The main thing missing was the anchors mentioning results of a clinical science study on behaviour, food, biology, medication, products to purchase, etc. without mentioning the sample pool size, where it was conducted, possible confirmation bias from participants, the large majority of lab results that disprove the hypothesis, how weak the results were, that other factors contributed to positive or negative results which render the whole thing inconclusive, or that the study was funded by an organization that would profit off the marketed public response the news story would create.

I don't know if it's the same in other countries, but in the UK, all the newstations go on about "experts say this" and "experts say that". Who are these alleged experts?

That or correspondents stating their “opinion” as fact. Which their opinion is also bought and paid for by the corporations and government. We basically get fed a bunch of bs on a constant basis.

Mark Twain put it best: "If you don't read the newspaper, you're uninformed. If you read the newspaper, you're mis-informed." Replace 'newspaper' with today's news sources (both mainstream and social media since they're both terribly flawed in their own ways), and that gives you today's information conundrum. A balancing act of needing to stay informed without being misled.

[@RatedRMario21]

As someone who has lived in south Florida for many years, the natural disaster coverage is spot on. "Well we have this cluster of clouds off the coast of Africa that has about a 20% chance of developing significantly, but we can say with 100% confidence it *will* become a hurricane and it *will* have significant impact on our local viewing area. The best course of action is to go to your local chain store who happens to be sponsoring this station and frantically buy 3 weeks worth of bottled water and non-perishable food *RIGHT NOW* "

[@Mabidemonstrations]

After Ian tho.. and I live in Fort Myers... I wont take any chances

[@lindseysummers5351]

From the north part of the Florida coastline through about the central coast of South Carolina, we're usually pretty safe from hurricanes unless the jet streams steer a storm right into us. Doesn't stop our local broadcasters from messing themselves anytime a tropical system forms. We usually get some close brushes and residual effects, but nothing major. Riding out a Category 4 storm is not an experience I would choose to repeat, but I really wish these journalists were more concerned with truth than ratings.

Horton hears some news I love it.

[@AntiPhonedrone]

A humorous insight into a horrifying fact.

[@RJ2A81]

I almost forgot that I wasn’t watching the actual local news😂

[@wildbill7267]

When I do watch the local news in my dentist’s office, I never want to leave the house again. All the horror stories.

[@DemonicAdj]

My dentist shows home improvement shows. That helps

[@melissacooper8724]

The only thing they show in the waiting room at my dentist office are Disney Pixar movies.

Ah man. I was just talking with my coworkers about this the other week. They were telling me about a news story about some people being killed in another country by a bomb, and the I asked them, so what are you gonna do now that you have that information? They replied,well there's nothing I can do about it but I need to be informed, to which I asked them, stay informed to do what? The news is designed to keep you fearful and stressed out. Because if you constantly afraid and stressed, you won't feel motivated to actually go out in the world in create impactful societal change, which is the whole point. Not to mention, the more depressed and bummed out more, the more you'll want to spend on material things to make yourself feel better--the very material things from the sponsors of the news you watch. I still do Google News where I can customize what news I want to hear about mainly just to do my podcasts and write pieces about sociopolitical issues. Other that, I do my mental health the favor of not watching the news. This video was dropping some 🔹.

[@RobyDreamer.]

Well said!

[@poethnicjusticepodcast]

@@RobyDreamer.much obliged to you, truly

[@cranklabexplosion-labcentr8245]

Ready for some real hard unapologetic truth. Lets go

[@thelaughingfoxx]

The most accurate news channel I’ve seen yet 👌

[@coldwolf7014]

3:35 greatest line of 2024 so far 😂😭

[@deen2400]

So brave, so honest. So true it hurts.

[@melissastarr7451]

Our local news will go to extraordinary and comical lengths to find any connection to our local or regional area and international events. I do remember when they compiled that collection of local news channels all saying the same thing in the same format with the same background colors and they used the same formula to pair the two anchors, communicating that propaganda and compiled all next to each other. It was absolutely eerie and that's when everybody I knew. Finally understood that all of these news outlets that are supposed to be local are owned by the same conglomerate. 😢

[@EmpireStateExpress01]

Welcome to Metro Detroit! I remember there was one international news event a few years ago, and they found someone who hasn't stepped foot in Metro Detroit since 1980's as our local connection to the story. I kid you not 😂

[@mikemann1960]

John Oliver did this very well. KZbin is just that very thing.

[@ItsJustAisling]

"Fuckaround Ave and Findout Blv" killed me.

[@chivalrousjack]

Most accurate journalism I've ever seen.

[@Chris_Hood]

Add in how local affiliates gloss over local bad news in favour of what happens in other surrounding locales. Our town is sunshine and rainbows, while these other communities nearby are festering wastelands!

[@MatthewTheWanderer]

Um, no? They usually talk about bad local news, too, and make it seem like crime and other things are way worse locally than they really are. They absolutely do NOT make the local area look good at all! Anytime they have "good" news, it's irrelevant nonsense.

[@aquariandawn4750]

I'd call that accurate and I appreciate you not crapping on half of your audience blaming everything on only the right or left

[@arandomperson8336]

Thank for for explaining why I don't watch TV news anymore

[@jimgresham5529]

Reporters standing in raincoats, , , ,your killin' me.

[@melissacooper8724]

They do exactly that! On very cold days they are bundled up like Eskimos!

[@jamesmurff193]

Brilliantly written, I must say.

[@niggaflies]

This is so accurate! This is why I don’t watch news. My parents think you get informed but you don’t.

[@paulis7319]

I've waited all my life for this news station!

[@khiclark31]

I feel like i just watched the news for real. The only things missing were sports and weather lol

[@alienonion4636]

Yep, most accurate news I've seen in decades and I'm pretty old.

[@RotneybotOfficial]

Stopped watching the news many years ago and held no regrets since.

[@AustynSN]

"Remind me to tell ya something racist later." 😂

[@Talon97]

"At the corner of Fuckaround avenue" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@georgiasweetpotato7170]

"and Find Out Blvd in the city of Crime Town" 🤣🤣🤣

[@loser2466]

​@@georgiasweetpotato7170Lovely Area!

[@Piano_Castle]

Only thing missing was the one poignant story at the end; featuring a cute puppy so we still want to live after hearing 50 stories to scare the shit out of us...

[@niteshades_promise]

Yep after your 2 minutes of hate, they give you a quick feel good story. Like your blood isn't still boiling.😂🍻

[@JoseLopez-tk4tq]

Right! Any cute furry critter rescued from certain death is the frequent closing segment.

[@music18021]

Yup the good news is always near the end of the news cycle and usually paired with the weather lol

[@Arkteckx]

One of your best yet; hands down 😂

[@JohnJones-qk7dv]

Thanks RogNews. If it bleeds it leads. It's not a snowstorm, it's a snopaclyspe. It's not a thunderstorm, it's a first alert storm watch.

[@englishlearningcenter1470]

I stopped watching the news years ago because of all of this. Thank you for calling out all the BS😂😂😂😂😂
