[@TEDxBillings]

Such a wonderful talk! We were honored to have Lisa on our stage and in our city ❤

[@LisaRemillardOfficial]

I was honored to be there. Thank you for having me.

[@karricronin3035]

My favorite news girl!! She is amazing and so factual!

[@LisaRemillardOfficial]

Thank you! I appreciate your kind words about my work.

[@Robert-gk1zy]

So amazing Im one of her subscribers and she is one of the best news sources out there for politics. Great and factual content every day explaining and breaking down the details of what she covers.

[@lowkeyy.yeuris]

This was such a good speech! I love how Lisa always stays neutral and gives zero opinions, it speaks to everyone on the political spectrum and gives no chances to make assumptions about her beliefs, so all you can do is listen to what she has to say rather than judge. So proud of you girl!💜

[@LisaRemillardOfficial]

That's such a thoughtful thing to say. Thank you. I appreciate your support.

[@tammygruse7569]

Ty for being a real journalist and unbiased. It’s so refreshing just getting the facts and that I can actually trust what u say.

[@LisaRemillardOfficial]

You're welcome. I'm glad I can help.

[@reneeperry2214]

Lisa you're reporting is always honest, unbiased and informative. I no longer have tiktok which is where I first followed you. Now I'm thankful for your KZbin channel where I am a loyal subscriber. I share your informative videos with others. It is reassuring, knowing what media source to follow for the truth.

[@LisaRemillardOfficial]

I appreciate you making the jump to KZbin to follow me. Thank you so much and thank you for watching my speech.

[@markartist8646]

True. If you can separate the facts from the emotion- you then have the truth, plain and simple. It also helps to have some knowledge of psychology which is one of the best tools for judging the facts regarding the human dynamics at play in the political arena. In this day and age, the ability to judge someone's character is more valuable than the discernment of policies and agendas, which are mere smoke screens.. Critical thinking IS KEY. Thankyou for your talk!

[@Maxwellp101]

As a com major this is a great talk from a psychoanalytic perspective

[@LisaRemillardOfficial]

Thank you so much. Please share it with your fellow comms students.

[@lisakelly5698]

Such an informative speaker. Never puts a spin on the facts. She simply tells it like it is.

[@LisaRemillardOfficial]

"Tells it like it is" is my middle name. 😉 Thanks for watching.

[@adkinsmatt222]

I’ve been following Lisa for a while. I’ve always loved her for her fact-based journalism. So many great points in this talk. We all need to be more aware of bias in the media we consume and broaden our intake. The divisiveness that media echo-chambers have caused is a big problem in our country and the entire world. Confirmation bias is very real. We all need to think critically about the info we intake and always be careful to form our opinions based on facts, not feelings. Always consider the source.

[@LisaRemillardOfficial]

Exactly. ALWAYS consider the source. Thank you so much for following me and supporting my work. It means so much.

[@juliereynolds753]

Lisa, you rocked that speech! I admire you & the work you do. I always screen record your TikTok’s so I can go back & listen again. I love that you stay neutral & being just the facts, you’re appreciated. We need more like you.

[@LisaRemillardOfficial]

Thank you for the compliment Julie! I appreciate you watching my talk!

[@Veronica12041]

Amazing! Great job Lisa! I've sent this to about 10 people already. 💕💕💕

[@LisaRemillardOfficial]

LOVE THIS! Thank you. Please feel free to keep sharing it. I appreciate that.

[@smithj22]

I look forward to her every day on the clock app, here on KZbin, and in my inbox!

[@lauren-614]

Same!

[@freeamerican63]

Great talk. Thinking for ourselves is definitely the way to go. Sometimes it’s hard to be unbiased. But like you say facts aren’t feelings or opinions. I’ve followed you for a couple years now. I trust your journalism expertise. Thank you.

[@LisaRemillardOfficial]

Thank you for the long time follow! That means a lot.

[@nicp8548]

I look forward to your e mails! I’ve been following you for many years! You’re easy to listen to, you don’t pick one side or the other. You just tell it as it is. You’re a beautiful person. Thank you so much for all you do !

[@LisaRemillardOfficial]

Thank you for the kind words. I really appreciate that. And thanks for signing up for the Roundup email!

[@petelininger562]

Enjoyed your talk. I am concerned about the evolution of journalism and the bias media these days. We just need the facts. Journalist are obsessed with the story rather than facts and my opinion the mainstream media is destroying the country.

