We are not FAKE NEWS" - CNN
CNN ought to replace their slogan *FACTS MATTER* with *CLOSE ENOUGH*
"This is a banana" remake? I can't wait :)
And Fox News
CNN = Communist News Network
This is what democracy looks like, not the commercial, the comments.
😂😂😂
Indeed. I'm surprised that RUclips is even ALLOWING comments on this.
@@dlukton stop it with your "hate speech" 🤣
@@dlukton it's probably a data collection process. To know who the bad people are...and the trained seals will get a fish then they can mindlessly go off and call other bad people Russian bots or nazis.
Thank you for some sane commentary
You are fake news. If you were honest you wouldn't need to spend millions of dollars on an ad trying to convince people you're honest.
So every company that runs an advert is dishonest?
Maybe they were just trying to get more people to buy subscriptions because, well, they are a business...
Its not that deep

News outlets aren’t businesses
@@ajgerbi Yes they are. To say otherwise is almost criminally stupid.
This is the kind of logic I would expect from a Trumptard. I would pity you if you weren't a dangerous moron.
they are going under.... in 10 years this company will not be here
Actually democracy dies with thunderous applause
As it should, democracy is bullshit, subjugation by the masses.
democracies don't work never have never will.
the only question is who should rule, your own people or self interested outsiders.
currently the United States is ran by self interested outsiders.
Thanks for the tip, Padme.
Whew good thing the US isn't a democracy. Long live the republic!
The Republic will be reorganized into the FIRST Galatic Empire!
Hello There
7k downvotes, 10k up votes, yet you can't find any positive comments, me thinks someone is trying to manipulate
When a commercial costs $10 million what's $500 more, that's what 10k likes costs.
Naaah, they'd never lie to us. They only want whats best and know better than us. Trust them.
chevytheplayer
That's the very same thing I was just thinking :)
I believe there can be simpletons to react emotionally and hit 'like'. It's good, professionally-made propaganda that push right emotional buttons. Audio/visual stimuli is on point.
but of course that doesn't mean they are not manipulating vote counts...
This is like RUclips rewind were you can’t find a single positive comment. THATS GOOD!!!
At least they haven't censored them
bball and soccer bball and soccer yess. That means google managed to shows this to a lot of conservative haters. They must have felt very lonely outside their echo chamber XD
Bball...I see what you did there. Forrest Gump's "that's good"
How is this good? We need journalism in our society and The Washington Post is a pretty reliable news source.
@@tonyzepeda2502 They attacked Convington kids without any evidence. They shamed Kamala Harris for her sexual past. Economist, WSJ are pretty good sources.
Washington Post is like "PLEASE BELIEVE US!!" 😂😂😂
🤣
Nope not gonna believe them - go to their website with adblock to tax their servers
When Journalism is totally based on click counts, and click counts are based on polarized exaggerated opinion, the truth died in the full light of a computer screen.
WP = Whiney Propaganda

I was looking for this comment. 😂
journos w/NPC faces - now that's the ad the DNC mothership wouldn't want anyone to see.
may this reach the top comment.
Remember how you libeled Pewdiepie at a Nazi as part of your character assassination of people you disagree with?
No and neither do the NPCs.
Yet today VICE had huge layoffs. How bout this....learn to code.
Can i just mention how Badly photoshopped your picture is?
Sure you can, but I didn't photoshop it, I flat out stole it from another user. So there you go.
damn you, I'm old I was trying to wipe that fly off my screen lol
when Fake News spends 5 million bucks telling you they aren't Fake News 😂
Almost 12 million for a 1m 10s ad, actually
Fake news
And if you have to tell everyone else just how important you think you are, then you just lost the argument
jeg5gom- your comment describes exactly what Trump does at all his rallies. And why he started calling all the Media (except Fox News) the enemy of the people.
@jeg5gom: It's called a C O M M E R C I A L. That is was businesses do to gain customers. do I have to explain more to you?
When you are so obviously fake news nobody believes you anymore so you make a 5 million dollar commercial pretending you care about truth.
I love the comments here. Its good to see that there arent as many sheeple as I'd imagined. Journalism has an agenda. When there's an agenda, it can't be real news.
M S you know who else has an agenda? Donald Trump. He has an interest in attacking the media and sowing doubt among conservative people inclined to disbelieve facts. The media isn’t perfect, but it reveals facts about Trump. And those facts are at odds with the cult of personality he has built up and the Republican Party believes 100%.
That being said, I think this ad was dumb. Bezos should’ve spent his money on the Washington post instead of some self aggrandizing ad.
charlie1 This ad *is* about The Washington Post, isn’t it?
But what if..... The people that automatically disagree ARE THE SHEEPLE?!?!!
@Derek Fisher correct. Anyone paying attention was calling them out years before they started on Trump.
Trump is just a deflection for them.

