How to seek truth in the era of fake news | Christiane Amanpour

[@perryman9587]

My advice to Amanpour: Teach people to think critically and do their own research about what they are watching instead of not watching it.

[@FilipeBrasAlmeida]

Nail on the head. Truth, love, and freedom. Orwell would be proud.

[@MaddeningFly]

Not in KZbin's comment section, that's for sure...

[@renukote]

MaddeningFly be smarter than globetards by researching flat Earth

[@MaddeningFly]

rene ibarlucea Thanks for the confirmation, I guess...

[@TippyHippy]

Lol I hope this gets top comment.

[@chandrapanchabhikesan7712]

(Pancha Chandra): Christiane Amanpour is a CNN anchor par excellence. Her viewpoints are carefully thought through and the objectivity she shows educates us all! What a gem who has blazed wonderful trails! She has been lauded with prestigious awards. The TRUTH is her mission.

[@Games4Dummies]

"an algorithm to filter out the crap" this looks scarily close to suggesting censorship

[@C_Bat]

It's quite hard to filter out the crap without disrupting free speech... It's up to us, ourselves to see the whole picture ourselves by reading much more information from all sides with critical methods of thinking.

[@C_Bat]

Vincent Yeah, where there are ill-informed peoppe, it doesn't work well; whereas countries with well-educated people, like European countries, it works.

[@linusbrendel]

The problem is that people develop a certain mindset when reading specific news sources and tend to stick with sources that perpetuate that way of thinking. It gets more and more difficult for people to challenge their views, because the willingness to do so diminishes in a world that becomes more polarized by the day. Another problem is that algorithms in search engines will prefer suggestions that cater to your individual views.

[@wangdangdoodle4944]

Linus Brendel In so deed

[@beardollars]

But as stated in this talk the entire feature of technology is to send people "on their own path". You're telling people to be smart and use the technology the exact opposite way that it's been designed.

[@justSomeUserOnYT]

Linus Brendel this is called an echo chamber

[@rubenhernandez8623]

Turning off the TV 📺 it’s the best way to see news 😱

[@micheall1127]

What's so scary is about 1/3 of the people who clicked on this video are doing the exact opposite of what she's talking about.

[@kesorealtors5801]

Truth and Love⭐⭐

[@BLUE2U]

Stick to the brand names you know -> translates to -> keep drinking the Kool-Aid

[@IvanKP_97]

Associated Press, Reuters, PBS, BBC, The Telegraph, The Guardian, Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, The Economist, Fortune, Nature, Science Magazine,& Nat Geo. There you go - a list of reputable centrist, center-right,& center-left sources ranging from politics to economics to science. It's really easy to gauge bias and reputation there's no excuse for using extremely biased, fake, or click bait sources

[@ParthRastogi]

11:28 that's what you say when you do that yourself

[@omygod9062]

This all about censorship

[@mohamedadamhassan1791]

Amanpoor is my favorite journalist

[@rocketrocket1123]

~i know am talking nonsense~ 12:20. We know.

[@cihangirerdal5524]

Firstly Christiana Amanpour should report news in an honest way I think.

[@RileyReneau]

RIGHT< how is she here??

[@angelic8632002]

Only real way is to learn the fundamentals in a lot of different subjects, and then you can start to infer if something seems off and check multiple sources. Taking bias into account. There are no short cuts here and no simple answers. Simple is for those who don't understand the concept of responsibility.

[@radwulfeboraci7504]

It doesn't matter whether you sort or not. People who don't want to look won't and prefer

[@SuperAtheist]

I remember when TED posted good videos about technology. .

[@LeisureSuitL]

17 minutes and all they needed to say was "Don't watch CNN, MSNBC, don't read WaPo or the NYT". TED talk over.

[@pokegui]

what are your references?

[@genebohannon8820]

Leadership! Turning a country around when the rest of the government and 1% fight himthe whole way. That is leadership. Intestinal fortitude Ya'll

Thanks for the closed captioning attribution. Now I can tell if "CA" is talking or "CA"...

[@saagopian15]

They only seem to talk about Facebook but they never mention Google or KZbin? STRANGE!👀

[@denisolsem8418]

If there was an algorithm to "filter out the crap" this video would not exist.

truth is what happens

When r/theonion and r/nottheonion are indistinguishable, what do you do?

