I moved to the US in 1997 and the first thing which surprised me was discovery that there are no news here..only entertainment..

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!

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.

@@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.

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.

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

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.

EMOTIONAL MANIPULATORS use ALL EMOTIONS.

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 🙌🏼👋🏼🙌🏾👋🏽👋🏻🙌🏻🙌🏾👌🏻

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.

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.

It's good that this kid is talking in front of people, but he hardly seems old enough to be doing much other than just repeating what he's heard from his parents, or teachers. Better than nothing, but for stuff like this, we really need to hear from older people; not because they are smarter, but because they have deeper experience over time, and have had time to hear and see more, and have experienced the changes more than others. For example, it could be argued that the real problem is the consolidation of points of view to the corporation and elites. 6 huge corporations own all the media now, and it is not that they just own the media, but they make it so that it is impossible for other voices to be able to afford to speak, or be heard. Back 40 years ago in the 1980's and before there were amazing political shows, talk shows, news shows, self-help shows, etc. That is all gone, and what there is that pretends to be that is just a vague echo of the reality gone before.
