American "left" is, sadly, centrist moderate everywhere else in the world. I think if actual Lefty politics appeared in the US the Ben Shapiros of the world would have a heart attack.
I literally can't stop thinking about the argument "its actually okay that he lies so much because he has a reputation for being a huge lying liar" im losing my mind
This 'justification' can only work in the USA. Attempting to use it anywhere else, including in 3rd world countries, will cause one to be laughed out of the room.
I think the main reason was Carlson is what keeps Fox News afloat. If Tucker gets cancelled they lose a large swath of their viewership. Which really tells you something about Rupert's Enterprise. That Fox News is one of his most prized assets and yet its struggling because their viewership isn't really growing much.
Under US laws, you can call yourself news even while lying about Sauron and Shelob; the government can't tell you what to publish or how to label it. What it is actually about is slander: a defense against slander is that if your statements were so outrageous no reasonable person would believe you were being factual. Fox has gotten sued for defamation and successfully defended itself that nobody believes they tell the truth.
Well actually they were bred by the Toltecs and Aztecs, and even ran wild for hundreds of years until westerners began capturing them in the 1800s. So they’re much closer to wild than any other dog breed we currently have today.
Andrew Niel: has personally caused right-wing talking heads to meltdown simply by calmly applying reality to their views Also Andrew Neil: becomes that exact kind of right wing talking head
Andrew Neil always was. He only appeared slightly different on BBC because of BBC rules on impartiality. Back in the day Neil was a hard right nutjob at the Sunday Times, Spectator and, people often forget, on Fox News
@@mtlewis973 his values may always have been repugnant but the standard of his debate and arguments used to be a lot higher than the shite he purveyed on GBeebies. The launch of the channel would never have succeeded at all without the reputational clout he carried with him. As bad as its ratings and technical issues were, I bet Neil increased their ratings tenfold.
It's odd that everyone who used to complain about political correctness now use the word woke to define their own version of political correctness and as an excuse to cancel things while still complaining about cancel culture. I don't know why they get upset when people call them erratic.

Fun fact: Fox News had to change their name to include “entertainment” bc if they kept lying and calling themselves a news channel they would be sued into the ground! 🙃
they are still being sued maybe into the ground - those voting machine lawsuits are going to hurt - Faux makes a lot of $ and the Murdochs have a lot of money - but those are a serious threat to them- they cant do the Sackler shuffle - and keep running Faux - while being broke by the time the lawsuits are settled . I know it couldnt happen to better people . And Rupert is not going to be around long - in case you havent noticed- there have been an awful lot of very awful people dying - Hell is got to be getting awfully crowded - and no doubt Rupert is going to want a good seat - I hope Trump is sitting on his lap for eternity
Then CNN, MSNBC, ABC, and NBC need to change their names from “news” because they lie a HELL of a lot more than fox does. More likely it’s because Fox News has plenty of OPINION PEICES where it’s BLATANTLY STATED that it’s their opinions or political comedy like gutfeild. The other “news” networks lie much more than fox but they don’t claim to have entertainment value (which is why no one watches them)
Debaditya, he is correct in the sense that all of them lie and spin news stories laced with more opinion and propaganda than news. All of them are bad.
@al ce, who is not? All i said is that ALL of the new channels lie and spin stories. You cant trust any of them for accurate news.

I'm a US/UK dual citizen. I've had a lot of exposure to both TV news cultures The US's profit-driven structure is absolutely harmful. It uses divisiveness to garner viewers and money In college I once heard an English student criticize the BBC for being government-funded, making it too biased I wasn't in her conversation but I wanted to ask her what on Earth the other option was? Because the BBC is the epitome of sanity in comparison with most national US news (we do have some good local news though, and I've seen good news on PBS, which is publicly funded)
The BBC is license fee funded.. Chanel 4 is not profit and channel 3 and 5 are for profit. We do have more than just these 5 channels since moving to digital. But those are the 5 terrestrial channels.
It still amazes me that Andrew Neil, a man whose literally had a front row seat in just how well US-style culture war rhetoric goes down in the UK would then voluntarily go and join a foray into doing it on a full scale here.. What a bellend. Excellent video BTW, this is my first Münecat experience and I can't wait to see what is next!

Yesterday, I reminded someone that this amazing lady had got to 202 000 subs on the back of just 15 superb videos ... (it takes her roughly 3 months to make a video) Today, she's on 203 000! 😄
I know it's more complicated than this, but I basically took away, "GB news failed because they can't lie as blatantly as Fox does." Great video as always.
