This is the way it used to be..."reporters" used to go in boots on the ground. I went into Journalism school in 85 and it had already changed as the 'if it bleeds it leads' and they had gotten rid of the fact checkers. I left the industry. Now it's even worse...propaganda and circuses. These young leading edge journalists are our only hope. Thanks for keeping us old timers informed.I haven't watched msm for 20 years and have been a YT and podcast listener for 15. For 5 in there I just didn't follow anything and I opened a restaurant. Best years of my life.

[@man0warable]

@@Chaelsonen "capturing a moment in time" is exactly what journalism used to be and should be. If you don't find any of it informative, then that says quite a lot about the kind of person you are. 'lmao look at the funny and dumb people' is exactly the mentality that prevents you from learning anything from his videos. You are just looking when you should be listening. Actually listen to what those people are saying. Only then will you learn anything about the situations he is filming. It's exactly like Andrew talked about in this video. Listening to other people's perspectives allows you to better understand things.

[@cdub2393]

What happened to Andrew with “All Gas No Brakes” is almost exactly the same problems that most newly signed bands eventually run into with their first record label. The only thing that’s changed is content creators are the new “undiscovered talent” to sign, instead of bands/artists.

Exactly. My brother signed a $50k deal for 3 albums. Ended up defaulting and had to pay $15k for a lawyer to get him out of the deal.

I really liked the video. It's a bit disingenuous to say he's the "only honest person" that media has left, because there are quite a few people out there doing the same exact stuff he does but with less fanfare. Him getting shafted by the meme company made him extremely sympathetic and renowned. But in general I think all of the points made were fair or dead-on.

[@keithremedy]

I’d agree with that. He’s definitely not the only one that’s been doing this or the first but it is a fact that theees very few people that are fairly un opinionated that interview people.

Agreed on the “Theroux” comparison. (Ik it’s a bad pun but I had too) However, I don’t think he’s actually that timid. The places he goes and people he interacts with would make most people uncomfortable at the least and scared to death at worst. The most important thing though is that he seems to be timid bc of the way he talks and how he lets the subject talk about 90% the time. It’s very intentional and refreshing in my opinion.

[@kamalindsey]

@@genericsocks7542 Louis is quite approachable. He gives off a very calm aura that makes people either underestimate him and reveal too much, or make them want to reveal things to him. He doesn't really confront them as much as just question their views in what seems to be a mixture of both curiosity and confusion, give or take depending on the person he talks to.

Wankfest. I'm not going to say all of Callaghan's content is heavily manipulated, but turning on a camera and following anything for hours will have to eventually be cut down and edited. What you edit and put on camera still forms a narrative that you want. This can be used positively to show events and amplify voices or negatively to show some absurd statements that someone makes over the course of an entire day. Best proof of this is at the end of his Ukraine video where he gets maybe four people to say ignorant things about the war. Callaghan is trying to get you to associate that all Republicans believe everything those few people who know nothing rather than just a bad minority. This alongside the footage also implants the idea that any disagreement with anything but unilateral support in the form of billions in aid and possibly military commitment for Ukraine means you want the devastation to happen. This is a narrative. You didn't see him juxtapose anything the rioters he followed around during the 2020 summer riots with business owners who lost everything afterwards. Why? Because he agrees with the rioters and didn't care about the damage they caused, and he wants you to agree with that. Then there's the fact that people will act different in front of a camera than they will on their own, that the US is a country of nearly 330 million people and if you look hard enough you'll be able to find people to do just about anything, and the possibility that Callaghan, possibly boosted now that he has a reputation, can be talking to people beforehand or giving them suggestions that just isn't put on film.

@@OnAMoonlitPath Calling it dishonest would be implying that there is no gray area between honest and dishonest 'reporting'. The producers of the content choose what is shown and what is omitted, they editorialise the content to fit their narrative and to project their world view. If you look at the video they did at the BLM riot the subject matter was treated very sympathetically, there wasn't any snappy, brief editing to make the participants seem hypocritical and they appeared to chose to show people that came accross well, using long unedited cuts of their comments. If you contrast that with groups of people they are ideologically opposed to, like for instance the proud boys, the difference is stark. It's beyond stupid to think that people who are good at their craft would somehow repeatedly and accidentally make mistakes that benefit them, or support their world view, their politics or their beliefs.

Juxtapose this with the video he did on the Chauvin trial, where he interviewed a guy who had just gotten done torching a building, and his yelling is accompanied by uplifting music to portray him as an impassioned guy fighting for justice, rather than trying to paint him as an unhinged, dangerous arsonist, which could easily be done with proper editing as well.

The come across like sympathetic people deluded into following a belief despite all means. Rather than painting them as villians it just looks sad. Because it is. No editing is gonna make them look like the blm guy because the things they believe are outlandish. It doesn't matter where you lean politically. Half the time there's nothing even accompanying the interview footage. To just say it's biased because editing is reductive. Everything carries some bias, but his work is by far some of the most unbiased coverage out there. It's literally just the words of people attending. If the people attending come across as problematic to you that's by all means more on them and you than any trick of editing.

