hit the nail on the head. Corporate media lacks authenticity. That wasn’t a problem when they had no competition but now authentic people can share news and it’s much more refreshing to enjoy and connect with.
IMHO GOOD!!!! They should be scrambling because they haven't done their damn job! Once in a great while I will watch a MSM clip but 95% of my information comes from independent media. There is only one MSM journalist I watch daily and that is Lawrence O'Donnell. I have great respect for his integrity and the fact he is not afraid to take the gloves off and call out the BS.
For me is neither fatigue or trust for me is pain. It's painful to see what's getting ready to happen and what America voted for is very painful to be reminded of what's to come To see bad acts rewarded ( Social bullying is domestic terror Mafia style ) ... it's to painful
David, you are so right about the MSM selling out to corporate greed. 2 years ago I determined corporate media had already sold out. The only one that even had a chance with me for a while was CBS, but then the lack of objective analysis and the slowpitch softball interviews with R's and red caps completely turned me off. Sites like yours are the only ones I can go to and get real (not "alternative") facts, and cogent critical thinking. Thank you!
The corporate media are hoping the public will return once Trump gets bak in office. Not me. My advice, you guy stay on top of the news. Do indepth journalism and less opinion. Put democrat leaders we don't hear from on but only question and answer sessions that give us more information. We want information, not never ending repeating drama headlines. We want to be treated like we have a brain and can develop our own opinions.
Dave I'll be honest, I was a full Maga Trumper until I saw how adequately spaced apart your eyes were and I've fully converted into a progressive. Keep up the good eye work!
For my mental wellbeing I got off Twitter, stopped watching MSNBC and even independent news media the night of the election as it was too depressing. Watching a few of David's videos like this one is one of the few videos I have watched.
Here is the real story: for at least nine years, non-Fox media was really a long-running crime drama. From Meuller through to Jack Smith and the endless raft of crimes and prosecutions- how was it all going to come out in the end? How was the criminal going to be brought to justice? Then we got the final episode. And, well- Darth Vader strikes down Luke with his lightsaber. The Wicked Witch fires a blast of flame and burns Dorothy and Toto alive. Snape turns out to be a bad guy after all and strangles Harry Potter. Frodo and Samwise fall off a cliff to their deaths and Sauron uses the ring to kill Gandalf. Ming the Merciless vaporizes Flash Gordon with a ray gun; the Joker kills Batman. Roll end credits. The good guys lose. Trump wins. It's all wrong; the criminal rapist is not supposed to win! Who wrote this thing? Of course everyone just turned it right off. Who wants to see the next installment in this series when we know that this is the ending?
I stopped watching mainstream media twenty years ago. My granddaughter introduced me to TH-cam about ten years ago. And yes I trust independent media much more. There is a general feeling of honesty and realism. The casual dressing, glitches, and background noises create a much more pleasant inviting atmosphere. Keep up the good work! And thank you.
The people I know that watch CNN and MSNBC, that stop looking at those networks, are tired of hearing about Trump. They would rather them talk about something else, other than Trump and his staff picks.
When corporate media tries to normalize a felon running for president that's when I stopped watching the news
Trump: “THEY’RE EATING THE DOGS! THEY’RE EATING THE CATS!”
CNN: “Trump talked about immigration last night”
Me too!!!!

I'm tired of entertainment news. Where are the laws that you can't call yourself a news provider and then just give your opinion. Same with political ads they are never true. I'm done with it all. Keep doing what you're doing David 💯
Then you shouldn't watch David thinking he's better than the other entertaining commentators. I've been over him since he's failed to cover several stories that show progressives can make our country better, safer and more equitable. But he just wants to show the same clips of maga getting owned in interviews and committees like everyone else.
The political adds on TV, radio, internet, and utube in October and November was 100% ridiculous. I shut off all that stuff, tuned out, quit. I played old dvd's, vcr tapes and music CD's so I didn't have to see or listen to political commercials spewing non stopped, propaganda, hatred & lies.
I just listen to the people who are telling the truth. Thank you David for being here for us.
Who are they? I want to hear them too.
I will never watch Morning Jo every again. He talks about how he and his wife Mika was looking out for us but they were really looking out for their own ASSES
That visit was the nail in their coffin 😡 I felt BETRAYED! Done!
I used to look forward to Morning Joe....quit November 1st.
A lot of us got duped into thinking the maga / trump craziness was sbout to go away. We were told by all the media what a lunatic and a criminal he is. And he won anyway. Most people are realizing how much time they wasted watching political news, and would rather go fishing
Why bother now. They failed us
You still need MSM cuz only they have the infrastructure to put the boots on the ground to actually gather the facts about the events in somewhat responsible manner.