Unfortunately that will probably change - they'll build up more of a stable of tame guests who won't call them out live on air, they'll finesse their approach to stay just within the lines rather than outside them. And if that doesn't work, they'll get the Tories to screw up BBC News 24 t remove them as competition, and then it won't matter. That last part is definitely going to happen, btw.
I didn't even make it a full minute into the video before I was convinced of three things. 1.) All GB News succeeded in doing was giving Monty Python's Flying Circus and the Benny Hill Show combined a run for their Collective money. 2.) Andrew Neil must've been humiliated when he bailed on the network he founded in order to beg the BBC for his old job back. 3.)Subscription to this channel is worthwhile.
@@UCannotDefeatMyShmeat He got a programme with Channel 4, the BBC were too sensible. Channel 4 are being attacked by Tories for being too lefty and weird and are supported by taxes so they went for some "balance".
I mean it's channel 535 on Sky as I just found out. Nobody has heard of it and the channel is buried. I was a fan of Andrew Neil but just assumed he retired when he quit BBC news. The media didn't talk about it at all, so barely anyone even knew it existed
The first time I heard of them was when I saw a poster with Farage's fugly mug plastered on it on the side of a highway. Which is really emblematic of this shitshow, in a weird, indescribable way.
It's so weird how much of the right-wing's rhetoric is based on projection, grievance and victimhood. The fact that Andrew Neil did give give Ben Shapiro complete worship over his brilliance and snappy "logic" prompted Shapiro to conclude that Neil can only be a liberal and all of his questions can only be gotcha questions.
I wonder if Andrew Neil laughed at Ben Shapiro's review of the Barbie movie (which was more like a giant temper tantrum) wherein he set a garbage can full of Barbie toys on fire.

I’m currently pursuing a masters of mathematics and I remember in high school being reprimanded for using original (and perfectly correct) ways of solving problems. Of course my teacher just thought I was bad at maths instead of recognizing I had a unique instinct for it. Pretty sure she wouldn’t have been so quick to judge if I hadn’t been a girl and "supposed" to be bad at math 🙄
Similar story. My high school math teacher even made fun of me in front of the whole class. Called me Retarded. I even believed it.. I finished my undergrad math degree with high honors in 3 years and then got 2 PhDs… 🙄
Just because you arrive at the same answer for a particular problem doesn't mean it repeatable. That's the problem. Mathematics is taught to give you a basis to learn further mathematics that are more advanced. If you don't comprehend the previous lessons they can't build upon them. If I write 30-9 as my original way of solving 3x7, it's gonna be real rough for me even though the answer is 'correct'.
The hilarious thing about the getting angry at the suggestion there's not "one right answer" in maths is that literally any mathematician would laugh you out of the room. Throughout my whole degree (pure mathematics) there were constantly problems with no, two, five or sometimes infinite solutions. My final dissertation was around Group Theory, and part of this involves abstracting everything to the very fundamental blocks, you can't even assume that x * y = y * x without a proper proof based on the axioms you start with. The reason he chooses 2 + 2 = 4 is because arithmetic is one of the only situations you may actually have 1 single solution, and even that is debatable (see those badly written 6 + 6 ÷ 6 problems that go viral all the time but I'm not going off on those again). It's so laughable when people who stopped their maths education at 16 try and act like maths is this beacon of objectivity and "one problem one answer" mentality. If you ever go above that level you'll see that maths is fucking weird and defies it's own conventions all the time depending on the branch you are working with.
That’s why you’re taught BODMAS or if your from the US PEDMAS or PEMDAS i believe and to work from left to right since multiplication and division and addition/subtraction are to evaluated at the same precedence.
Add math to the list of things conservatives think they understand but actively fail to understand beyond a third-grade level, along with biology, logic, history, religion, economics, etc
@@murph8411It’s arbitrary and just a subjective choice on how to answer the question. The question is written poorly and ambiguously would always be the correct answer to that question.
Yeah as someone doing a maths degree it’s frequently quite annoying how little the general public knows about maths but think they know everything as they did well in GCSE. The classic secondary school argument is, what’s more important communication of ideas or the correct answer? Which for anyone with any decent education in maths knows that if you can’t communicate it you may as well not do it. That’s even if there is one unambiguous answer. Or in the case of proof, the answer is normally given and the whole point is to try and show it’s true.