[@Endtimerevolutionists]

Congratulations, Lisa!!!! What a stunning lecture, and you NAIIED it! You are my #1 journalist! 🎉

[@rachelsreels9494]

Amazing!! Lisa is such a talented speaker and such a needed voice in this area of media and misinformation. Well done! 👏👏👏

[@geraldwhite5234]

LISA'S TED TALK: Misinformation and News Thank you for your thoughtful presentation. You provided valuable insights by prioritizing the facts and using them effectively. I found your talk to be highly informative, and I plan to share this knowledge with my family here in Tampa. Keep up the excellent work!

[@tomcutsinger9473]

Very well put together speech. I hope it gets spread far and wide.

[@LisaRemillardOfficial]

You and me both.

[@D-Imagine]

Hello Lisa, I just finished watching your TED talk. I hadn’t done it earlier because I wanted to make sure I had the time and attention to fully focus on you and what you had to say. Unfortunately, we often don’t put much trust in journalists these days, but your talk has significantly changed that misconception for me. Many professionals today have chosen to set aside objectivity in favor of subjectivity, which is incredibly damaging to information, as it ultimately misleads those who genuinely seek reliable facts to form their own opinions. I was truly impressed by your perspective and greatly appreciate how clearly, yet powerfully, you explained the distinction between opinion and fact, as well as the importance of discerning the information we receive. Thank you very much

[@LisaRemillardOfficial]

First of all I so appreciate you waiting for the right time to take in this information. I always feel it's best to listen when you're in the right head space. I also appreciate how much what I said resonated with you and I am so glad it made sense. I hope more people take the time and watch it like you did. Thank you.

[@D-Imagine]

@@LisaRemillardOfficial it was a real pleasure listening to you and your explanation. I really appreciate it

Thank you!

[@63fab]

Thank you Lisa! Just finished listening and watching. I appreciate you clarifying all this and also sharing the history of how we switch from “finite news” to 24/7 which included the fillers with commentators and opinions. That picture in front of the small TV was precious btw… to be continued! Merci!

[@LisaRemillardOfficial]

You're welcome. I'm so glad I can help. I'm glad I could shed some light on how we got here.

I'm the eleventh "like", just so u know when this blows up! Lol, Lisa is the best source for news

[@juliereynolds753]

I’m 129 😂 🎉

@@juliereynolds753 😂😂😂

[@MrFernanrc]

there use to be a time when TV had shows, they where good, so good, you didn't watch or care about the news.

[@anglkrys2]

The problem is that every newspaper and media presence is deemed fake or unreliable by all. How can we decipher what’s a good source from a bad one

[@sew696dan]

I've started fact checking EVERYTHING I hear and read before repeating it and it's exhausting. Just looking for the proper context is hard especially when Google searches don't help. When trying to check some claim that Harris makes, many times Google only returns reports about Trump. Even when using From: To: filters and " " or ( ) Google often ignores them making it impossible to verify some things.

[@andrewprice7505]

I do not disagree on any point made by this intelligent, well informed journalist, but a key point missed is that just before her time there was law called the Fairness Doctrine that had been repealed by Republicans. Generally speaking the Fairness Doctrine stipulated that any news broadcast or media outlet regulated by the FCC required that all sides of a political point of view be given equal time and access to the consumer so that they were well informed. Once cable came along ( a medium she seems to think was a benefit, it appears), it was not regulated the same as broadcast tv because the source of transmission and reception were privately owned. I would argue that the repleal of the Fairness Doctrine was the beginning of this mess she has so eloquently and succinctly expounded upon. It is good to see someone willing to hold up a mirror to all those around them and themselves. I agree that this mess is partially our fault as a society. Although since corporate media has learned how to isolate and manipulate the public, it will be difficult to reverse.

[@kumarwickramasingha6902]

Great talk. Thank you for making me understand what I was doing wrong. Please do a another talk on how to stay fit and get amazing legs like Taylor Swift!😍

[@danielacosta7544]

People do your own research past and present

[@FauxyPoo]

I don’t think she is unbiased. She certainly has her opinions like us all but she seems to take her profession seriously enough to shelve those biases. Also I know it’s irrelevant but my god, she is ✨GORGEOUS✨

[@Veronica12041]

She is very unbiased... if she has her opinions like a normal human being she does not tell us. That makes her unbiased. She tells us facts about both sides.

[@rockmominor]

Where do we get the facts?
