Asmongold Reacts to "Why he's the only honest man left in News."

[@lolasdogrescue]

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.

[@genericsocks7542]

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.

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.

I feel like you should reevaluate your feelings about hasan rather than saying andrew is crazy, someone by all accounts untouched by all of the bs of trad media or corporate control. Andrew being able to do what he wants and choosing to visit hasan should tell you something about hasan. or yourself. not the guy you liked until finding out he likes hasan

Annnd now look at the situation with andrew...he has been targeted and is currently being "canceled" over some chicks who, as soon as andrew got a major deal and was about to start making big money, they get wind of this and move in to try and extort him for everything he has and everything he will get or else. No one is perfect and if you ever get big and someone wants to cancel you I have no doubt things or people can be found to do just that smh.

Don't get me wrong. I really liked what Andrew was doing especially in All Gas No Brakes, but I think that his editing tells the clear story. Yes he allows people to talk and he is silent, but he speaks through editing and makes it clear what he wants to communicate. For me in is not pure journalism and he went a little to far with it.

[@patrickmacvane5725]

I mean yes you can do that but as long as he is not only showing specific clips and not giving needed context then I think it's okay

[@brink4987]

I think it bothers you that the videos he makes shows your political biases in a bad light. He edits, true, but he lets people speak enough and we can clearly see all opinions that are trying to be conveyed (for better, or worse).

8:25 I'm Canadian. I requested from my family doctor to see a Dermatologist and a Pulmonologist back in February. I'm still waiting for them to call me for the appointments. Canada's health care system is one of the most expensive in the socialized medicine world and our wait times to see specialists are among the longest in the developed world. Don't get me wrong, I have used emergency healthcare many times. Had SARS in 2002(week in hostpital). Broke a rib, nose x2, ankle and got a concussion in separate incidents and never paid a cent for each visit other than prescription drugs, which are significantly cheaper than in the US. Our healthcare is kind of broken. I believe in socialized healthcare but our implementation of it is deeply flawed.

​@wynn1587 some allegations of sexual impropriety have arisen against him. Not to the level of rape, but pressuring women/being pushy. He made a video talking about his side of the story, and I think he did a good job explaining what had happened. Some people disagree with me. Even Asmon reacted to that video. That's all I heard, I haven't followed much more into it. I know I'm possibly missing some details, so I'm open to hearing those as they come.

[@TwoLeftSh0es]

Anybody who thinks his content doesn't have an agenda or follow a narrative is very naive. The selective editing is done in a way to portray certain groups in a certain light. His films are entertaining but to say it is honest or truthful is inaccurate.

[@MAGAMAN]

There is no honest journalism anymore. The closes I have seen is Project Veritas, which get ignored by ALL the "news" companies, including Fox news.

[@billnyedoesminecraftjoseph8379]

It's actually disturbing that people can't see this. It's entertaining but honest? please.

[@OnAMoonlitPath]

In your opinion, what would be a good example of this dishonest practice?

[@TwoLeftSh0es]

@@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.

I don’t know if there are any news reporters as good as Andrew on the internet but he’s not the only honest one left, asmon reports on events and I feel he does so honestly. Plus he’s only limited to American news mostly it seems.

Honest and legitimate reporting isn’t dead it’s just there aren’t as many real reporters left anymore

[@rickypaynetube]

I am a senior software engineer and have worked for multiple companies and also do consulting for companies. The company you work for owns the codebase. They own the repositories that are most often privately hosted and any commit that makes its way into the codebase is owned 100% by the company. Obvious really. Also, a software developer doesn't create a feature. Features are created by BAs and the solutions architects etc and these are then broken into stories and subtasks that multiple developers will work on.

[@TerryADavis-dx8vp]

I like Andrew's content and all, but I think people are sorely mistaken when they refer to him as "honest" or "unbiased". The guy has a very obvious left-leaning bias that's reflected through the targets he chooses for his vids, and how they're edited to paint certain people in a positive or negative light.

[@TerryADavis-dx8vp]

@@Ar1AnX1x If you watch any of his videos regarding hot-button issues, you'll notice that when he goes to a right-wing event or rally, the people that he interviews are typically unhinged nutcases or just downright incoherent and unable to explain why they believe in what they do (take the trucker strike video for example). 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.

[@dracofells5390]

@@TerryADavis-dx8vp The difference is the arsonist was yelling "that's how we feel Inside" while pointing at the building. Put that to the morbius soundtrack nothing is going to remotely change the context or tone of that. It sounds like he's fighting for justice because he genuinely believes he is. The right-wingers sound delusional because they are. The Q-anon conspiracy theorists don't come across like idiots or fools. 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.