"Knowing keeps us free" hell yeah it does
Lol. 4d?
@chris mclaughlin knowing you believe makes you a god
@chris mclaughlin
How can you be enslaved if you believe?
Slaves dont believe. They were made to believe. That they shoukd not be free.
"The truth shall set you free"
Knowing the truth keeps us free. Big diff.
Failed propaganda.
Talk about a propaganda advertisement.
they maybe you should stop lying.
“Hello, I’m Tom Hanks. The U.S. Media has lost their credibility so they’re borrowing some of mine.”
⚠️ ENEMY of THE PEOPLE ⚠️
Isn’t this the same news source being sued for libel?
Just here to down vote
Im glad to see the media empire start to crumble
It might be the only thing of value Trump helped get done, but it's something precious I can't deny.
@@dougmasters3743 it's one of many.
The likes are so high yet 95% of comments are calling out your lies??? Bias I think so.
This was $20,000,000.00 worth of propaganda. LMFAO. It takes real special idiots to buy that. From Amazon of all places loooool.
Which bunghole did you create that number out of? You talk about propaganda, but here you are fabricating it. Ironic.
Elias Martell they aired this several times during the super bowl. I believe A Sparrow is trying to point out the cost of running such An ad during the bowl.
Elias Martell shut up wp
@@josephbenson6957 Each ad sold ad space for $5-5.3 million each. I know because I sold some of them
@@Cory989 triggered much because you like to bury your head in the sand and I keep pulling your hair up to see reality?
I think this commercial was better suited for Comedy Central.
Propaganda cranked up to a 10, Hollywood x Jeff bezos
Knowledge is power is propaganda?
“Gather the facts”....”give you the story”.....hmmmm. A story huh? Shouldn’t you be gathering the facts then give us the facts rather than a story? Gathering the facts so you can embellish a story that might work to fool a sleeping public ...but not the actual truth. Clever wording there.
“Knowing keeps us free”. You mean keeps us as in the msm...free from jail time? Again clever wording.
Awesome definition of HYPOCRISY...
'Don't restrict our leftist idealism while we suppress opposing facts'
There's no such thing as "opposing facts", that's just another word for lies. I could state the "opposing fact" that Hillary Clinton won the 2016 election, but that doesn't make it true.
Good thing we don’t live in a democracy than but we live in a constitutional republic
The Post's motto, "Democracy Dies in Darkness" -- This used to be a warning. Now it's a promise.
lets hoppe so north america is a land of republic it NEVER was a democracy country.. thats what china is...lmfao
The only ones who ruined your reputations are yourselves.
When you run out of toilet paper!
Hi I’m Tom Hanks, the American media had lost their credibility so they’re borrowing some of mine.
Vod- so when you say the "American media", you're also including Fox News in that collective group, correct?
A C M idk who the writers of the Simpsons were referring to when they wrote that but given their history of making fun of Fox it’s most likely, but then again it’s a joke not a dick don’t take it so hard kid
Any man who must say,
"I am the king" is no true king.

“The US media has lost their credibility so they’re borrowing some of mine” - Tom Hanks in the simpsons movie 😂😂😂
Tom Hanks actually said "the US government", not "US media".
Journalists getting laid off left and right then they pay for a 5 million dollar ad. Weird flex but ok.
The comments suggest your like/dislikes are manipulated, how could that happen? 🤔
Actually, alt-right lunatics have a penchant for polluting comment sections. That's why the whole "silent majority" statement has always made me, and everyone else with even a glimmer of sanity, laugh. I'd normally say that your denial of reality was cute, but it seems as though it has been weaponized, which is less cute and more...disturbing. The Washington Post is a reliable source. Your citrus colored glob of racism, failed elitism, and nepotism is...not.
The nazis loved propaganda like this.
Korey Oh, Nazi propaganda couldn’t be further from the news articles (and this ad) by The Washington Post. Hitler and the nazis couldn’t have cared less about the death of democracy.
No need to invoke a fascist dictatorship from the 1940s. The collective atrocities of Israel, the US and Great Britain have surpassed it at this point.
That's the left for you. Evil beyond belief
@Korey
State sponsored media? Oh you mean Fox News.....gotcha..
@@education8759 HA HA Faux News amirite dese foolz don evn unnerstan dey iz played HA HA gud think weza moa cleva dan diz HA HA. CNN - luk ta win. MSNBC - lyin´-free. WaPo - not a lyin hoe. U gotz it, bro. U da bezt.
Yep and the REPUBLIC RISES AGAIN. HOORAY
Why did you use the Oklahoma city bombing and not 9/11?
Yeah, whats up with that?
The current supposed like to dislike ratio is 12,000 to 9100, yet I've scrolled through hundreds of comments and have not found a single one that praises the Washington Post.
I saw 4 or 5 but the responses are amazing to those
"Someone to gather the facts"
And they show Anderson cooper from cnn.....
