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 😄

2018-04-02 21:18:38 UTC  

thats my joke! i'm going to make an agenda to ruin you!

2018-04-02 21:18:55 UTC  

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.

2018-04-02 21:19:13 UTC  

that is waht they're doing

2018-04-02 21:19:26 UTC  

i guess in a way it IS self promotion, because they're saying "use us for oyur news instead of "the others""

2018-04-02 21:19:51 UTC  

it is a promotional text that is general enough to work for all stations with little to no changes

2018-04-02 21:20:49 UTC  

they are saying "we are unbiased news and don't report fake news" - exactly what cnn is saying.

2018-04-02 21:21:04 UTC  

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.

2018-04-02 21:22:11 UTC  

And there is no disclosure about any of this either.

2018-04-02 21:22:32 UTC  

They are respresenting the information as if they are the originators of it.

2018-04-02 21:22:36 UTC  

what political message would that be?

2018-04-02 21:22:52 UTC  

don't listen to other media, only us because they push an agenda, we don't

2018-04-02 21:22:57 UTC  

^

2018-04-02 21:23:13 UTC  

Which is ironically pushing an agenda.

2018-04-02 21:23:25 UTC  

that is not an political message... that is essentially what every single news outlet says

2018-04-02 21:23:46 UTC  

that is the exact message of the cnn apple spot

2018-04-02 21:24:38 UTC  

the democracy bit is very ironic but other than that...

2018-04-02 21:25:46 UTC  

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?

2018-04-02 21:26:18 UTC  

This doesn't creep you out in the slightest?

2018-04-02 21:26:20 UTC  

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"

2018-04-02 21:26:48 UTC  

again... not political, just promotion

2018-04-02 21:27:03 UTC  

okay, what would you define as political?

2018-04-02 21:27:15 UTC  

But news agencies have taken political stances before, and tried to send political messages before.

2018-04-02 21:27:44 UTC  

This exact message and this exact video, maybe not, but it's still indictative of the structure that's in place.

2018-04-02 21:27:54 UTC  

political would be "gun control is bad" for example

2018-04-02 21:28:02 UTC  

not "we are trustworthy"