Love and truth. The most important two values in human life yes

[@Navinrana9988]

Awesome 👍

[@stuartyablon7184]

Talk about irony... for Christiane Amanpour to lecture about "truth" and "fake news". Spoken from someone who has spent a career slanting facts to create numerous false narratives.

[@ryancannone2698]

It’s not so much fake news as it is keeping truth

[@hemantpurohit4425]

Christiane Amanpour , you inspire us to take up journalism , reporting & writing editorials !!!!!

[@crazyme6568]

I'm sipping my coffee now...

[@MrGreenstar2012]

At least they're finally admitting that they are fake news

[@darrenmiliband4807]

magnificently explained. thanks Christian.

[@FunkyPrince]

People in this comment section forgot "filtering" doesn't mean "censuring".

[@c32amgftw]

Lol you are asking the devil about heaven

[@marius6279]

I only wander one thing: did she never wrote a news story unbiased?

[@duggydugg3937]

the threat to us is the national debt no other issue is as dangerous....! corrupt gvt has allowed treasury to put us in debt,...$26 TRILLION.. if this doesn't worry you .. you are comatose

[@artoriasdoge3144]

That must have been one of the most uninteresting ted i've seen. They invited that woman that gave zero concrete information and just speaking her mind. Why don't you invite some mass media specialist that could give us some numbers? I'm not saying she is wrong, but i'm used to scientific reasoning on this channel...

[@majedahmed5410]

What is the truth...! If ignorance is bless .. Haven will be full people ..!

[@Orthodoc2024]

Like how she admits she’s talking nonsense XD 12:14

[@LionelNguyen25]

Why there is so much dislike from this video?

[@crazyme6568]

And thank you for that Amanpour, it motivates me more to contradict those tyrants. It's a really mind torturing, devastating and it's a battle (seriously, TOUGH, VERY TOUGH)of ME vs TECHNOLOGY VS HUMANOID, to be fair enough for the ACCOMPLICES, I'VE LEARNED A LOT, even to the point I been cat calling as CRAZY one, coz of out of nowhere opinion, and eventually I used it as my username, am sorry guys but I think 007 is a MISSION that can be POSSIBLY ACCOMPLISH. Shoutout to TO THIS TWO HANDSOME MR. BONDS, LETS TRY TO PASS YOUR TITLE, FOR NOW TRY GIRL POWER, JESSICA ALBA IS THE BEST TO BE THE FIRST MRS. BOND. Hehehe.. Peace! P.S. I'll try to share my references, still gathering and doing some notes. ☺☺☺

the Holy Prophet Muhammad SAW said that it is enough for a person to be a liar if he spreads the information without verification. The modern world have to come to this principle for a better and safer world.

[@mostafizurrahaman6398]

Most of the brand News channels, Firstly the think about their stand and express that news than they think the news is true or false

[@straightstreetdesign]

so anyone not agreeing with you is fake news .. that is objectivity in journalism?

[@138_paul]

It is not the responsibility of a government to provide the truth, it is the duty of an individual to discover the truth. People have the rigjt to be wrong, in fact we are mostly wrong.

[@jakewald1779]

How can any intelligent human say this women isn't bias to one side. I would challenge you to look deeper than what is said on the surface. She works for CNN, which constantly spreads one-side media coverage and only represents one side fairly. Half of these CNN anchors are power chasing people who only seek more popularity and have no integrity to actually say the truth or what is needed to be said. She has nothing of value to say that isn't funded by a political party. Think critically beyond what is said for a certain agenda. There isn't a lot of free news that is worth taking in. I agree with her, go to her on good TRUSTED branches of news and have a wide range of coverage, but do not go to this women for the truth.

[@gloriaf6971]

People aren't able to separate facts from opinions. Journalists need to just report the facts and refrain from commentary.

[@shineemonkey19]

Because news usually reflect an opinion and not a fact. Thus news then wouldnt it always be 'fake' then. If we consider only facts as real then wouldnt almost all news be fake since they always reflect an opinion be it from the journalist or the news agency it comes from. However when it boils down to authenticity, who then can challenge Amanpour's authenticity but Amanpour herself. It is her opinion and her ideas and her experience. It is true to herself so who then can challenge her unless u know and understand her opinions better than herself. I an not defending her but simply stating my opinion. My opinion isnt a fact. Its an opinion just as how most news articles are, whwther obvious or not they always perpetuate the subtle if not obvious opinion of the writer.

