- We're all aware of fake news, but is that all we need to be aware of? As younger generations increasingly get their news from non-news and higher entertainment value sources...it begs the question: when does information become...manipulation? This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
As an educator, I am always trying to find resources to help my students understand media bias and how they should really research the “news” they hear and the interest behind publishing that “news”. This is a great resource, especially the end! It really challenges your thinking!
This is exactly how I hoped my talk would be used. Thank you so much!
My teachers did this for me and 5 years out of high school I can tell you that the lesson stuck with me and has been very helpful
Great job as an educator . Lack of freedom of media in Spain is very visible
Great point, this needs to be q fundamental part of education
You're a great mentor and wise educator
"News is not the product anymore our attention is"
exactly!
More like personal data and digital profiles based on our attention.
Believe me, not following the news can be just as manipulative, and the same effect will be achieved through some mass fragmentation of information.
I know I’m being manipulated, I just don’t know by whom.
It’s EVERYONE! Sadly….
Media, government, advertisements for food then u crave it
of course your being manipulated from the Government
Question everything, everyone. Always ask, who’s paying? Why? Who gains? What do they gain?
Society we live in, our world is built that way ! Because people are lazy to come up with something better, or it’s possible it will just be lame, to keep things interesting we need to figure out how to stay motivated.
I moved to the US in 1997 and the first thing which surprised me was discovery that there are no news here..only entertainment..
"trusted source" that's a big one.
definitely, and not so easy to find...
there are no "trusted sources" if you are smart.
@@natepressner8183 how can we see the manipulating individual data.
Excellent points. Fake news is a real problem, and getting news from comedians isn't the best idea we've ever had.
Exactly, a lot of discernment goes a long way these days
russel brand doesnt agree with you...
I think the consolidation and out-shouting of anything else by the corporate media - 6 major corporations own the whole media today, and they can overwhelm any other voices because they have the main channels of media in their control, and they can outshout and also control other channels of thought, like opinion journalists who pretend and claim to be independent, but we never hear a fun story - we hear what we are supposed to believe to be a good citizen worker in their opinions. Fake news is just one means to that end. It's bad, but I think we would not have fake news, otherwise known as lies, if it was not working somehow in conjunction with the corporate oligarch media. This really started getting bad round about the time of Rupert Murdock and FOX News.
the sky is blue
Also another thing is that peoples attention spans need to be extended
By having a thorough understanding of psychology and social dynamics a population as a whole can be steered in just about any desired direction. We've seen this exact technique used very effectively during the past 18 months. It's fascinating really.
We're still seeing it. And rather than fascinating, I would define it terrifying.
Fear by Laura Dodsworth has really opened my eyes to this
Fascinating in a very destructive way much like the atomic bomb was fascinating
Today it is communism (inequality) and national socialism (racism) propaganda + climate propaganda = global socialism. The new world order they've been planning.
The problem is, the people pulling the strings, your strings, our strings, have put years of research into how do this effectively and imperceptibly. The manipulators have researched psychology and sociology and use our nature to nurture polarization and hot button issues that make people react emotionally rather than with logic and reason.
Great point
They have mastered it to a T 👌🏻theres not stopping the machine
Its sad people know so little about how they are getting manipulated.
It's beyond sad.....it's depressing.
You guys wanna manipulate the world with me
Absolutely fabulous message for the youth of today, and everyone really. Congratulations on a great talk (and how funny that we share the same last name!)
Kristen Pressner Which, by this young man’s very premise, means your guard was down when you watched it, eh?
@@msleaves1 Probably LOL! :)
Great talk! I had my college son and middle school daughter watch this talk! By the way, Professor Mike Griffin was my instructor at the University of Guam. He was one of the best and obviously still is with you mentioning him on your show 0:36 Looking forward to more.
thank you :)
Where do you get your news?
Published 4 years ago, 148k views, 300+ comments, didn’t show up as recommended, searched for it. Hmmmmmmm.
Absolutely fabulous TEDx Talk, excellent insights! Congrats, Nate!
Thanks so much!
@@natepressner8183 The only Journalism training I have is from way back in 1987/88 when I was a jr. in high school. But as I remember a "News" article only needed to answer a few simple questions and anything more than that was no longer "news" it became "editorial". It's my view the biggest problem with our so called "news" today is that it is extremely hard to find any that isn't editorial in one way or another.