Corporate media probably thought Trump would be a ratings bonanza when in actuality people are just tired of his demented rants.
I kept telling folks the idiots were shooting themselves in the foot by legitimizing him in favor of ratings. Now, more than likely, they won't even be allowed to accurately report news without repercussions. They literally sold their souls.
That's all the independent news media does, just take a look at the vids uploaded by channels like david pakman, Brian T cohen, Luke beasly, majority report etc. They are nothing but 95% Trump bashing videos or how they owned a MAGA person on some podcast.
But you're not tired of his demented rants. That's why you watch people like David endlessly talk about him.
@@ricardocabeza6006 They won't watch multimillionaires rant about Trump, they'll just watch ordinary millionaries rant about Trump 🤣
People aren't buying what they're selling anymore. Sucks to be them.
The only news you hear is the news they chose to report.
I’ve long been done with corporate media
A win for both the left and the right
Me too, 4 years ago.
It's unwatchable
I do watch now and then, just so I am clear as to what they are feeding people.
Doesn't Pakman just parrot what is said on corporate media?
Speaking strictly for myself, this reporting is absolutely true. I've bailed on getting my news from legacy media. I want the news that matters to me. I want the truth. Thanks for the truth David.
And CNN thought Scott Jennings was a good idea. More like a bad joke.
They knew hiring him was a bad idea. It’s not about doing better or more ratings. It’s about getting the right wing agenda out there to more people to those who weren’t watching Fox. Let’s see if we can muddy the waters in the CNN audience.
When you cater to 1%, don't be shocked 99% tune out
Well, thoughts and prayers. If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything.
I still watch certain people on MSNBC
O'Donnell and Maddow. Even O'Donnell can be monotonous in repeating the headlines.
While they're still there...😮
I luv joy reid.
Racheal and Lawrence that’s it😊😊😊
@@LuciLilikoi-mz9weLawrence is great😊😊😊
Where will shows like David’s get their topics if corporate media isn’t out there investigating for them?
The 24/7 news cycle killed decent journalism. It became more important to fill airtime than inform people.
It started before that. Reagan ended the Fairness Doctrine, so they no longer had to tell both sides. Thus we got hyper partisan outlets like FOX and Alex Jones.
Then Clinton signed the Telecommunications Act of 1996 into law, and that allowed corporate interests to buy up most mainstream media. So it’s curated to serve corporate interests. It’s been downhill from there.
If a media company is owned by a billionaire many topics cannot be discussed; they would hurt his profit. And Americans have been cut off from world news. Otherwise people could compare their living standard with people from other countries - heaven forbid!
If you want to see a 24/7 news cycle watch DW or France24. They have no problem filling that time with actual news.
Platforms like yours are thriving because you tell the TRUTH. I'm sick of media that normalizes fascism, fails to provide coverage of important issues, and sometimes flat out lies.
I can’t take anymore coverage of Trump - at all.
That’s ALL David talks about? His videos are literally 90% Trump. Bc he secretly wants his orange body
@@DogsRule24 Our comments reflect our own values, opinions and desires, son. Instead of pretending someone else wants trump's body, perhaps it might be time for you to leave the closet?
David, sir, I would like to point out that the MSNBC 4pm to 11pm isn't as bad as any of the networks because those are hard knocks, unlike the earlier block.
American politics have become an industry in and of itself. Too many people are getting wealthy on American politics for them to remain honest.
I cant tell you how disappointed I am with CBS. I really thought they had some journalistic integrity. The hosts rarely call out the Trump suck ups, going on their "show". They deserve it.
We’re not bailing on national media necessarily , Im bailing on hearing anything Trump! 😢
They led with trump daily for four years that he wasn't even in office...we can only imagine four more...and I'm out.
I think it’s their fault that we got stuck with the trump circus 🎪 of television 📺 drama 🎭. I’m over it. They didn’t help us, they HURT us.
Is the blame game starting? Hang on, let me grab my popcorn.
@ if you aren’t blaming the media for this circus 🎪 you aren’t paying attention. Forget the popcorn 🍿 just binge watch Sesame Street so you can catch up to current events.
@@Ghost-Mama Joy Reid had an entire segment before the election comparing Trump to historic fascist and dictators. You blaming the media is absolutely hilarious. Maybe one day you'll look in the mirror instead of pointing fingers. But until then, I need some popcorn. LMAO
@@ricardocabeza6006 what you don’t seem to understand is that they are all owned by the top 6 in the Billionaire class who are feeding us all the 💩 that they can through combined efforts to “fool” the people. It’s called brainwashing the masses with the narrative that THEY want us to believe so that we fall in line with their power grabs and greed and don’t fight them off for lying to us and stirring up the pot and destroying the country so they can enjoy their oligarchy benefits. The media is being paid to control the minds of the people. Stop letting them control you.
