These editorials from TYT...Still reek of the worst form of journalistic tripe. C & A use the same basic formula that keeps Murdoch's crap-riddled "media" empire afloat;
Sensationalism, inane editorial on current events, and smug gibbering about celebrities and volatile subject matter. That they are so popular here on Videosift is not surprising-Neither is Rupert's net worth considering the herd-mentality that keeps it afloat.

Question: If we are supposed to "sift" through the video offerings on the internet and embed the best here, why are ALL of the segments ever cranked-out by these wanna-be hacks embedded on this site??

Answer: "MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

>> ^Jinx:

was watching this with close captions on for some reason, and man do they murder everything Cenk says.
At about 1:50 it comes up with "was a little swallowing dat homes" and it made me spit drink on my keyboard. Just had to share.
edit: "sprinkled bus stop" Oh man, I gotta watch more youtube videos with this on.


Oh my god yeah, especially TYT, I can't even remember what vid it was now, but I posted one from TYT for the very purpose of watching with cc, hilarious!

Thanks!

I would argue that the US is still the best country in the world as far as Freedom of Speech is concerned. It was a really hard and constant battle, it wasn't given to us and we earned it. There's tons of European countries where you'll get arrested for denying the Holocaust...just stupid to give the state that power.

Your ENTIRE media is controlled by, at most, 3 men. Those 3 men tell 300 million people what reality is. Dissenting views are scorned, misrepresented, or ignored.
What good is free speech when then only way to talk to more than a few people at a time requires, literally, millions of dollars?
YAY! Your government cannot pass any law that hinders your opinions in any way. If you can't exercise that right because someone else yells louder than you can, is it even important to have?
The US government doesn't need to silence the masses. Rupert Murdoch et al do it for them.


You're bringing up a separate issue though. I was making the point that yes our government cannot hinder our opinions and that is more alive than ever. I used an example talking about what that means in relation to unpopular views. It simply staggers me that someone can be put in jail for their opinion in other countries because I am the beneficiary of a lot of hard work to earn our free speech.

Wasn't it just last month that a guy was jailed in England for making a racist tweet about Fabrice Muamba (the black footballer who collapse of a heart attack)? He said something racist and that's unpopular so he was put in jail. That's amazing to me, how could the government be given that power to decide what is out of line? What if they decide criticizing the government is out of line? That's a big deal, and it was an important battle over decades.

Now your separate issue you bring up is a very important one. It's sort of like giving someone freedom without giving them any ability. "Yes you are free to go make a million dollars...goodluck." You're correct in that it doesn't really work and that it's not fair. Our media system is awful and most americans know that, that doesn't prevent us from going around them much of the time through other mediums though. Your point is made but it maybe should be directed at someone who was arguing that we're perfect, rather than that we have freedom. I would love to discuss this with you though because I think you paint a bit of a bleak view...you just have to POST A VIDEO!

Bit of a long response, but I REALLY have something to say here. Two performing artists from the 1980's stuck out in my mind because I always figured that the 2nd song they released was W-A-Y better than their first. This song was indeed JHJ's first single, but the next song they released struck a chord with me because it had a humanitarian feel to it....the cynic in me says it didn't do too well 'cos the PC brigade didn't want a clean-cut band singing a song that tipped a hat to prostitutes .... but, ho hum.

"Pure Heart Of Gold" - (Johnny Hates Jazz)


Artist number two was a guy called Rupert Holmes, he was most famously known for the "Pina Colada" song, but his 2nd release (which was ALSO a song about cheating within a relationship) just seemed to get to the heart of the matter that bit more & was a better song in my book.

"Him" - (Rupert Holmes)

It's a little slow, but stay with it for an interesting first hand account of a visit to an oil refinery in India, and observations of the managers and workers there. Lee also visited a nearby the pier where massive container ships dock with a manager named Jitesh.




"A few moments pass as we all stood, just watching.

Out of the silence, Jitesh says to me “Do you see what we are doing here Mr. Lee?”

I asked “What’s that, Jitesh?”

He replied, with an unexpected, sobering tone: “We are destroying future generations for now, and forever.”

I laughed like Ricky did


I know! When I watched it on TV in full context, I was howling with laughter. I think it's my favourite bit of this series.

Her Aunt Anna was married to Rupert Murdoch for 31 years. Another fyi, 'Murdoch' with a capital M doesn't set off my spell checker... creepy fucker.

By the way, this particular diatribe was part of the Trilogues between Terence, Rupert Sheldrake on the far right, and (as it is my esteemed honor to share frequently with strangers) my good friend, Ralph Abraham in the middle.

Dude, you quoted two Rupert Murdoch "news" organizations. Seriously, wtfbbq... Real nice diverse facts there to back you up. LOL...

>> ^Winstonfield_Pennypacker:

The only thing you proved is there are idiots in every crowd.
This is certainly true. I in no way mean to imply that the offenses were representative of "all OWS participants". Obviously not all OWS people are doing these kinds of things. But there is enough of it going on though that it is becoming a serious issue with how the public views OWS as a whole.

Manhattan residents are sick of them.

I don't think this is faked. I think this is a legitimate argument against for-profit interests moving in on public education. (As wonky as it may be.)

Mr Murdoch appeared as part of a two-day education forum sponsored by the Foundation for Excellence in Education, a group chaired by former Florida Governor Jeb Bush. It champions school vouchers, charter schools, performance pay for teachers and digital learning.
‘We need to tear down an education system designed for the 19th century and replace it with one suited for the 21st,’ Mr Murdoch said during his morning address.

Does he mean to design a system for the wealthy to profit from?


The style of the protest was no doubt inspired by the satirical website, http://occupysesamestreet.org/

McFarlane "How do you find out these things?"

Morgan visibly thinking, "Don't say because you remember all your phone-tapping skills from when you were an editor for Rupert Murdoch!"
