I want to upvote the idea that one should be quite suspicious of 'news' and understand that a combination of single, third-party source laziness and overt bias makes most reporting biased if not pure fiction,
but,
I can't upvote the 'everybody is lying to you, except me. Only trust me and no one else' self serving bullshit. Dore is not above using bad/unreliable/unverifiable sources or biased reporting himself, and by claiming he is the only one offering the truth, even in jest, he's putting himself in a group of self aggrandizing narcissists like Trump, Alex Jones, and Glen Beck.
enoch@newtboy
that's what you took away from this?
jimmy dore is akin to glenn beck and alex jones?
ok,not gonna judge.
i thought the real take away,in my opinion,was a journalist was taken to task for being lazy and uncritically accepting the current corporate media narrative,and gets a thrashing from an independent journalist from canada.a polite and soft spoken thrashing,but a thrashing just the same.
eve bartlett has been doing some amazing work in regards to syria,and exposing the lies and manipulations of corporate media.
jimmy dore is a comedian,i am just a loser nobody who comments on the internet,but we all come to our own conclusions.
and i no longer give corporate media any authority,because of their utter and complete failure to inform.
i question any and everything that they attempt to spin as "truth".
eric3579Dore bit is @13:20 and more interesting info if you watch the entire video (Dore i find insanely annoying)
newtboyNo sir. Not yet at least. That's nothing (edit:noting, stupid spell check) that his saying he's the sole source for truth is akin to their MO, and he should not repeat it, even jokingly, imo.
You seem to have missed the first half of the post, where I mentioned I wanted to Upvote for the reasons you mention.
Jimmy is moving from comedy to news commentary online, it seems. News commentary is what Beck and Jones do, btw....just saying. ;-)
I do agree, corporate media, which all buys their news from the same few biased outlets, are little more than propaganda sources and pablum these days. One more reason to be sad/outraged about pbs losing it's meager public funding.

siftbotMoving this video to enoch's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.