Why do you need to talk to people from other countries to figure out how healthcare works? I think there's probably more reliable sources out there than random people xD Americans' misconception about healthcare in other countries is truly baffling

[@songbirdsandsandwiches8217]

He’s funny but no, he cuts things up in a way to make certain things people sound dumber or to tell a joke for the sake of comedy above being truthfully what they are saying and he also has this particular opinion he holds that he always allows bias him, he usually plays that in full toward the end of the video with some uplifting/sad music. I love watching his videos but god damn is it nowhere near quality journalism.

Yes it did, no evidence no case. This is the case for every other crime and it’s the case here.

[@TheArrivalCyberse]

@@Bhjdk Sometimes there is a thing called probable cause, meaning you can be arrested if enough evidence, even if not physical points towards you. In this case multiple allegations from several different victims spanning several years apart has surfaced, which could be sufficient to detain him and give cause to search his belongings for further proof. It would most likely first only start as a small investigation into Andrew though.

[@_aPaladin]

about your point at 9:40 neither people have a reason to lie, and neither people have a reason to tell the truth. Let's be real it is the internet. Anecdotes aren't facts sadly. Instead of asking the person who broke their arm, go ask a person who needs heart transplant? Instead of asking if gays people are thrown off buildings, oh wait you can't ask them they got thrown off buildings... yea you make some good points but you clearly missed it with this one. Rarely you will find a Muslim that blast muslim conduct, just like if you ask a muslim if they will disavow Isis, they will never tell you, they might secretly whisper to you that they support Honor killings, oh wait never mind on youtube you have Muslims who shout it out loud that they support honor killings...

Sorry, but conservative independent media has been doing this for decades. Starting with talk radio titans like Rush Limbaugh all the way to KZbin creators like Steven Crowder, Ben Shapiro, Alex Jones, to folks in between like Tim Pool or Dave Rubin (the far more successful ex-Young Turk) Andrew is unique in his style. Seems like a cool dude.

CNN started 24 hr news in 1980. It was pretty much the only place to get news 24 hours a day for many years after. For most, the nightly news on their local channel was enough, or maybe you'd watch something on PBS if you needed more in depth news. It wasn't until 9/11 that everybody started their own 24 hr news network.

[@Dino23124]

Ok andrew is great and all but you claim that he doesn’t “say” anything. Yea he doesn’t have to. People will say so many things and the thing is andrew still edits his videos and a person editing is going to have inherent bias. Large news shows have people with bias and film and edit towards their bias. Andrew edits towards his bias. It’s not all just “candid” unless he uploads his entire filming. Can we just have AI take over for news?? Please!

Better example of media propaganda is CNN guy saying BLM protesting is mostly peaceful as the freaking building behind him is ablaze with fire 😂😂😂😂

“We tried not stealing” LoL Floyd Riots we’re a joke. Dude was a drug addict who was fighting getting in the car. Cop didn’t murder him on purpose. Floyd was saying he couldn’t breathe BEFORE they tried putting him in the car. And kept saying it. That’s why they didn’t listen when he was on the ground. They assumed he was still just trying to get out of cuffs. Sucks he died but there was no malicious intent. It was a mistake. Giving that cop murder charges was a joke. Now no one wants to be a cop. Low pay, the world will turn on you and give you charges for doing your job because they’re afraid of more black riots. This wasn’t Rodney King. This was a mistake that created a LOT of black on white hate and crime. Millennials need to wise up.

YES. Letting people form their OWN opinion after a story is true journalism. No narrative....just let people see what's going on and what real people say. No polish, nothing. Just tell the story and let me decide.

[@originalalienone]

@Dan Trebune True, but I'd rather live in a world where I can check several channels out who are recording many different people with many different viewpoints than the world I'm currently in where there's one reigning viewpoint espoused by 99% of all news stations, and the only difference between them is which anchor you like looking at the most or the format of the show.

[@OilFreeFeathers]

Channel 5 uses video edits to frame their own narrative. Anyone who thinks Andrew is unbiased is fooling themselves. If you look up "andrew callaghan interview" he only goes on shows hosted by far left grifters. He's no saint.

[@johnroush1099]

I agree, but this can also be done in a way to craft a narrative. Showing one perspective more than another, or showing more eccentric people of one belief, but more rational people for the opposing belief. These are things we still need to keep in mind.

@Dan Trebune It was for my mother. She’s a cancer patient and was suddenly having severe stomach pain accompanied by massive and frequent panic attacks just after a major surgery. The week before she was in the hospital due to an infection from that same surgery. We went there at 6:30 at night with card that her oncologist gave to her that was supposed to let the emergency room know that she was an important patient and we sat in the waiting room until just before midnight. She still felt horrible when we left and no one would give us a solid answer as to when she would be seen. They only took blood and an ekg or whatever. We had to schedule an emergency meeting with her actual doctors a full day later and she felt terrible the whole time. We weren’t the only ones there waiting for hours or the only ones that left either. An old woman came in with a bleeding head injury about an hour after we got there and sat next to us. She was still sitting there when we left.
