RE: KIRAC - Keeping It Real Art Critics - one of the things I love about the Netherlands

in #keeping6 years ago

Hi!

Your response raises this question to me: "Do points of view always have to be presented in a balanced way?" And which balance should it reflect? An interesting example where this isn't the case, is the climate 'debate' in the US. Tv-shows have long presented one climate change sceptic, opposed to one climate change scientist.

But I agree on your point of view. These guys, also in their other videos, use this approach very often. If feels to me a little bit like watching Joffrey Lannister suffocate. I know it's wrong, but still I thoroughly enjoy it.

And let's face it: in real life, the power is entirely on the side of those guys they're taking down here. Those who defend the system.

Finally, in my view, they completely admit all of this in the final sentence of the video.

But they do deny that this is not about their YouTube views, even if they've clearly jumped on a hot topic here. I would appreciate it if they'd just admit that as well.

And was the framing of the lady as a Netflix watcher necessary? I don't think so. But I don't think that they assume somebody will take that very seriously.
