    What do you consider to be the most trustworthy news source? Would love to hear from you.

    • @SamUnreel
      @SamUnreel 3 года назад +1

      Colorado Public Radio, PBS NewsHour, BBC News, AP, Reuters, ABC NewsOne, NBC News Channel, CBS Newspath. Also, I know the industry backwards and forwards. Nexstar is iffy and SBC is biased (must airs). Scripps is pretty good. Tegna is good, but tends to become somewhat a production farce. CBS is mediocre. Gray is ok, if it bleeds it leads. What I don't see is great news marketing. News producers should not work in promotions.

    Even media that tries to stay only with facts can choose which facts they will talk about. One of the best ways to get the full story is to look at both liberal and conservative media to get both sides of the story. Even the fact-checkers mess are biased.

      You're correct in some ways. If one is going to watch news that leans slightly towards one political direction I would definitely watch both sides of the spectrum, just be sure to watch real news and not entertainment disguised as news; basically any cable news commentary. Thanks so much for watching, Farley!

      I can't speak for other stations, I simply don't know. But we're lucky with our graphics here at KRDO specifically. We have big time talent that produced major market looking graphics for us recently and they look fantastic!

      ​@@JoshHelmuth​Josh, have you looked at TVNewsTalk or talked to top 10 DMA Marketing Professionals with any expertise in the business? The new look you have I could rebuild in After Effects without as much as dropping a 3D model into it or using any additional plugins. Unfortunately, I've heard only negative things about the look from all kinds of marketing professionals. NPG should consider hiring out to standardize.
      They aren't boring as what KMGH and KOAA use (Scripps standardized) but I'm concerned they may cause a viewer a seizure.

      ​ @Josh Helmuth I'm confused. Is this package using vertical rectangles, horizontal lines, trapezoids, arrows, triangles or fuzzy dots? Which of the 4 fonts on your title card are they sticking with? GMA designed those in-house and while the theming is more consistent than KRDO's, it lacks any depth. Finally, Aerial is the most used news music package from Stephen Arnold Music in the country at this time. In fact, Stephen Arnold Music is used at all but two stations (in Denver; KUSA and KCNC) in Colorado. I can name you each one.
      Love the new set, though. Definitely fits the market. Who did design it?

      @@SamUnreel I think I'm confused as well, Sam. Are speaking about Good Morning Colorado/KRDO/NPG or my RUclips video? My graphics in my RUclips video are completely separate, my own branding, and has nothing to do with Good Morning Colorado/KRDO.

    Why do most of the more factual news providers lean left?

    • @FarleyAnderson
      @FarleyAnderson 3 года назад +1

      Because more of the colleges they go to lean left.

    • @ellea3344
      @ellea3344 3 года назад +2

      Because "the left" are pro-people, not pro-corporate police state, military industrial complex, wall street, big pharma, big oil, etc. The left are independent journalists that would lose credibility and cease to be a platform for news if they posted the tripe from even a single day that Fox, MSNBC, CNN, and every other corporate rag reported. The center-right corporate media that Josh works for loves 100% subjective charts like these that promote themselves as the gospil and are dismissive of very real, fact-based, critiques of their propaganda in an effort to manufacture conscent. That Josh said they should not be taken as gospil, yet made a lengthy video to lionize these BS charts as reliable gate keepers, is all you need ti know. Those charts ONLY tell you where they want you to believe the uninformed bias heard gets their information.

  • @ellea3344
    @ellea3344 3 года назад +1

    Media Bias charts are memes. 100% subjective charts cannot be used to derive objective conclussions. Every chart shown in this video is 100% subjective and intended to manufacture concent as to control the center-right corporate narrative. The chart does nothing more than cultivate and reenforce the opinions of the heard mentality that stifles debate and marginalises a free press. The person pushing these charts is a nice guy in a nice suit, and most relivant, a corporate tool to his core.

      I obviously couldn't disagree more, Elle. I hope you click on the links I have provided regarding the research that goes into these charts. They likely aren't perfect and shouldn't be used as gospel, but I believe they're a useful tool for people who may not be aware what they're watching/reading. Have a nice day, Elle!

      ​@@JoshHelmuth Serious question, have you ever taken a course in logic, or read any books about manufacturing consent? Let's stick with the chart you find most credible or reliable. The ad fontes one. Premised right out the gate with a logical fallacy - false equivalence, normalizing far-right sites, and depicting center-right corporate media as neutral or even left. Charts like these are nothing more than viral memes, and you tout them uncritically as a means to derive objectivity from 100% subjectivity. The CEO of the ad fontes chart openly admits the chart is 100% subjective, then employs a Motte and Baily logical fallacy in an effort to defend the indefensible. The Chart either IS what you say it is, or it is not. And by the CEO of ad fontes own admission, it is NOT.
      It brings me no joy to say you're part of the problem Josh. A zealot for the corporate, pro-police state, pro-military industrial complex, pro-wall street, pro-big pharma, pro-big oil... media. It's anti-free press, anti-"we the people", and anti-American Josh. They didn't teach you that in whatever "journalism" school you attended, but they should have. You tout the Chart because you agree with it and it benefits you while supporting your pre-conceived beliefs. The chart provides no value or utility other than to demonstrate the lengths people will go to, to propagandize a populous and protect their own self-interests. The chart is not a tool. Those who peddle the chart as a tool are tools. I am having an AMAZING day Josh. Thanks for the well wishes. The truth is very liberating. Please do better.
      P.S. don't bother with the predictable dismissal that "your news got rated bad, that's why you're mad."

      @@JoshHelmuth Great question Josh. Step 1) get off cable and get on the internet
      Step 2) find out which billionaire or media group owns the news you watch.
      Here is an informative, while not all inclusive that I found within 20 seconds of a search "top 100 digital news paper outlets".
      Step 3) Stop reading them. Where corporations and bilionaires are involved is where journalism goes to die, and entertainment grinds for clicks.
      Step 4) search "award winning (hit post too soon, had to edit) independent journalist" aka Izzy awads, and search for publications from them, for anything you are interested in that is consequencial for people to be informed about (e.g. working class people human rights, big oil, the war machine, goverment corruption at all levels, homelessness, heathcare, etc.)
      Step 5) while a great start, KEEP expanding your independent news sources and ALWAYS keep a skeptical mind.
      The purpose of news is to inform, not keep people sedated and plugged into your corporate cash cow.
