holy crap amazing. Why doesn't news editorialize like this anymore like this reporter did at the end? Simple, obvious, and stated fairly. You don't always need to talk to the guy who thought the whale hailstorm was still a good idea.
- harshreality 6y agoOld school journalism? That kind of reporting takes too long — two minutes until the event is shown — to lay out the facts in a responsible way... giving everyone a clear idea of the initial problem, the proposed solution, and what the proposed solution was supposed to accomplish. Aside from taking too long, it fails to manipulate the audience by giving them a prepackaged take that aligns with the viewers' preconcieved bias, enrages the opposition, and generates audience affinity with the news outlet. Where's the profit in that?

- refulgentis 6y agoI'm a little confused by this take: editorializing doesn't happen anymore, which is sad. It doesn't happen anymore because editorializing occurs, which is good, because editorializing is bad?
- setr 6y agoThe goal of news media is not to provide a useful information stream, but to gather repeat views (follow the money). The news barons of the past foolishly conflated the two, or at least assumed the first was optimal at producing the second. Today, we’ve learned better — there are far more effective strategies available, largely by exploiting our natural search for drama. That is, the reporting was good at its goal of good reporting; but this was not the correct goal to have.