One example of how math can be done differently is that when I was in algebra, I could not get my head around doing the whole "subtract this number from both sides" way of figuring out answers. Instead, I liked to think of it as moving numbers around. I got the correct answers just as often, or usually even more often, as my peers and I was essentially doing the same process of problem solving, but just with a different method. Still I got counted off for "not showing my work", which made no sense to me because the whole purpose of doing that was to make sure I wasn't just cheating the answers off other people and I was doing my work in such a way that anyone copying off me could be easily spotted. And approaching math as a more open-ended process is something that is designed to help neurodivergent students, not any particular ethnic group (except those who can get diagnoses, which is an entirely different issue)
There's good reasons for promoting the "subtract from both sides" thing though, and that's because it's fundamentally linked the basic justification of why you're allowed to do it; if x = y, then any change you make identically to change the values of both sides must also yield equal values. Moving things about works great, up until it doesn't work because there's seemingly arbitrary exceptions to the rules because the rules were never about moving symbols from one side of an equal sign to the other.
Agreed with James Nomos above. I used to be a maths teacher and the 'moving numbers around' approach is a heuristic that works for a time, but can introduce many misconceptions. Instead, teaching inverse operations and balancing equalities is harder in the short term, but this gives a much more solid understanding and appreciation of what’s actually going on. Further, the same concepts also link with many other areas of maths besides solving equations, for example ratios. Consider how the concept of moving numbers around falls apart when dealing with indices or logarithms, but inverse operations holds true. I had many students get frustrated as you have since they spotted an 'easier' method. I tried to convince them that I was teaching to UNDERSTAND maths, not PERFORM maths. It’s not about getting the right answer, it’s about grasping the underlying concepts. I’d go as far as to argue that the example you gave is not 'doing maths differently', it’s actually not doing maths at all; you are not understanding and applying the underlying mathematical concepts.
^equating “doing algebraic manipulation in an easier to grasp way” to “not doing maths at all” is a fucking insane take so i would like to chip in as someone taking maths for university -(and as someone with a -_-massive-_- special interest in mathematics)- if you understand the principles of what you’re doing (
@@rskeen500I feel that's a lot to infer based solely on them expressing a frustration. Identifying a true property and applying it when it is useful is a good use of mathematical skill. So long as you can explain why that property is true. Saying you're only allowed to do maths in single steps without telling them what steps they're allowed to take I'd say will just frustrate the sudents moreso than let them know what they're doing. a = b 0 = b - a is as valid a property to apply as a = b a - a = b - a, what matters is that, like at higher levels of mathematics, you know what rules you're playing with. If a student has identified that a = b 0 = b - a then they're just applying two rules in one step rather than one. Without knowing anything about the construction of the real numbers, of course they're not going to show the steps where they applied the property of the additive inverse and the property of the additive identity. They know those facts are true, and without being told anything about group theory or fields of course they're not going to think they're important enough to spend more time writing. It was always one of the things that frustrated me most in secondary, that these rules for what needs to be shown were so nebulous and unexplained, with only certain "shortcuts" being permitted.
@@thatoneguy9582Entirely agreed, if a student discovers a shortcut, that's them demonstrating a deeper understanding of what makes mathematics work, not at all a lack of understanding. What matters most is that as a teacher you can help that student verify that their intuition works. Because when someone says "move the number from the left to the right" that's an opportunity to help them put a name to their intuition, by telling them they're applying "a = b 0 = b - a"

The maths thing reminded me a little of being told to show all working out for gsce exams to get maximum points. With people reporting it as doesn't matter what answer you put, just show some method and you'll get fullmarks. Basically if made a small error in one stage and ended up with the wrong answer, the markers could follow the working out and you could gets marks for the method, just not full marks.
This is similiar to how I was taught maths in my secondary school too. But you add one detail... there was only one method to solve a problem. I'm saying that there was only one way to do any math problem but that we were told that we must use a specific fomula to do specific math equations. This was before formula books were given to students, about a year or so lol. This meant that we needed to memorize them, this was frustating to me as the formula were hard to grasp. Its odd to describe but the best phrasing would be that it went against how my mind thought of numbers. So I basically ignored my teachers requests to use the standard formula and created my own, ones that made more sense to my mind but were correct 100% of the time. No joke there, not saying they were better just that they always got to the correct answer. I eventually discovered why specific formula was supposed to be used. . Because it made their lifes easier. Because if the correct formula is used, regardless to the answer being correct then that meant they didn't need to think about the method used. They can go "Huh, they must of made a little mistake." while with mine it created a problem of needing to work out how my formula was suppsoed to work even when I got the right answer. TO be fair, teachers tend to be over worked but I don't like the methodalogy that i needed to suffer diffcult and counterproductive teaching methods just because it's easier for the people who are meant to ensure that I understand math, not just get the correct anwser.
