RE: Alex Jones and my thoughts from over the years. More of the triangulation approach to news. Streisand Effect.
By the way... this image from your first video...
That is similar to the young turks "False Dichotomy". Implying that you either get it or you are a moron tries to force choices into either or. There are often other choices than that. They may meet those criteria and draw different conclusions. They may agree with you on some points or not others.
False Dichotomies are a pretty common appeal to emotion technique to try to get the person to agree with you as they don't want to be considered a "fool".
Yet people that recognize these things have a different reaction. It appears as a big red flag. "Uh oh this person is trying to force me to agree with them so I won't be considered a fool" Trying to be part of the herd, the in crowd.
I'm one of those that sees this as big red flag. I only share this because you made this video so at least by telling you about my PERCEPTIONS of this tactic it is something you might consider in future videos. Now most of the population doesn't know shit about critical thinking. This stuff works great on them. However, that changes a piece from being journalism and simply presenting information to being propaganda.
Part of my personal mission is to get more people aware of such things. So I hope you see this as POSITIVE criticism for your future efforts.
If money is your primary motive then keep it up. It seems to serve the young turks well.
If reason, rationality, and good journalism are your goal then this might be something to avoid in the future...
I'm off to continue watching...
@dwinblood Thank you for the well interpreted pointer and I wish to inform you I have also created videos on the Young Turks hypocrisy and ridiculous (bullshit) ridicule of Trump
Awesome. And while I may seem harsh. I am being honest. I respect your work. I figure if I give you my criticisms that can only make any future works you do that much better.
So don't take it as me attacking you. I do not mean it that way. I appreciate the time that you give me A LOT to digest.
I've explained in my last reply to your reply WHY I give you a running commentary as I watch. It is the only way I know to insure I don't miss a thought, or miss where the thought was at and what it was about.
That doesn't mean I might not change my mind by the end. So you basically are getting a play by play of my thoughts as I watch.