When people only had news papers the "news" was on the front pages and the "editorials" were in the back. There was a clear and distinct line between the two. That's not to say the news was free from being editorialized but when writing what I call a "pure news" article that only serves to answer the 5 questions insertion of bias becomes more difficult and was often reduced to nuance and subtlety. The same can be said about television news, the editorials were on very late night and Sundays, the hard news at 7 and 11.
I think a huge part of the problem is people simply don't know that news doesn't tell you how to feel, or if it's good or bad. All "news" does is answer five very simple questions - who, what, when, where and how. The problems arise when these questions have different answers from different sources or when they start telling you how to feel.
I do know that I'm being manipulated, & it gives nothing more than immense pain, especially when realizing that nobody else is realizing that themselves, & taking steps to resist it.
Thank you for being honest and aware of what is going on.
thanks!
Great talk and very thought-provoking message. Thanks :)
Thank you!
"The youth of today are increasingly getting their information from non-news sources" DAMN RIGHT SPITTING FACTS.
it is so hard to know which news source is fake or which is bias.
that’s why we have to have a really good media literacy.
Yeah it is, but you can spot it when you look deeper into it. But when you participate in a ideology, then you will only see the „bad guys“ doing the fake news not your own sources
Fantastic talk, really well done Nate!
Thanks a lot Cheer Partners!
Great talk Nate! ❤️❤️
This is media...this is manipulative...this is facts but also propaganda. So the thing is we need more media literacy and biases aware.
exactly, I hope my talk helps
How do you define “propaganda”? By what you write here, it seems any form of information sharing is propaganda.
The paradox begins when this video manipulates us
Exactly 🤯
The best source of news I ever found was the Onion.
It’s happening all the time. You even have to question if you want something or were you told you want something now. All I can say is take a moment every now and then to clear your head . It’s the only way I know for certain something is actually my own idea.
Critical Thinking 101.
Get this curriculum into public grade school ASAP.
Never mind being manipulated by the news, email and text scams get these kids every time.
Right on time!!! Thank you
Nate, bravo for your well-crafted talk and your engaging presence. You were informative and funny, and well-researched. I've thought about media manipulation quite a bit, and you created a sound case for why I should keep doing that. Thanks, especially, for the tips at the end. You obviously already know that leaving an audience to ponder a question makes you memorable, and you are. Well done!
thank you! :)
Perhaps we should teach our young people about marketing concepts and how they work. The idea behind imagery and what it does to shape opinions. Sounds, smells, colors.....all are put to work. The descriptive words that reporters use are very good 'tells' about the real intent in influencing the listener or reader's opinion. Deep down we know certain words have a negative connotation, but when delivered in a sugared tone our radar doesn't seem to pick up on it. The BIGGEST problem are the tech giants and greedy corporations who put America last and their pocketbooks first.
GOOGLE? Really? People actually are looking for RELIABLE TRUSTWORTHY INFO from GOOGLE?!!! We are so OVER.
I searched for a video on this subject for 56 min now
3:25 Notice what he does here - "Any information or opinons you come across could plant the seed of an idea in your head without your realizing it."
He says this like having a new idea is an unwelcome thing, especially from an "Untrusted" source. Are we supposed to not talk to our neighbors or socialize? Are we supposed to watch only mainstream news? We are made to learn and grow and develop as people. If we don't we stagnate and get stuck, repeating the same mistakes over and over. Mistakes aren't useful unless we MAKE them useful by learning from them, taking an opportunity to learn independently.
I think you missed the point, what you describe is good. Not being conscious and aware of the little seeds can become bad
@@kristenpressner6795 Yeah, the seeds themselves can either be good or bad, but it is usually a good thing to be aware of them.
I already knew this, I can read between the lines. I don't accept narratives I just follow truth and logic.
I really enjoy this talk :)
thank you! :)
Most people I know get there information from instagram reels unfortunately. This video is a great resource.