I absolutely hated having to show my working. They always expected this fully detailed step by step process for even the most simple of problems. Frustrated me to no end when the teacher would tell me I'm losing marks by just writing the answer for a basic multiplication, or if I worked it out in a shorter/different way.
@@thecameronator that's definitely a primary/elementary school thing, further up in maths you can skip plenty of small things but even then it's a good idea to show most of your workings just so you don't get confused. Especially with the more complex stuff
Coming back to this a year later with GB News having settled in and found an audience in the low millions, I think it's time that people reckon with GB News and get serious about the danger.
I wouldn't say there's anything dangerous about it, to be honest. It's a channel that caters to the centre-right, just as there are others which cater to the centre-left. There is a very small, albeit very loud, proportion of extremism on both sides of the political scale, but for the most part the vast majority of people in the UK are very much centrist.
The 'danger' would be if it didn't exist! You people make me laugh - you're so incredibly ignorant. Politics runs on a pendulum, but you can be sure that if there is a vacuum, it will get filled. Haven't you read any history at all??? The danger of crushing either the far left or the far right is that something will come along to fill the void - something you definitely don't want! Read history, young man. The fact is that GB News isn't right-wing enough...which is why something is waiting in the wings to replace it, but people like you are so ignorant of how politics works. I sometimes think that young people like you haven't taken in anything at all about history. How and why did WW2 start? I'll leave you with that task - to read exactly what was happening in post-WW1 Germany - the 1920s and 30s. Come back in a few months' time when you've absorbed and grown (in mind).
Turns out we in Europe like our news presented by news anchors, not our racist uncle after one too many drinks. Who knew? Seriously, trying to watch American news - not just Fox, although they're definitely the worst offender - has always been a somewhat otherworldly experience. Our news programs have their biases and can be far from objective, but they're never as loud, obnoxious and in your face as tuning into any American 24/7 news program.
The thing about maths is quite interesting, because I used to do well in school and get the "right" answers, but often got criticised by teachers for the way I got there - I used the "wrong" method or I skipped a step here and there. It always used to irritate me, because while I can appreciate that the reason we are taught certain methods in school is that they are effective for a wide variety of problems and reduce the risk of silly errors, these methods do not always work for all people, regardless of intelligence or background. I was top of the class, but there were some methods that just did not click for me, so I had to find my own ways of doing things. Despite some criticism and red squiggly underlines, I wasn't usually marked down for this if I got the right answer, and because I still generally did very well, I still got a lot of praise from teachers, but I can imagine kids without that praise would feel very discouraged from trying different solutions in the future, even if they demonstrably work. By saying there is ONE right answer and ONE right way to do things, and just telling kids they're wrong without any explanation of how and why, you completely cut off any intellectual curiosity and turn school into a competition of "who is more right?" rather than a place of learning. A big part of learning is making mistakes, understanding those mistakes, and applying that understanding to future problems. I get that teachers are thoroughly underpaid and overworked, and often lack the time to properly examine and understand mistakes, but if we DID have an education system in which kids were guided through their mistakes, or were allowed to explore more unusual methods without immediate criticism, then we'd likely see far fewer kids deciding that they hate school and learning, and you'd have a much more intellectually curious and well-prepared adult population. Just saying "You did it wrong" doesn't help an 8 year old better understand their maths; it tells that 8 year old that they can't do maths, and if you do it enough times, they're just gonna give up because an adult keeps telling them they're bad at maths.

As a mathematician I’ve always suspected the reason people struggle with maths is the way it’s taught. They worry too much with memorisation and formulas. That’s just dull and uninspiring. Every kid loves solving puzzles and maths always seemed like the subject of logic and puzzles but few people grow up to enjoy it. But rather than memorisation if people had a solid grasp on the fundamentals then they’d be able to rely on creativity to solve problems. It’s far more fun. I think that’s what exams here in the U.K. are meant to test. I believe in parts of the world they have a lot of multiple choice questions but here in the U.K. we’re given blank space to work with and 80-90% of the marks are given for recognising steps and showing an understanding of how to get to an answer. I think a lot of people don’t recognise that and that’s why they struggle.