[@EmanP223]

Do they actually believe their own BS? Holy cow!

[@papartiska]

Filter the crap agree 100%

[@Ana2000]

Mrs. Amanpour. Back in 90’s, during ex Yugoslavia war, not even one time have you reported truthfully. And I know that, because I was living there and was able to see first hand what was going on. Your reports were partial, not to say manipulative. And you know it.

[@Lamplighter4712]

OK I have given this 2/3 of a view .. and already see flaws .. One dangerous thing that the internet has taught me is to be critical of all information even that coming from people that taut they have 50 million degrees behind their names .. which only means that they are good at following instructions and memorizing information . Understanding and Wisdom cannot come by degrees . First of all the problem I have with their point on Islam and no one should be slaughtering or genociding anyone ,, But because different customs .. traditions .. and lifestyles habits are necessary to people living in different parts of the world in different climates and terrains ... the world does need some boundaries in place as someone living in a climate where vegetation is available all year around .. might not always be able to understand someone living in a climate with short growing seasons . Example .. " The white man is greedy" Many of the tribes of fair complexioned poeple have lived in the colder and more hostile climates .. It was important to them to learn how to store and preserve food .. As fresh supplies were not always going to be available .. and because that window of opportunity for vegetation was limited .. they have to intensely labor .. get it while the getting is good .. So that is in the DNA of most fair complexioned people . No they are not greedy .

[@Lamplighter4712]

Why is it only mentioned when Christians go wrong .. and yet we totally overlook the other side .. It does not make the news that Islamic Extremist tore through a school in Africa slaughtering Christian students .

[@Lamplighter4712]

Climate Change ... I have learned that the world has been going on through this for billions of years and how much human activity affect it remains to be seen . But it is total nonsense to think that the corporations do not want to change and move away from Fossil fuels .. Fossil fuels are very expensive to extract . High Rate of injury .. and dangerous jobs .. they pay out much every year in workman comp for serously debilitating injuries to workers in these fields .. Renewable energy is cheaper to make .. much safer to work with and in many cases the cost is almost zero .. pure profit .. and the process of converting to these forms of energy will be a huge bonanza of profits for the corporations .. but the tactic is to scare the people into the need for change .. then gouge the prices of conversion equipment sky high .. to they can rake the public of its resources and monies ... so there is the game .. So there is what is behind the climate change propaganda .

[@Lamplighter4712]

I learned to question even the World Health Organization . I am old enough to remember when they put out the news everywhere that these baby formulas were superior to human breast milk . And now we see a generation with serious health problems and obesity in part because of sluggish digestive system and improper metabolic functions .. so no entity .including for profit science should be dictating to the public anything .. including no forced religions and so on ... as people should maintain the right to make up their own minds .. and even question the science .

[@nokomismn9685]

+Theresa Franklin - The white man's specialty is war. That's why his Pentagon rules the world.

[@Lamplighter4712]

That is another untruth . The whitemans pentagon does not rule the world . White people of european descent are largely a minority . China owns us all . But one becomes specialty at war because one if they were to survive they had to endure many attacks . They learned from their enemies .. but nope another propaganda misconception is that the white man rules .. never has and never did .. but needs to be sure that the world thinks he does .

[@legomom2boys]

This is a great trailer for the documentary "The Social Dilemma." After viewing this, please see how technology feeds us 'fake news'.

[@natekennedy7274]

Amanpour speaking about fake news is like having a Saudi Arabia lecture on human rights

[@isaacw3212]

This should be good

[@renosdr5251]

tell us the truth A-MAN-POUR teach us more we like being stupid

[@jdhayes99]

I am routinely astonished at the arrogance of journalists who seem to think we are all stupid beyond belief. No, it is not Donald Trump which erodes my faith in mainstream media. Donald Trump is an obvious con artist. What erodes my trust in media is the incessant stream of lies and misleading framing.

[@TedThomson-xd8vk]

"trust the brands you know". This is only reasonable when you can be SURE they have your best interest in mind. I'm not convinced.

[@manueljesuspaucar5951]

That woman who always ask "the hard question" never ever ask about the Israel Nuclear weapons.