Comedy is a big reason why what's serious is downplayed or over look. I know change is forever but we don't have to accept change if it's harmful and debilitating
Great talk. Journalistic integrity is absolutely endangered these days.
you're going to be a really good speaker someday.... well done and thank you
thank you, and like your name ;)
Well done Nate! Very entertaining... now I don't know if I can believe what you said. 😂
:)
Yes, I just watched the social dilemma. A good documentary
agree, it was great
it was the best documentary for me so far .
EMOTIONAL MANIPULATORS use ALL EMOTIONS.
I agree with him. But, it is totally possible to have a shark on the Katy Freeway after a hurricane. Houston is 80 miles from the coast with a rise in sea level of one foot per mile. Heavy flooding can bring in all sorts of sea life and swamp critters.
There's a network of people that work to program us all. Positive and negative reinforcements are used for everything.
This is pure genius. I had the pleasure of reading something similar, and it was sheer brilliance. "Game Theory and the Pursuit of Algorithmic Fairness" by Jack Frostwell
4 years later this truth should be apparent to all!
Excellent talk, particularly because I was looking for a way to explain journalism to a younger person. It made me even more acutely aware of the fact that it barely exists anymore. All I would add that I think is critical to remember is that news is a word. Some people use that word on their TV show as part of the title. There are no legal parameters for the word news. So declared a superior court in Florida when citing in favor of Fox News, being sued for lying.
No I believe this case did not involve either slander or libel, which would make it a different legal situation. They were being sued because they lied. they reported incorrect details often, they made stuff up, misquoted people, but not always using words, rather by presenting the wrong context, leaning it a direction, it was not intended to go. Their broadcast contained all of the genius of adolescent ridicule. Ad hominem attacks and red herrings are bantered about, on a regular basis. "News, the judge stated, is just a word in the name of their television show" I am inspired that a young person is making this presentation. This is a bright mind, and a wonderful addition to journalists,trying to explain the media, in relationship to journalism,.... The inevitable conclusion, from the perspective of the journalist is a limited choice, and academically, the best choice is propaganda. The laws of journalism, exist within the sanctity, inherent to the title, and profession itself .To be a Journalist, is to adhere to ethical guidelines , and standards of practice. Journalistic integrity, on which their profession relied, and the public relies, included presenting credible information ,gathered in a factual manner, preferably firsthand by the journalist. This profession is extremely relevant to the First Amendment. If we do not use it anymore, it will certainly go away. I applaud this young man 🙌🏼👋🏼🙌🏾👋🏽👋🏻🙌🏻🙌🏾👌🏻
Journalism is just sensationalism on the propaganda scale
Funny how you want to point out fox for lying when CNN lies everyday!!!
Yourube manipulates individuals too, I'm not surprise that this has only 120k views after 3 years. They're Ll in the business of canceling people who speak the truth.
There's is something most humans never develop in our life time; critical thinking.
My students and I loved this!
I get all my news information from memes
Great talk! Metaverse actually is just going to be Matrix 2.0! Let's hope for more people to wake up from Matrix 1.0!
I thought the intro was an ad
I believe the media is manipulative and this is my list of the reasons
1-In any Tv interviews the anchor is forcing the the guest to say something that's he don't wanna say at all by asking him side questions that any answers will lead him there.
2-shutting down the guest in interviews for making a certain point and doesn't let him finish a point he's making some times even the sound get cut.
3-the media claiming that they say the truth and nothing but the truth but how many times we caught them red handed lying to our faces.
4-the fact that everything that appears on tv gets prepared before it got broadcast by the News Crew and producers make me questions it! How iam going to trust those people that I don't know to tell me the truths about any topics they discussing. Their motives and agendas can't be truste because it's up to theme to decide what News to put out there on daily basis.
In brief media purpose has and been shifted of being the sound of the public to a tool to influence you to think or to act in a certain way.
The best sources to check for news would be the people that are actually there on the ground like they used to be. And the second page of Google is not the best place to check for your news.
Journalists aren't held to any type of journalistic standards these days. Not just comedians.
exactly, another reason we really have to think for ourselves. Times have changed
What do you do when you know they been manipulated but they don’t? That’s the thing I need hand out Manuel’s on
good video
1:46 uhm CNN’s placement is a little questionable
* Take a clip from a video than give it any title you want.
~ No one ever looks for the full video to see if you are lying.