@@jaymercer4692My issue was that 100% of all my maths teachers were totally disinterested in helping the kids who were struggling with maths. Also that maths is completely fucking boring and is always taught in a way that doesnt show any real-life application.
@@Facerip Not all maths necessarily has a real life application but I do generally agree. I think it stems from underfunding. A teacher teaching 30 or so kids can't really spend the time trying to motivate kids who don't care. Some kids need a lot of work to get places and some do it themselves and with limited resources and you kinda have to abandon those two groups of kids and focus on the ones who just need a little push. I'm a mathematician now and was a fairly independent child so I was mostly ignored by teachers or had to work as a psuedo assistant. I got in a lot of trouble because I was just bored but I think it would have been great if I was with someone who could have nurtured me to grow a lot earlier. I was lucky enough that I stumbled into reasons to keep finding maths interesting but I can't imagine how many promising mathematicians were lost because they needed a bigger push at a younger age or more to keep them motivated like I did. I have a habit of completely not understanding that everyone thinks like me but I always thought every child likes problem solving, completing challenging tasks and learning. So it always shocked me to see how people grew up to hate maths, the subject of puzzles and creative problem solving. I think so few people really have an understanding of what maths actually is which is purely the fault of educational systems.
@@jaymercer4692I hate Calculus because how its taught (at least in my experience). They just give you some formulas and through memorization of steps somehow the initial formula becomes something else and thats it. Compare that to Physics, where i was taught what each variable on a formula meant, and the examples usually were real life scenarios i could imagine (calculate the speed of a car, acceleration, etc).
so the math thing (sorry i'm American) reminded me of a post i saw recently where a child failed their math test despite getting every answer correct because when the student showed their work, their work didn't line up with the exact way the teacher _wanted_ them to figure out the problems. _that_ is the main problem with the way math is taught (at least here in the US idk about other countries), and _that_ is what people are trying to change.

What riles me up about their point about mathematics is that anyone who knows anything about maths can tell you that whether you get the right answer at the end is literally the least important and interesting thing about maths. It's such a shallow take by the sort of people who understand maths only as a tool to do Bigger Additions. It's the sort of people who think that mathematical skill can be measured with multiple-choice tests. The student who can demonstrate to me that they understand the mathematical concepts and processes, and are able to form connections between them, but gets the wrong answer at the end is a better mathematician than the student who just tosses some numbers into a formula they don't understand and gets the correct answer.
Yup. That is why professors make you show your work, where the majority of the credit arises from. In my case, during my Associates' run, some exams were literally only 1 - 2 questions.
@@IdiotVermin Absolutely everything humans define, describe or explain is necessarily based upon one or more axioms; the trick is to keep them to a minimum. But 1+1=2 can be proven (see Whitehead & Russell's Principia Mathematica for the formal logic).
Also, remember that in some scenarios there are simply multiple ways to get a correct answer in math. Multiple methods to solve for an answer can give the same one, or one method can yield multiple results that are all correct.
@@IdiotVermin In the most standard system of math which is based on set theory (ZF + optionally C) under the hood that then gets translated into operations on naturals it's not actually one of the axioms. The question is kind of ill-formed though.
I have unironically tried to watch GB News a few times, not because I share their views, but because I genuinely wanted to understand what was the point of it is. What I learned was very very simple…..it’s that they desperately argue that the left’s virtue signalling is harmful, pathetic and small minded……by right wing virtue signalling so hard that they nearly have an embolism. I’d admit that I don’t sit on the right, and as such those talking points are not for me; but listening to a bunch of millionaires named in the Panama Papers yelling at me that I’m the problem couldn’t be more ironic if they broke their own toes on their own personal guillotine.
Well said. In the US it's similar, far right organizations are funded by billionares and multi millionaires who are basically just trying to make sure their power and influence never falters. For example a lot of the anti-global warming lies are directly linked to the same people making millions off of oil and coal, frankly it's disgusting
Perhaps more importantly, they didn't care that women's sports existed and still don't. It's just an anvil to them, they'll move on when something shiny comes and distracts them.
That whole "maths is racist now?!?" thing is old news too. Maggie Thatcher talked about the same thing at a conservative party conference, but this was about some thoughttank or something suggesting that names used in maths problems should be from a broader range of cultural origins.