[@aleins01]

👍

[@Payne_Inc.]

Her 👣 💖

[@Lamplighter4712]

and to show TED that we out here do have a brain here is another factor . Even thought renewable energy has many advantages here are some disadvantages . As we have seen already .. Nuclear Plants can be very dangerous .. and destructive in natural disasters damage them .... Solar power in a huge way could increase the levels of UV rays and radiation .. just have to see if that will be the case ... Wind power and Water power are probably the best way to go .. and to put the generator onsite of the buildings is the best way .. as it will cause less damage to the terrain and wild life . These so called wind power farms and such are going to be wasteful in the end as they take up space that could be used for farming and such .. and eventually the birds and wild life will adjust to their presence .. but it is better to create the generators on the houses and building and then hook them into a grid and simply create power storage places in various areas .. That way if there is an power outage .. alot of people will not be effected if they can maintain their right to switch of the grid and produce their own power .. but these projects again are about leaderships need to control the population .. they lack knowledge and faith that the cosmos will control this and give us the best outcomes in the end .

[@ipressedabutton]

the truth is = You want money, but money is the root of evil.. thats something you cant explain and you dont really want to talk about would rather sweep that under the rug

[@joshtaylor3397]

It's a journalist's job to seek the truth until the truth becomes inconvenient for them. Just look at CNN.

[@phy29]

Truth last forever lies have a lifetime and die the day truth is oblivious....

[@aristochat3]

Lol ted is beyond parody

[@MarksHomeTeam]

This was truly dissapointing.

[@kenacton5356]

create a filter that remove all opinions but yours .... wow we solved the problems..

[@CM_Burns]

LOL The irony of someone from CNN telling us about fake news..........

[@Bkn_zv]

Ahahahhahaha is this some kind of a joke?! Wants to find truth, interviews the most fake reporter of all times, TED I think it's time for u to shut down, u hit the point of no return. Hypocrisy at its best

[@LeisureSuitL]

TED has become increasingly leftist by the day, and their speakers are subtly pushing totalitarianism all the time.

[@motoringmalaya3905]

The issues here is that those who reply in this thread, present their opinions about TED, Christina or anything are brave to talk because they do not put a face to their posts, effectively protecting themselves. What is your defintion of the most fake reporter of all time? Just because it is not of your liking it becomes fake?

[@Chuffin_ell]

If they lie to you one time, why would you EVER believe anything they say again?

[@purrrbot]

Because as global citizens it's our job to hold journalists and people in power to higher standards and accountability. If you simply give up on the truth, you give into and become complicit with a false narrative and reality. Very few times in history has the truth been factually presented without bias or agenda - humans by nature are incapable of being explicitly objective. You have to make the effort to double, triple-check your information from a number of sources - not just from your two favorite echo chambers. What are the similarities between this information being presented on local, national, and global news sources? Find the consistency in information. What are the common denominators? That is the closest you will get to learning the facts.

[@SasukeUchiha-pv4xn]

Ted Ed talking about fake news .Oh the irony

[@craftspirit]

How many lies did she say?))

[@tyandar716]

They are with the truth :)). This is journalism... What you are doing.. What you are doing in my country. They are the CNN with the apple of truth :)

[@arthurghahramanyan3279]

This woman is nuts.

[@beardollars]

Why?

[@arthurghahramanyan3279]

She speaks of truth with no doubt, like she is always right. If the statement is said confidently, that doesn't mean it is true. And this standard blaming of russians is another way to make people trust you, because everyone who says bad things about russians, regardless of truth of that statment, recieves approbation(I am in no case defending russians, but bullshit is bullshit).

[@frederickhartray9701]

What does CNN say about what Israel does? Do they criticize Obama's wars as much as Putin's war? Did they make us aware of the US's involvement in the coup in Kiev.

[@michelenakamura3360]

This is a personal opinion interview not a news story.

Q: How to seek truth in the era of fake news? A: 1. Take everything with a grain of salt. 2. If it's a Ted Talk remember they have a political bias and take it with a whole salt mine.

[@HeartlessKnave]

3. Look for the x, if it says TEDx, RUN AWAY!

[@Wyzai]

Are you sure that's not Ted X? I think TED itself has been alright. Maybe it has a bias, but after watching around 10 videos I haven't picked up any obvious bullshit.

[@alandoe1122]
