Most of AGNB is great, but I wish the protest videos at least included resources from local jouranlists alongside it for context. Especially the Minneapolis and Portland protest ones recently put up — they showed a narrow slice of what was happening to drive home some really salient points, but if you watch them and think "THAT'S what's it's like in there", it's off base by quite a bit compared to the less entertaining local journalists (or even just streamers with a camera on a pole) who've been out there livestreaming, interviewing, and documenting for months instead of weeks or days. Context is important; I can't speak for Minneapolis, but the Portland protests weren't just (and aren't just, and for most of the nearly 70 straight days of them haven't ever been) about the federal courthouse or the federal officers. The BLM-led Justice Center protests weren't the chaotic courthouse protests, and the 2-3k who came out for a week of feds has been less than 500 for most of the other 2 months and change. The west-side downtown protests in a 4-block zone around the center and courthouse aren't the east-side precinct and police union HQ marches with local police chasing protesters and beating media into residential neighborhoods. Or maybe I'm still just pissed about AGNB showing mayor Ted Wheeler in a sympathetic context, complete with his theatric tear gassing the one time he came out to a protest, without the other context of how the PPB he runs as police commissioner beats and gasses media and protesters as soon as cameras like AGNB's left the fed protest stage - literally, PPB went out threatening to gas the same crowd he stood with within 45 minutes of Wheeler leaving the protest. I guess my feeling is, some things aren't simple or clear enough to be accurately served by pithy but entertaining 5- or 10-minute videos. It's one lens, and a good one, but I get real nervous when people say AGNB is the model for news.