Present the facts in a truthful unbiased manner and I listen. No outlet does this now and hasn't for a long time.
Used to be the local news here in my state was pretty unbiased but lately even they have began to lean and add more opinion than fact. It's scary.
Fox News does XD
So much hate in the comments, how wonderful
That is not hate. There is some, but mostly is just honesty.
Qing Ji If "hate" means FACTS, then yes.
Qing Ji
They got the hate the old fashioned way...... "They *EARNED* it"
We KNOW you lie to us.
Stop lying already.
My grandmother gave me this advice regarding advertisements: what if the opposite were true?
Pretty strange that you guys feel the need to spend big money advertising this. Could it be that people are starting to realize that a second-rate rag owned by one of the richest people on the planet isn't exactly the height of legitimate journalism?
Democracy dies when the media of any nation takes a side. It does not matter what that side is, a neutral media is both a check and a necessary tool of total power.
F A K E N E W S
This paper is a joke,everyone I know thinks of you equal to National Enquire.
You don't know me. I happen to think the National Enquirer is more creditable at this point.
You don't know me. I happen to think the National Enquirer is more creditable at this point.
@ZackoDaFracko very true
Did Wa post used to be reputable news source?
No.
Tom Hanks, I haven't paid for one of your films in years, and I certainly never will again. Shouldn't you be out taking pictures of lost children's shoes on the streets of NYC?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Let's spend millions so we can fool people into believing us.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Our credibility is dead so we got Tom Hanks to vouch for us!
This is rich coming from you guys
Seems like an awful lot of money to promote a bird cage liner on National TV.
I don't want the knowing of "man" or of this "world" .. but the all knowing wisdom & knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.. the truth will set you free..
Is there such thing as an unbiased news publisher?
No.
However the honest ones let you know their bias, the dishonest ones claim objectivity.
Learning to Crash Nice way to put it
@@giovannidelarosa6184 thank you. Anyone who claims they have no bias is lying, IMO.
@@learningtocrash4030 Which is the best way to inform oneself, to read opposing views and to analyze and compare as best as one is able to.
The truth sets you free, & that truth does not come from the MSM!
Where does "the truth" come from, then, you're ignorant brain dead President? The guy who contradicts himself mid-sentence on a daily basis? Either you are infinitely ignorant or you are a Russian troll.
actually, it does.
@@sillygoose635 no, it still doesn't.
Mainstream media is dying. Learn to code.
But we dont live in a Democracy we live in a Republic, its literally in the pledge
If knowing is important why do you lie so often?
remember when you guys said planking was racist?
Hilariously, teeth-grindingly awful. The idea that a paper owned by the World's richest person could ever be honest isn't worth a moment's consideration.
Lmao they used a clip that was proven to be fake at 0:33
You guys really don’t do you research.
So when are you turning the lights out on us
I believe all authoritative news sources that I've been told to believe. Orange man bad!
First amendment of the Constitution:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Think about that before you drop your angry comments.
They have the freedom of press to tell lies, we have the freedom of speech to tell them were to stick their bullshit.
UHF MGTOW So, where is the lie, what’s the truth, and can you prove it?
How long before you turn off the comments and reset the like to dislike ratio?
cia post
"Yay Politics!" - Said no-one ever.
"Someone to gather the facts" ....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA.....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....wait, you were serious????.......HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
When you attack innocent people karma will get you back
Have fun with that $250,000,000 lawsuit for libeling that Covington High School kid. I hope wins all that an more.
You guys don't tell the truth , you tell the story they want us to hear.
To quote ROS “So this is how democracy dies? With a thunderous round of applause”. Most underrated quote
This actually shows up when you search for that quote 😂
Propaganda paper
If knowledge and accurate information is essential to a functioning democracy then WaPo should permanently shut down.
Didn’t you harass a teenager last week?
They forget to add "When the leftists are triggered..."
'Member Covington High School? I remember.
Knowing keeps us free- yes it does! Free from your propaganda machine
snakes have more morality...what liars
Leon Hutchings Don’t insult snakes like that.
"When high ranking concentration camp administrators are momentarily inconvenienced at dinner, there's someone to pen dozens of scolding editorials while children die."
And if you are triggered by "learn to code", I hear that Walmart is hiring.
Knowing what they want us to know empowers them.
Groebles, 1938
Not much love in the comment section. LOL
Wow what a bunch of BS. Haha!
Washington post, lol.
What’s wrong WaPo?
Nobody reading past those online freebies anymore?
Here’s a thought: Practice what you preach.
Garbage journalism from Washington Post...
F.O.
I agree. That's why I don't pay attention to The Washington Post.
I saw this movie called ReAnimator AND HAD an idea about Kashoggi that I think Jeff CIA BEZOS might want to think about
So this is how democracy dies: with thunderous applause
*liberty
What applause?
