wth

2018-04-02 19:11:11 UTC  

This needs to be seen.

2018-04-02 20:27:40 UTC  

why?

2018-04-02 20:48:57 UTC  

cuz it shows the mainstream media being just one mouthpiece for whoever is paying them

2018-04-02 20:49:05 UTC  

'n shizzle

2018-04-02 20:56:44 UTC  

well... its a general statement that is intended to fit for all stations... and it is completely neutral on politics...

2018-04-02 20:59:45 UTC  

all those stations are owned by the same company too, so they were just all given that script

2018-04-02 21:00:24 UTC  

im just elaborating on why he linked it, i'm not like "pff, liek u didn't know that? pff l2 facts k?"

2018-04-02 21:04:18 UTC  

yeah... i know the context... i just don't see any relevance... its basic self promotion, i don't expect a company to write hundreds of scripts that is tailored to each station... now if the message was inherently political i might see it differently... but it really is not.

2018-04-02 21:05:43 UTC  

well it does hint at the fact that the amount of real reporters out there is considerably less, due to these all pretty much broadcasting most likely from the same source

2018-04-02 21:07:30 UTC  

well... its local news... do you expect a newspaper to be completely different in every area for which it has local news or just that the local news part is different?

2018-04-02 21:09:52 UTC  

i was under the impression that local news would still be running news on their own'

2018-04-02 21:10:50 UTC  

news sure... that is not news but self promotion

2018-04-02 21:11:08 UTC  

You don't think there's something wrong with all of these news stations being handed scripts from on high?

2018-04-02 21:11:21 UTC  

for self promotion? nope.

2018-04-02 21:11:24 UTC  

That maybe something can possibly go awry with such a system?

2018-04-02 21:11:39 UTC  

It's not promotion. What are they promoting? What are they selling?

2018-04-02 21:12:20 UTC  

the name "self promotion" should give you a hint on what they are promoting 😉

2018-04-02 21:13:01 UTC  

what exactly are they promoting there though?

All i'm getting from them in those clips is the "listen to us, not fake news" lipservice

2018-04-02 21:13:02 UTC  

That doesn't answer the general question of if whether or not you don't see anything wrong with this.

2018-04-02 21:13:09 UTC  

its the same thing as cnn saying that they sell apples 😉

2018-04-02 21:13:43 UTC  

Deflection with an attempt of humor is not an answer.

2018-04-02 21:13:52 UTC  

In fact it's pretty indicative that you don't have one.

2018-04-02 21:13:55 UTC  

it IS the same thing

2018-04-02 21:14:33 UTC  

the ONLY difference is that they used the local staff instead of making a general spot

2018-04-02 21:14:51 UTC  

i'd say they're using local staff TO make a general spot

2018-04-02 21:14:57 UTC  

(which in this case is just the easier route to go)

2018-04-02 21:15:09 UTC  

sure

2018-04-02 21:16:06 UTC  

again... if they would be pushing some sort of political narrative i would object to it... but that is really just self promotion...

2018-04-02 21:16:20 UTC  

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

2018-04-02 21:16:30 UTC  

....you don't think the news media pushes an agenda?

2018-04-02 21:16:38 UTC  

sounds political to me tbh

2018-04-02 21:16:49 UTC  

Of course they do.

2018-04-02 21:17:32 UTC  

i don't think that promo is any different that what the rest of the news media does

2018-04-02 21:17:33 UTC  

Because everyone has an agenda: you, me, Jayred, CNN, Tim, Sargon, the alt right, islamist terrorists, etc.

2018-04-02 21:17:52 UTC  

i stopped using an agenda in the 2nd grade!

2018-04-02 21:18:01 UTC  

😛

2018-04-02 21:18:07 UTC  

lol

2018-04-02 21:18:21 UTC  

i don't have an agenda, which is probably why i keep forgeting to buy milk 😄
