The bit where they heavily imply you're under investigation for sexual assault is absolute dirt

[@stephenheffren4324]

Jordan Shanks has brought up how the Liberal Party, which Lucy and Fergus vehemently support, has been involved in multiple sexual scandals that range from inappropriate to vile abuse. Shanks was considering filing a report against Lucy and Fergus, but decided it wasn't necessary for his current video." 5 dollars says an SMH supporter is going to report and sue me lol.

I just read the article, it doesn't say that anywhere. Overall the article seems as fair as it could be. He wouldn't really talk to them, they asked other people what they thought, and the article doesn't give an overall bad impression of him. "NSW Shooters and Fishers MP Helen Dalton, who recently appeared in a friendlyjordies interview, said she did not always agree with his style or content - but it cut through. "They are the ones coming out to regional areas and asking questions. We've seen the demise of our regional TV news, our papers are doing it tough and we are having less and less say. Friendlyjordies are filling the spot." "

[@softan]

@@YouAreStillNotablaze You seem confused about what the word "imply" means. They talk about a dude under investigation for sexual assault and then adds that Shanks is also under investigation and elaborates no further. They're CLEARLY implying he's also under investigation for sexual assault which isn't true, anyone would assume so from reading that.

I took a Journalism Ethics course in college, and my professor (a local reporter for decades) was so committed to the idea and showed both sides violating ethical standards. It honestly restored some hope in the institution... right up until I remembered she was a local reporter that worked for a regional news company, and no way represented the views and values of the corporate news media. That was honestly more depressing than originally being blackpilled in the first place.

@@jord.an6123 I think his point was that isn't the primary motivation. It's like the argument of an artist who does art as a passion vs a job, there is something less intrusive about getting a product from someone who loves doing it vs someone who's primary motivation is just to sell their art to as many people as possible. The second is more detached view where the individual pieces are a means to an end, where as the other may result in similar ends but the initial purpose is creating the art to be seen and then using it to fund the ability to produce art.

[@OtterMunchy]

(10:48) when Lucy said, “Off the record…completely off the record…” (before Kristo cut in with, “No, this is ON the record…”) you can hear the smile in her voice as she prepared to “go off the record about Bruz…” She wanted to be in on the joke with the cool kids…but, couldn’t make the leap because the money on her employer’s side is good.

Great video Jordan. Here's a funny story for you: I was actually reading the SMH the day they published their hit piece on you.

I wasn't sure what to make of it so I decided to check out your channel and form my own opinions of you. That day I spent upwards of six hours watching your videos and hit the subscribe button. So their hit piece landed you a new sub and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

@@midgetwars1 you’re missing the point though, sure he will use Fairfax (amongst other sites/institutions/whatever) for reporting on mostly literal facts (i.e. law X is being introduced, X many koalas have been killed in this bushfire, this MP resigned from office) or pieces with slant/opinion, but the way in which these topics are reported on, the frequency with which they’re reported, the omission of certain information/facts from pieces which are pushed front and centre, the different ideas which are pushed to the audience and overall the way that an agenda is curated is much more significant and important to analyse rather than simply the fact that certain things were stated or reported on (let alone all the things which AREN’T reported on). Like Jordan said, the SMH has literally reported on Coalition land clearing and other environmental failures, transport and infrastructure shortcomings and more, and yet when it comes to direct corruption evidence against Gladys and time for scrutiny from the press, that past information is all but selectively forgotten and puff pieces are put out to humanise her, even ignoring the current blatant corruption allegations. And this is how Jordan is saying an agenda is curated, by on paper seeming like you’re impartial because you can go ‘no actually we said this bad thing about the libs one time so that means we’re not biased towards them’ when really that means shit compared to every other way in which they’ve unseemingly supported them under everyone’s noses.

“Completely domesticated pets of the coalition!” Absolute gold ... keep up the great work Jordan

[@joshmason179]

Great vid, but I just want to add a point that might be assumed but needs to be clarified in my opinion: The headline of the article itself is an admission of guilt, purely in the language it uses. By this, I mean the following: If you watch friendlyjordies for any length of time (as these journos should have done but obviously didn't do) the main point of his videos are obvious: highlight problems in Australia's media, politics and culture, often using comedy as a chaser. Things like corruption, greed, bias - basically everything explored in this video. With this in mind, calling friendlyjordies a problem to be fixed is the same as the Coalition and 9/Fairfax saying "we are corrupt, greedy and biased, and we want to continue being that way without repercussions or consequences. Jordies is standing in our way, how do we get rid of him?" - the result of this being trying to solve the 'problem' that is some of the only hard-hitting and rigorous journalism in the country. It's disgusting. The MSM is not real journalism, it's a machine for manufacturing consent and controlling a nation, and the existence of this article alone is a demonstration of that.

[@tomiantenna7279]

I swear to god, I was 40 mins into the segment before realizing they weren't in fact asking how to solve problems the Jordie way, but actually asking how to solve the problem of Jordie. Jesus fuck, "they cluck their necks and stroke their beards and ask, what's to be done about this Homer Simpson?"

[@handsdowntoo7150]

@@tomiantenna7279 I recognised the reference to The Sound of Music, so I understood the title meant Jordies was the "problem". But it only makes the reference even more baffling, because the women who sing the song (How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria) in the movie are nuns who don't know what to do with Maria because she's airheaded, wild, annoying, and essentially....not a "proper"" nun like them. Maybe the journos didn't look into the reference THAT deeply, but if they did, does that mean they consider themselves the good, righteous, godly nuns in the analogy? Its hilarious.

I know I'm super late to this, but the unfortunate thing is that the corruption is basically a badge of honor in american politics. Everyone knows that most of the politicians are corrupt, probably around this level if they think they can get away with it. The corruption is so obvious that most people, even a good chunk of those that vote, already know about it. Another issue is that american politics is so crazy I swear each party could form their own religion around them if they wanted to.