This guy did a great service. Not enough people are talking about this. He only provided neutral information
From where we get exact information regarding this. R the channels mentioned in it reveal the actual information regarding manipulation mind.can we see manipuîtion in real life here. Where can we see this.
Good talk,.
thank you :)
Thank u....
this kid is awake! plant more mind like this one and we have a chance of a better futur.
thank you :)
Very good insight.. Today's youth has been prisoned through major SM platforms with yt leading 😊
very true💯
Solution? Think critically, independent, and for yourself.
"Safe and effective"
To get to know your enemies you have to play dump and vulnerable to get them😊
I feel like this is not news for anyone under 50. I also find comedians that state they are doing news (the now redacted Redacted Tonight) have higher standards for sources and find obscure important matters we never would have heard about. For example, my state OH just mandated fracking in state parks in a bill named: revise number of poultry chicks that may be sold in lots. No one would ever read that law expecting to find a new fracking law. It's so ridiculous you have to laugh. And don't forget Fox news has testified they aren't a news source.
Wow what a beautiful intro !!!
Excellent expose,Nate, but sadly the people who really need this info will never see this nor would they receive it.
Unless they're digging it because their teacher said so.
i am very very manipulated what i do please please please write i canot listen english
turn off news
or if you watch the news, EVERYTHING you hear, research it yourself.
but mainly, don't watch the news. they're trying to scare you.
funny how he's doing it rn
Said very well 👏
However... keep in mind that if a statement comes straight from someone’s mouth.. and you watch it live....and later, they deny it....it’s usually NOT fake news. 😉
That actually would depend on the entirety and circumstances of such statement. Anyone can edit a video leaving out crucial points that could make a specific statement seem to mean something other than what it was originally intended for. It would then still be considered fake news 😘
pdid2020 I could see this sometimes... however, cutting out things mid sentence, or switching up a live debate would be a whole lot trickier!! 😉 Seriously, the last live debate alone was enough for me to form a strong negative opinion . Even if everything else that came from his mouth was edited. His actions also speak louder than his words!! Cheating on all of his spouses, taxes, name calling, racism, hanging out with Epstein , replacing educated officials with his own children, dissing medical professionals, making friends with Putin, warning people of fake news before he was even elected ( something to hide??) His Tweets, Stormy Daniels , and his temper tantrums.... Etc. Etc. Etc. I seriously don’t know why people support this narcissistic, lying child. So.... there’s that. 😘
Never believe what you hear or read. Only half believe what you see. So goes the old saying. Take note, folks!😊
Ted. I need to know. How do someone if they being used.
Right!
What makes actual news unbiased and honestm
Information versus entertainment information and news are not the same thing and entertainment is irrelevant because most of what people consider news is simply opinion which is not the same as information
Sensationalism in journalism is not a new problem, it’s been around for a very long time. The problem is that now opinion shows are presented as news; take for example Hannity or Tucker Carlson.
@BillG Dontjabme what we need is actual, objective journalism, not option shows presented as such
Or anyone on CNN MSNBC or cbs
My guy really thought they weren't lying to our grandparents
If you want results. You wouldn’t be using google
👍 True
I felt like this tedtalk was trying to manipulate me...
Great talk 👌🏾
Thanks Daniel :)
Anything any source of information any media anything from the internet take that stuff with a grain of salt not even
Reserve everything u hear.
Im a gen z inspired and want to know a trustable news platform for information search ?
news now is free, and that's what its worth
exactly, we must be discerning
News is not free we just pay for it with our data rather than with money
Pretty sad when a video like this gets 90,000 views and a video I watched yesterday with an orangutan driving a golf cart gets millions of views.
Agree 😢
Amnot 🙂 all i believe is what can get done today thats useful...everything else is just extra entertainment to say 😮 too.
I haven’t consumed news since 2017 my life changed for the better. I advise anyone to do the same. Only consume information that is pertinent to you
the views and likes show how his topic gets shuttered
only an increasingly important topic
4:30 half get their news from TH-cam
the ending was triggering
I love you
I searched for astroturf and got this
Move AP & Reuters down to the bottom left of that chart and you might be onto something
2:40 🤦🏻♀️ anyone thinking that’s legit just 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Oh, yeah . . . and the speaker isn't being "manipulated", is he?
