As an American, the news presented on TLDR (all of the channels) is substantially less biased than most news channels from the US. I stuck around and continue watching your videos because there's a lack of extreme rhetoric unless it is warranted, and that is normally tame without obviously insulting or praising. I appreciate all of the work the team does, and how you can openly accept and act upon the criticism of those with more keen eyes and ears than myself. On a side note, I didn't watch the podcast when the juggling comment was made, but that would be quite entertaining. That video my get a like ratio of 99.5%. LOL

[@BooleanDev]

yeah thats true, but their left wing bias is always there because they are European and Europeans are as a whole are further to the left than the US e.g., the EU has traditionally few right wing parties in power, they are "left" of our Democratic party

[@effluxi9587]

​@@BooleanDevby world standards, it's not so much EU has no right as America has no left. The democrats are a center right "preserve the current status quo" party and the Republicans are nowadays a regressive, populist one. Part of why America is in such a sorry state as of late is because your two options are decidedly "keep everything the same" or "put things back to how they used to be, whether that's bad (usually is) or not. This also why it appears as though Europe is far left from an American perspective - American politics will only ever keep as is under the dems, or shift further right under the repubs - as it has been doing. Europe has a lot of genuine left wing parties with socialist policies and as a result a lot of popular left wing policies currently in effect - but they also have parties that nearly directly mirror America's - The UK's for example, being the conservatives to the Democrats and Reform to the Republicans. But it also has, Labour, Lib dems, and Greens to the left of them, and even some more local parties in the SNP and Plaid for Scotland and Wales respectively. Left wing policies are genuinely discussed and considered while in America, the senate would scoff at the idea because it syphons their power.

The criticism of being monotone should just be ignored, a newscaster is suppose to avoid being emotionally charged or using emotionally leading language. If you look back at the "golden age" of American journalism news presenters take incredible pains to maintain even cadence and a neutral tone. The news is suppose to give information not opinions, if you can want emotionally charged speech and language essentially every other news channel provides this service.

I think my biggest issue with TLDR is the assumption that it’s possible to be impartial. The vast majority of the time, impartiality assumes the status quo, which means it isn’t impartial at all. Personally, I’d rather you just owned your biases. In your recent interview with Rachel Reeves, for example, there was no real challenge to her record or her ideological commitments, which is frankly not good enough for any journalist worth their salt. One of the basic functions of political journalism is holding those in power to account, and Reeves is very much in power. Her economic ideology is essentially the same as George Osborne’s, yet that went completely unaddressed. How can you ignore something so fundamental when interviewing someone in her position? This is exactly why the claim of impartiality is so frustrating-it often becomes a mask for reinforcing existing power structures. If you’re not questioning those structures, you’re not being impartial; you’re just being complicit.

Also the lack of juggling is unprecedented, you get the idea

[@mootagen1]

How do you view Ciolacu's and PSD's decision to withdraw from negotiations to form the future government? It would be exciting to hear an opinion from a Romanian. As I see it, Romania may be heading into the same crisis Bulgaria has been in for three years.

If its not independendt (funded directly by the people) thenits just shitmedia sadly

The ad's & clickbaity-ness have improved recently. Putting the ads at the end is good.

[@RiverShock]

One thing I will say about ads is that ad length DOES make a difference. The length of a video can be a rough indicator of how in-depth you go on a given topic. A much longer ad spot makes that a less accurate indicator. Granted, for someone like me who is going to watch them anyway, it doesn't matter THAT much. But it does feel a little bad when a video is shorter than expected because of an extra-long ad spot.

[@jamessloven2204]

Yesterday they put out a 9 minute video. 6 minutes of content and 3 minutes of ad. It wasn’t because of sponsor read either. They were promoting their newspaper.

[@darkguy555]

i really like watching your guys video as an american. Very informative and the videos are a great length, not too long. Keep up the great work. This video you guys all seem like cool dude. Also shout out to whoever put The 1975 band reference in one of the videos, i forgot which one.

[@joroa7151]

I want to say that TLDR is not really THAT biassed. Mostly the audience when reading the comments are overwhelmingly, but you at least try to not pander to them to much. It is really difficult to avoid audience capture - which is happening everywhere. TLDR at least tries and THAT is better than most others. As someone who is very far to the right on most issues, I still value your content a lot and appreciate the effort.