@@ricardocabeza6006 you don’t understand the system that you live in. enjoy your popcorn 🍿.
It's hard to keep watching the news when you know that Trump is going to remain in the center of the political universe for at least the next 4 years
Nobody does it more than this traitor. His videos are 90% Trump obsessed. He does this bc he’s feeding off of your hate of the best president of all time 🇺🇸
I gave up on TV because of the incessant commercials plus increasing cost and scanty quality programming.
I won't go back to legacy media
I'm concerned they'll use AI to agressively censor what can be said. We've all seen it happen to our deleted comments and videos on here. If they get rid of media platforms they don't control like TikTok (not that it is great either), it won't be long until AI can be used to completely control the narrative. How long would it take for the population to catch on that it was happening?
I'm incredibly concerned for the direction our communications are heading.
Lmfao. Right wing media however is doing just fine. Wake up clowns
Honestly I would rather people watch corporate media than Tim Pool. Not every independent media outlet is David Pakman
I'd rather they not watch any media than corporate news. Corporate media betrayed truth in the name of profits. That betrayal has led to irreparable damage to not only this country but also to the world as a whole. If they collapse thanks to their greed then they brought it upon themselves.
This is exactly what the voice inside my head has been saying for the first five minutes of the video.
Pakman's point about no editors and no filters is a double-edged sword. You also dont have a team of fact-checkers making sure that you dont provide incorrect information, or a team of lawyers making sure you arent defaming or otherwise saying things that have the potential to create legal problems. Those are GOOD THINGS, and the fact that independent voices usually dont have these resources -- thats something that the indie podcasters need to find a way to address. Of course legacy media has dropped the ball, a bit, in terms of ensuring that it reports facts and not just unlabled opinions [not FOX, of course, but the other terrestrial networks...] . But in terms of factual credibility, they still surpass nearly all of the podcasters.
To put it another way - 90% of what I hear on CNN or MSNBC is just opinion and spin. But when I do hear an anchor (as opposed to a guest) state something as a fact, Im pretty confident that the fact is accurate and has been confirmed by the broadcaster's fact checkers. When I hear the Young Turks, Dollermore, BTC or Pakman say something similar, I almost always feel the need to fact-check the assertion myself, because to be perfectly honest, even the bigger podcasting groups have a lousy record on fact-checking.
The Young Turks have proven that, particularly Cenk and Ana.
Medias touch network,the bulwark, Lincoln Project, the short clips by Farron Cousins....there are several options.
@@k-matsuif David makes an error on one of his shows,he'll come out and admit it on another podcast. He's been wrong a few times but is man enough to admit it. I like that about him.
I’m 50 and worked in print media, mainly the Guardian. It is not corporate media, it is protected by a trust. But newspapers are dying and with the exception of the Guardian are violating unwritten codes of ethics and publishing hyperbole, innuendo and even falsehoods. I retired just in time.
David. I am done with ALL corporate media. I am done with the lies, done with pundits, done with false narratives and 24-hour news cycles.
This is why I choose REAL news programs like yours.
All of these corporate news shows are shallow and don't wanna bring the fire to the feet of people who are causing the most chaos.
Lol you're joking about Hakman being real news, right?
The soft question, lies they don't call out. They treat as if we don't have a mind of our own or the ability to think for ourselves.
😂 this twerp is the the biggest liar on TH-cam
I think your eyes are beautiful, David. I know it is very difficult but don’t acknowledge or listen to the haters. I appreciate your show and the professionalism you offer.

I was so disgusted with the blind support for Israel that I stopped watching the news and quit Facebook. I watch Democracy Now occasionally.
TV news is going to the same Graveyard as Print Media 😮
I remember listening to a local public radio station that had extended discussions about things that were hashed out in the NYRB years before. The same station saw contributions nosedive after Boy George was reelected in 2004.
We watched it on television. Now we watch the news on our phones.
Me to a Canadian😊😊😊😊
I feel sorry for the Americans 😢
I want to be happy that corporate media is failing but the gains on Faux news strips all of the joy away.
You summed it up correctly. I am exhausted, period. I won’t go back to mainstream media as they did not cover the candidates equally and fairly. I no longer trust them. Now it’s like… no matter what they do, how and if they change, they’ve lost me for good. I’ve already shut off CNN, ABC, CBS. I’m still watching CNBC a bit, not much.
PBS news hour guys.
Amanpour and Co. is another excellent news program on PBS.
