      Anti-lockdown and pro-gun protests are bad and the police must arrest the protestors despite them having a right to peacibly assemble and despite wrestling and carrying a protestor off being the exact opposite of "social dustancing".
      Burn loot murder is fine though.

      I'll gladly give you that BLM protests are "mostly peaceful", but they just so happen to be the only protests that become riots. I've yet to see a single example of gun-rights activists commit ANY sort of violence during their protests. In Pennsylvania they even openly carried their guns to show that their guns can be out in the open and cause no violence despite what leftists claim guns do.

      I imagine most of the economical shortcomings you (and I, myself,) am angered by in our times are the result of corporatism, that parasitical tumor upon the free market. The corporation does not exist without the state, and I think we'd both agree they suck in their entirety. Ironically, I'm sure, those who fund Stossel own a few themselves, which a libertarian would oppose, but again, it's a matter of which fish to fry first. I've been following him for a year or so and so far he hasn't seemed to suffered a compromising conflict of interest between his funding and his coverage.

The fact checkers said “well ACKSHUALLY she was arrested for criminal trespassing”.

The law doesn't force you to wear a mask, but it also doesn't protect you if you refuse to leave someone's property

    A bomb exploded in Times Square.
    Media: The city has fierce fires but mostly peaceful.

    • @AnonYMouse-ky4sg
      @AnonYMouse-ky4sg 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      TheVideomaker2341 This isn’t an accurate analogy. First of all, let’s agree that when it comes to the total city area, of New York, it’d be 100% accurate to say the city is mostly peaceful if only one bomb exploded in Times Square. So if it’s a truthful statement, why would it not be appropriate to say that? Because the rest of the city was never in question if you’re talking about Times Square, so it makes it sound as if you’re downplaying the seriousness of the issue. (Your analogy is actually exactly analogous to saying White Lives Matter or All Lives Matter in response to Black Lives Matter. The fact of the statement is not in question, but you sound like you’re downplaying the actual subject being discussed.)
      Compare and contrast to a scenario where someone is asking whether or not there have been more bombs set off in the city. Now it would be appropriate to say, “No, there hasn’t been more bombs, the city is mostly peaceful aside from this incident.”
      So why is it appropriate for journalists to state the fact that the protests are mostly peaceful? That’s right, it’s because it is in question whether or not they are peaceful or if most of the protestors are there to incite violence or not.
      There is a running narrative you will see even in this comment section that most of the protesters are violent, when the facts on the ground are that they are mostly peaceful with a few hooligans *on both sides* hijacking and taking advantage of the opportunity to stoke division and hatred.
      Most people don’t have a nuanced understanding of politics because they only listen to one news source and can’t look at things objectively or from more than one side. It’s important to find that nuance when it comes to controversial subjects like this. Controversy doesn’t happen spontaneously, it’s because two side have a different understanding of the facts, and it’s important to understand where all sides are coming from.

      @ronrothrock7116 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Honestly, I believe the media swing left because left=change. Conservative, by definition, means status quo. The left is the opposite to that, and that means change. They feel it is improvements, but that is simply a matter of opinion. The point is, though, that status quo is not news worthy. Change is something to talk about. Therefore media is, by default, going to be left leaning, because they report on things that are out of the normal/constant. The real issue is that the media today is MAKING the news. By saying they are unbiased, but actually not reporting in an unbiased way, they sway public opinion to support the minority viewpoint. This then turns a small, local and rare event into looking like something 50% of the people support. That then gets more people to believe in that minor viewpoint and thereby making it into an issue that comes up more and more. It gives them more to report on. They create more of the news they report on. The media is the real problem, not because they lean left, but because they aren't told what they are doing is wrong.

    He was viciously, maliciously, horribly, shot 7 times in the back while peacefully resisting arrest while going for a weapon to kill the officers.

    Cable news and shorter and shorter news cycles turned journalism into entertainment. It's no longer journalism.

    John, I have long respected your journalistic rigor and integrity. This piece reaffirms your commitment to true, investigative reporting. Keep up the good fight, brother.

      That's dark, but hilarious 😆 Jokes aside though, if you are legitimately sick, I wish you a speedy recovery 🙂

      Not sick guys...thanks for the concern and if I offended anyone I'm sorry...watched my very strong Dad wither away from lung cancer so it wasn't meant to be insensitive.

    Everyone sees the bias. The sycophants just cheer them on.

    A friend of mine used to watch CNN. He told me that he had to stop watching CNN because Trump was all they talked about. I haven't watched CNN in 20 years so I have no idea what goes on there.

    Thanks, Mr. Stossel. I started watching you when you were on ABC 20/20, so glad to see your channel on TH-cam. I've to being looking for 1000 thumbs up button so I can click because you deserve more than just one thumbs up 😂. You have given me hope that there still good journalists out there. Keep up the good work.

    It's so funny that they clearly wanted to use a "mostly peaceful" narrative but couldn't stop themselves from filming the chaos.

    It's funny are media tells everyone the world thinks trump is a joke, but if you watch the news broadcast from other countries the paint a very different picture. It's hard to find any of them putting him down.