[@tru7hhimself]

those who criticise TLDR of having a left wing bias only come out sometimes, but when they do they come in huge numbers, all with the same message. that makes you wonder if they are people at all or automated responses...

[@langren2624]

So here are the three main reasons I think TLDR is great: The first and most simple reason is that I like it, Secondly, I find they strike an amazing balance between humor and seriousness(specially in more recent videos the editors I think are doing great but the writers as well), and finally, They have achieved the best balanced between providing current and impartial reporting I have seen, while doing it for literally *FREE* (I will say I do wish more international voices from the global south could be brought in, specially for tldr global, but it makes sense why it is not the case. But it is something I would love to see in the future)

[@BrunoRegno]

I appreciate your acknowledgement of the left leaning bias. That is very transparent and professional from you. I agree that individuals will have a position, and that is a fact, but keeping filters on reaction to facts seems a very good way of "trimming towards neutral"

[@Rachaelorly]

Zac as in husband of one of my fave ever tiktok creators Saff?!?! Did not expect worlds to collide in this way...

[@none26272]

I trust more this channel for news than the major ones. This Channel is transparent and expresses the key points of boths sides. Keep the good work up, and take positive feedback and not hateful feedback.

[@MinorCirrus]

Jack, Ben and Georgina are indeed quite handsome now that you mention it.

[@JPminer814]

This is by far my most consistent news source and by far my favorite. Thanks for all your work and recognizing and trying to be neutrally biased.

[@DNW1993]

I consider myself to be pretty conservative and I don't find TLDR to have much left leaning bias at all. In the few instances where an opinion/comment is made, which challenges my views, I appreciate it, given that it's never done in a manner that's condescending or snarky.

[@rcth42456]

Support! One of the best news channel I’ve ever seen on KZbin🙌🏻

[@Naturenerd1000]

CNN wouldn't make a video on their mistakes.

[@theinquist]

These guys are pretty centrist tbh

[@carlosmartin6088]

Thanks for this video and for your work. The fact that you face criticism with this spirit and the professionality you show day by day makes me remember there's tons of great journalists out there. A hug from Spain. (PS: Too long is in the three wise men list)

[@getnohappy]

I love it when RW accuse people of bias, but especially TLDR as they really are (sometimes painfully) neutral. What you're saying is "if the facts don't meet my feelings, the facts are to blame", so go reflect on that instead maybe?

[@dreamingwide]

The parts about being "monotonous and boring" really is too personal. I think you're doing a great job

[@aaronevans3656]

Im very happy with the channel, have been since the pre Brexit days. Helps me be informed accurately. Well done :)

[@zackcorrell5746]

"Why are you biased?" "we're not. Get bent"

[@CityOfTinyLines]

Well instantly my new critisism is you should give Nadja Lovadinov an on-screen job.

[@rubenvasquez2590]

Hey guys, I find your journalism the best in terms of accuracy, bias and deepness. I love your summaries and explanations, keep strong.

[@romemadali84]

this channel is one of the best. Period

[@davidskubic5606]

love the transparency in the video and feedback. Love it, thank you

[@craigowen511]

I started watching you guys during the Brexit days. You have come a long way. Congratulations!

[@scottanderson691]

I live in the US (central midwest to be more specific). And I can honestly say I watch far more TLDR than I do of any US based news/media agency or even the BBC. I really appreciate your take on current world events and, while I don't agree with your news group on a number of opinionated issues, you have a very refreshing, effective, and well rounded delivery. Thank you and please keep up the good work.

[@kryskozlowski142]

Man I remember finding you guys in 2017, when Jack had no sm7b, and debating what audio equipment would work for your setup. It still boggles the mind that a few students can so much improve the standards of broadcast news with so little. Amazing job guys, don't take the ramblings online too seriously, you're doing amazing work

[@marius-catalinzavada6932]

I actually love "you get the idea", especially when I actually do get the idea. I'll sometimes nod or audibly agree "yes yes". Please don't stop saying it

[@_Unlukey]

Most of the complaints are very pedantic.

[@bradduncan8515]

I don't know what people are going on about with the ads. I love how you guys do the ads.

[@YouveBeenCabadged]

I didn't know Ben and Jack were different people.

[@Chrissy717]

lol

[@romvoid5177]

Unprecedented unbiased comedy = 10/10 .... 3 reasons for their lack of biased juggling = 0/10
