well... its a general statement that is intended to fit for all stations... and it is completely neutral on politics...
all those stations are owned by the same company too, so they were just all given that script
im just elaborating on why he linked it, i'm not like "pff, liek u didn't know that? pff l2 facts k?"
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.
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
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?
i was under the impression that local news would still be running news on their own'
news sure... that is not news but self promotion
You don't think there's something wrong with all of these news stations being handed scripts from on high?
for self promotion? nope.
That maybe something can possibly go awry with such a system?
It's not promotion. What are they promoting? What are they selling?
the name "self promotion" should give you a hint on what they are promoting 😉
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
That doesn't answer the general question of if whether or not you don't see anything wrong with this.
its the same thing as cnn saying that they sell apples 😉
Deflection with an attempt of humor is not an answer.
In fact it's pretty indicative that you don't have one.
it IS the same thing
i'd say they're using local staff TO make a general spot
(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.
