"The media" being the music in this video? Dont trust that.

Everyone in "the media" is working to keep their jobs. "The media" can only be owned by rich bigots pushing their own agenda or stock owners who care only about profit, right?

Listening to each other (i.e. less rich bigots who do not own "the media" but also have their own agendas) is the solution?

Education? Original souces of information? Critical comparison of sources? Experiment? Research?

How about listening to both sides (or several for that matter) and try to make sense of it all? Read the data and reach for your own opinion. Is that too hard? Is that not more worthwhile than always vote for one party or believe in "your" side?

Each main stream should only get noon and evening news for total of 2 hours. No more opinion/ spin crap 22 hrs / day.

Would like a total ban for 2 years.

Media is the problem.

No more opinion/spin means no more right wing media at all. Fox, OAN, and newsmax are nearly pure opinion outlets and could never exist without their opinion programming advertising dollars.
Edit: Alex Jones, gone. Glen Beck, gone. Right wing talk radio, gone.
Are you prepared for that just to get cnn down to 2 hours of original pure news programming per day? I am. 100%.

Every time this guy lays down an assertion, he's presenting questionable supposition as fact. He's building all of his points from a shaky foundation of paranoia presented as reality.

There are definitely problems with the way that 24 hour news media is formatted and it is causing social issues. But the problem is a lot more complex than "a conspiracy of rich people controlling you". Any solution is going to require real objective, unbiased and clear-eyed analysis of how the news business works today. This video isn't that.
