    Humility is a quality that rarely seems highly prized in this "assertive" world. It was good to hear it's benefits being extolled by someone who appreciates first hand the very real fragility and limitations of humans. From the interview, Clarissa comes over as genuine, honest and worth listening too. In fact a classical journalist rather than a lobbiest. Sadly not something for which CNN has been noteworthy in recent years, in my 'humble' opinion.

    Dumbest response in the history of YT. Fox "news" is what you meant to write. Fox is banned in the country of this taping (England) because of its lying on air. If you would care to research fox "news" is is also banned by law in Canada for lying but you can find it on cable entertainment section. This is why Canadians and the UK are so better informed than usa because fox is allowed to do what it does. Athough fox news is being sued for $2 billion for lying about the voter machines in the 2020 election it is a civil case and nobody will go to jail. Note, you no longer see election deniers on fox news in 2022 because of this lawsuit. Ask yourself this Winston, did you ever in 4 years that traitor trump was president EVER see a bad news piece on trump airong on fox? That's called state tv. Also, the reason the 8th grade dropouts stormed our capital and the worst day in American history by far. On 9-11 2800 died and on 1-6-21 an idea died....democracy.

    EXPANDING UNIVERSE.MENTIONED IN HOLY QUR'AN 1500 YEARS AGO ALMIGHTY ALLAH THE ORIGINATOR TO THE UNIVERSE AND CREATOR OF THE MANKIND Who can claim 1350 years ago that the universe is expending? والسماء بنينها بايد و انا لموسعون o " And the heaven We built it with power, and indeed, We are the expander " (And We it is Who make the vast extent, thereof ) (Qur'an, 51:47) Until 1931, physicist Albert Einstein believed that the universe was static. An urban legend attributes this change of perspective to when American astronomer Edwin Hubble showed Einstein his observations of redshift in the light emitted by far away nebulae - today known as galaxies. After Hubble discovered that the universe was expanding, Einstein called the cosmological constant his "greatest blunder." At around the same time, larger telescopes were being built that were able to accurately measure the spectra, or the intensity of light as a function of wavelength, of faint objects. Almighty Allah is the Creator of the whole universe.He says: Should He not know what He created? And He is the Subtile, the Aware. The knowledge of scientists is very limited and insufficient to understand the universe! ! Recently NASA launched JWST. This telescope will see the beginning of the universe and how it evolved. Today the scientists accepted that they know very little about the universe. DR.MOHAMMAD LAEEQUE NADVI Ph.D. (Arabic Lit.) M.A. Arabic Lit.

    @@abderrahmanlamrani5310 I wholeheartedly agree, although I’d go further back in the distrust of media really starting closer to Vietnam where the networks were used almost blatantly as propaganda networks, from there each invasion or unjust war further solidified control, Reagan repealed the fairness doctrine, and here we sit today where journalism as a concept is dead. Mearsheimer is very wise on this matter, my greatest anchors to sanity these days are people like John, and we have some networks who still act in the manner which you reference, TeleSUR is doing great work, some independent voices who are constantly under attack and censorship. It’s frightening how close we are to a total closed off state of censorship in the west and the vast majority of the populous don’t even realize it. The media has fully grown into its role as stenographers of the elite, and coupled with very well thought out tactics of propaganda, they are slowly brainwashing the people and walking them into wars and genocide. I hope Justice comes to all those responsible for irak and all the other innocent civilians of this world caught in the sights of the ruling class.
