She was trying to do a fluff piece interview, and he was trying to drop hard facts. I’m glad he didn’t back down on his points.
Haven’t watched it but sounds like someone with strong convictions and an idea why things are the way they are. Hopefully eventually enough people recognize the fact that we need a functional society that allows the random person to feel comfortable. Cause if you get enough itchy people things get scratched.
Haven’t watched it
It’s a 30 second clip mate
Pretty much I don’t care for random audio, I prefer text articles or comments to get the jist of things. I actually hate noise unless it’s for entertainment or another person (well sometimes I don’t care for that but polite society and all).
A 30 second video would be a nice short article.
30 seconds of sound when you’re pooping on the toilet at work, is 30 seconds too much sound. Hypothetically speaking.
I’ve been next to lads in the stalls where they’re dropping bombs and on the phone on the same time. No shame. Barely stopped to grunt. Truly Gods among men.
You sit idly pooping while so much of the housing stock in the US is owned by hedge funds?

Can’t let people say the truth, it would inconvenience your masters.
The news reporter wanted a feel good puff piece regardless of how inappropriate it is. The interviewee wanted to report the actual news.
The company that owns that NBC affiliate wanted a feel good puff piece. I doubt she had a say in the matter.
Yeah, she’s just following orders.
We all know how good “just following orders” and “just doing my job” turns out.
But it wasn’t inappropriate…
To the holding company it is.
hoarding company*
🤌🏼
A misunderstanding on your part I thinks. I believe they are saying it was inappropriate to attempt to sanitize reality so they could release a “feel good puff piece”.
Was it live? Probably not. That means they left it in on purpose.
Did you watch the clip?
Yes. But if they aired it, they aired it on purpose. Clips like that are rarely actually live. So they made a show of not continuing to give him airtime, but they gave him enough to get his message out - twice.
It’s says “Live” in the upper left hand corner.
They often lie about that. It’s usually pseudo live, as in, recorded just a short while before.
It really makes you wonder how these reporters are trained. What else can they not talk about on air?
Anything that goes against the values of Sinclair or NexStar would be off the table.
So general common sense like fuck ICE and free Palestine?
Pretty much everything that isn’t on their script, IIRC.
Crazy how fast she pulled back on that. Like she has been trained to not allow that sort of talk. It was almost instant.

To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.
I knew it was the kids with cancer all along!
Damn, Adolf. Is your name a unit of measurement for bad-but-good jokes. That one gets ya right in the Schmitler, ya know?
Yeah! Those little brats have had it too easy for too long!
Well not that long EACH, but you know 🤷
Didn’t a literal Nazi coin that phrase while talking about jews?
Hey, just because the wrong guy spoke it first, doesn’t make it wrong in itself.
She pulled back the microphone mid sentence when he refused to let the conversation get derailed.
Very sus
lol I love that guy, he definitely like “oh ya, it’s my time, I’m over this shit, but I’ll be polite about it”
she smiles like the woman from ba sing se,
the back in the 90s part screams body language of desperation to signal to him to play along and say what she wants him to say.
She knows exactly what she is doing. She probably wouldn’t even get into any trouble if she had let the guy go on for a bit since it is just a random, live interview. Doesn’t matter, though, as boot-fellating, spittle-licking toadies will instantly and hungrily provide cover for the owner class. There will always be a critical mass of just about every demographic (even those you would not expect it from) who will be willing to sell out for that payday. If she doesn’t try to silence or steamroll any even remotely anti-greed rhetoric she might be passed over for that next promotion.
Shout out to Washington Heights. I used to live at Fort Washington and 181st. I miss it.
If the fediverse can focus on integrating content from from other fediverse sources extremely organically, the fediverse will win. I shouldn’t have to leave Lemmy to watch this video.
You need to leave? I could just watch it on the timeline. Using jerboa, I guess it depends on client.
Ok web, its embedded. On mobile, I have to hop out.
Woah, I’ve been on Eternity for quite a while and have heard about Jerboa a bunch in comments! Finally downloaded it based on this comment and sure enough, this video was the first thing in my feed and it even auto played silently on the thumbnail! (Turning that off immediately though lol)
Thanks for the recommend!! ❤️
It’s embedded for me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Time for a new client, it sounds like 🖖🏼🤓
On voyager, I have to go out of client.
Woah weird, I just watched it by clicking on it in voyager. Maybe something with the instance I’m logged in to?
(Ok, voyager opens the loop link in an embedded browser window,)
yeah thats what I’m talking about.
Ok, it sounded like you needed to manually open it outside. I agree it’s not perfect and can be improved , but it still works without needing to click too often.
Voyager sounds pretty rough, try Jerboa instead, that’s the good one.
Are there some federated video sites? Most of the video results in duckduckgo are hosted by the tech giants, would be cool if there was some alternatives
PeerTube is the biggest player for fediverse video as far as I know. There is also Loops, which is where this video is hosted.
Huh? I watched it in the app (Jerboa) and it was no problem, I downloaded it too, and sync’d to my immich server, of course 🤓
They better never interview me on live TV. Ill be asking the reporter where they will be hiding when the revolution comes.
Don’t worry, they’d make sure that clip of you’d never make it to air. 🫡
I wonder what New York would have been if Henry George had become mayor back then
Basically trying to nostalgia bait people but buddy saw right through it and went in for the kill.
As unhinged as social media gets, this is pretty much why so many end up trusting it over traditional media. The internet broke the veil of commercial reporting/journalism - media in general. Broke the trust on accepting public personas and not being suspicious of them behind the scenes. Sell out reporters/journalist/artists/etc are like scabs to labor strikers
Legend. Came back to his point with a friendly smile, and plenty of grace
With a climate change kicker thrown in
