(which in this case is just the easier route to go)
sure
again... if they would be pushing some sort of political narrative i would object to it... but that is really just self promotion...
but they're just preaching that CNN propaganda bull of "Theres people pushing agendas with their news, which is dangerous to our values, so listen to us instead"
they're preaching an agenda, about people pushing an agenda
....you don't think the news media pushes an agenda?
sounds political to me tbh
Of course they do.
i don't think that promo is any different that what the rest of the news media does
Because everyone has an agenda: you, me, Jayred, CNN, Tim, Sargon, the alt right, islamist terrorists, etc.
i stopped using an agenda in the 2nd grade!
😛
lol
i don't have an agenda, which is probably why i keep forgeting to buy milk 😄
thats my joke! i'm going to make an agenda to ruin you!
How is it self promotion, though? It seems they're all being told to deliver the same message about what to think to the general public, to me.
that is waht they're doing
i guess in a way it IS self promotion, because they're saying "use us for oyur news instead of "the others""
it is a promotional text that is general enough to work for all stations with little to no changes
they are saying "we are unbiased news and don't report fake news" - exactly what cnn is saying.
This isn't some generalized ,"btw please subscribe" request or anything like that. This is a specific political message with a specific intent being passed down to all of these news agencies.
They are respresenting the information as if they are the originators of it.
what political message would that be?
don't listen to other media, only us because they push an agenda, we don't
^
Which is ironically pushing an agenda.
that is not an political message... that is essentially what every single news outlet says
that is the exact message of the cnn apple spot
the democracy bit is very ironic but other than that...
So you don't see the potential abuse of power here? And let's be frank: a power which has been and will continue to be used?
This doesn't creep you out in the slightest?
unless you believe they are all unbiased, the political message is clear "only listen to us so you don't get other sides of an argument"
again... not political, just promotion
okay, what would you define as political?
But news agencies have taken political stances before, and tried to send political messages before.
This exact message and this exact video, maybe not, but it's still indictative of the structure that's in place.
political would be "gun control is bad" for example
not "we are trustworthy"
I would say it is given the 'fake news is bad' message, especially when you take into account that by 'fake news' they typically mean alternative media.
and yes the structure in place could be abused... but not really that much more than any nationwide channel
so, if Hillary Clinton would say "Don't listen to other candidates, listen to me, i'm trustworthy",
that would constitute non-political to you?