Watch it. I started watching PBS news years ago,even before 45 entered the scene. And at night I'd watch the BBC on the PBS network.
Before Trump and Elon defund PBS
@@Tlab0624 You know they want to. The oligarchs have been gunning for Big Bird and Elmo for quite awhile. They hate the fact that PBS teaches and informs kids and adults with facts. The oligarchs feel that an educated population is a dangerous population for them to F with.
@@micheleconner5083 Both Simple unbiased news not selling out for ratings.
Thank you, David. I stopped watching corporate media years ago.
I watch local news on TV; and get my national and international news from Deutche Welt, BBC, Al Jazeera and CBC. (And you, David Pakman!)
I have removed MSNBC, CNN, and FOX from my television selection.
Four more years of Trump, Trump, Trump on every news channel, no thanks.
You hit the nail on the head. Corporate media lacks authenticity. That wasn’t a problem when they had no competition but now authentic people can share news and it’s much more refreshing to enjoy and connect with.
I've been tuning out for sure
IMHO GOOD!!!! They should be scrambling because they haven't done their damn job! Once in a great while I will watch a MSM clip but 95% of my information comes from independent media. There is only one MSM journalist I watch daily and that is Lawrence O'Donnell. I have great respect for his integrity and the fact he is not afraid to take the gloves off and call out the BS.
Yes, Lawrence is great.
Lawrence is always worth listening to - he's a straight talker.
Corporate media leaned for trump so heavily I can't watch them at all.
Thank whoever put Scott on CNN, Joe and Mika.
For me is neither fatigue or trust for me is pain. It's painful to see what's getting ready to happen and what America voted for is very painful to be reminded of what's to come
To see bad acts rewarded ( Social bullying is domestic terror Mafia style ) ... it's to painful
Hello David, I love the show❤
David, you are so right about the MSM selling out to corporate greed. 2 years ago I determined corporate media had already sold out. The only one that even had a chance with me for a while was CBS, but then the lack of objective analysis and the slowpitch softball interviews with R's and red caps completely turned me off. Sites like yours are the only ones I can go to and get real (not "alternative") facts, and cogent critical thinking. Thank you!
No more subscriptions to ANY corporate news! Bye!
David, you're doing well. I will keep following you, all the way from New Zealand.
The corporate media are hoping the public will return once Trump gets bak in office. Not me. My advice, you guy stay on top of the news. Do indepth journalism and less opinion. Put democrat leaders we don't hear from on but only question and answer sessions that give us more information. We want information, not never ending repeating drama headlines. We want to be treated like we have a brain and can develop our own opinions.
Dave I'll be honest, I was a full Maga Trumper until I saw how adequately spaced apart your eyes were and I've fully converted into a progressive. Keep up the good eye work!
This is sweet. They can't disappear fast enough
I'm now only on independent media on TH-cam.
Me too😊
For my mental wellbeing I got off Twitter, stopped watching MSNBC and even independent news media the night of the election as it was too depressing. Watching a few of David's videos like this one is one of the few videos I have watched.
Yeah, I'm pretty much done with all news media at this point
So true that we are sick of mainstream media. All of it. Same old sh*t all day every day. Thankful for you & your colleagues.
The ultimate price for moral bankruptcy
I stoped watching ALL corporate/legacy media the morning of Wednesday November 6 and have NO intention of going back...
Here is the real story: for at least nine years, non-Fox media was really a long-running crime drama. From Meuller through to Jack Smith and the endless raft of crimes and prosecutions- how was it all going to come out in the end? How was the criminal going to be brought to justice?
Then we got the final episode. And, well- Darth Vader strikes down Luke with his lightsaber. The Wicked Witch fires a blast of flame and burns Dorothy and Toto alive. Snape turns out to be a bad guy after all and strangles Harry Potter. Frodo and Samwise fall off a cliff to their deaths and Sauron uses the ring to kill Gandalf. Ming the Merciless vaporizes Flash Gordon with a ray gun; the Joker kills Batman.
Roll end credits.
The good guys lose. Trump wins.
It's all wrong; the criminal rapist is not supposed to win! Who wrote this thing?
Of course everyone just turned it right off. Who wants to see the next installment in this series when we know that this is the ending?
I can't watch that trash anymore.
I stopped watching mainstream media twenty years ago. My granddaughter introduced me to TH-cam about ten years ago. And yes I trust independent media much more. There is a general feeling of honesty and realism. The casual dressing, glitches, and background noises create a much more pleasant inviting atmosphere. Keep up the good work! And thank you.
Good for you😊😊
The people I know that watch CNN and MSNBC, that stop looking at those networks, are tired of hearing about Trump. They would rather them talk about something else, other than Trump and his staff picks.