It's indicative of right-wing media's desperate trawling through social media to find its daily "WOKE!" stories, though. Whatever it takes to groom their outraged audience into thinking themselves superior to 'dem dumb lefties.
I worked in the math department of a major U.S. textbook publisher for four years, and can confirm that we checked the names in the word problems for ethnic diversity, gender balance, and gender stereotypes. It was pretty cool. And it doesn’t harm the math one bit when you change Thomas to Tomás.
The way I learned maths, objectivity is good, why would it be bad? Also, what's the connection between it and open conflict? If anything, the program seems like a bad idea, because it can be extremely easily distorted. It's saying: subjective answers are valid and don't be afraid of open conflict... it's telling people, all views matter. They shouldn't. In practice this leads to conspiracists. They believe facts are relative or in "alternative facts" (objectivity is bad, so subjectivity is fine) and it's all a matter of opinion (you can believe vaccines have microchips in them... that's fine, your opinion is just as valid as a med school university professor, I remember seeing a video of a random Karen at a US school board meeting yelling at a medical professional to go back to school). And why not invade Congress because of the outrage you feel based on your subjective beliefs grounded in what some guys say on social media and forums and that made you fearful and angry (since open conflict is also fine)?
@@octavianpopescu4776 I took from it that problems, where there is not yet any mathematical proof yet discovered, should be talked about. And that discussions might be had about the competing potential answers to those as yet unsolved problems. That maths shouldn't be taught as just a list of dry formulas and proofs to learn that were already tied down by mostly old, dead, white men. But an active field where there are new discoveries to be made and things we may never be able to know, or maybe we will. A dynamic field with opportunity. Basically, it's how I've heard professional mathematicians and science communicators talk about mathematics. And very much not what I was taught in school.
@@WhichDoctor1 Ok, but what you're saying seems high level university maths... And the formulae, they're foundation on which the the house should rest. It seems difficult doing it properly before that (yes I learned the formulae version... memorise this and reproduce it).
It’s still valuable for people to advocate for companies to pull advertising from places like GB News if for nothing else but to allow consumers to feel like they aren’t indirectly funding that bullshit when they have to buy a shitty nightstand at IKEA.

Glad to see a response to this! I've been getting episodes of Benefits Britain popping up on my recommended and it's just such a disgusting example of trying to get people worked up over something that is rarely ever abused the way they show on TV
I was literally discussing last night how I always thought I was just bad at math but recently realized a lot of my hobbies include math and that I wasn’t actually bad at it I just had a really hard time memorizing formulas because I have ADHD. So I would consistently get answers on tests and homework correct but get half credit because when looking at the show your work part I wouldn’t do it the conventional way I was taught to get the answer. Which made me hate math for a long time since I could consistently repeat the process on multiple problems but it wasn’t the correct formula so it was... wrong? somehow. Anyway I guess I just wish I was taught math differently.
this exactly happened to me. I am now getting into cryptography. I actually remember loving math - but being broken by a teacher that hated life and made me feel less than a human for not being able to memorize formulas instantly. Im 30 and still am not able to learn that way.
Sounds like me I cannot do maths for shit anymore. I remember doing it in my head and writing it down and hearing "You are right but you need to show me how you worked it out" from my teacher. Used to drive me insane because I just thought "Well why does it matter I was right?" and I never managed to get "maths" me and numbers are not good friends. Its funny because algebra was hated by most but I actually liked that because it included letters!
@@TrashwareArt I had a teacher like that, I broke her... She said something like 'You need to show me how you got this answer' loud enough for the class to hear, I replied 'I have to write a 20 page essay for my english teacher, I don't have time to teach a 50 year old woman how to do basic algebra.' The class burst into laughter, I got sent to the principal's office, but she never once said anything about it again. Still deducted the points, but no more commentary.
Uh...so that song was a slow and steady decline into madness...and I love it. Also, I hate how the word "woke" has been weaponized and overused into a meaningless buzzword.

This is a good update on Murdoch in the last 3rd of this video, here in Aus, Murdoch is likely to be subject of a Royal Commission in the near future. Unlike in the UK, Murdoch owns over NINETY PERCENT of print media (which, in Australia, dictates the media discourse in TV and social media platforms), however the largest petition ever put forward to the Australian parliament/senate has led to an inquiry into concentration of media ownership, which, if it leads to an RC, will have international repercussions

Meanwhile in the US, they're mad at a talking M&M for having a different pair of shoes, and President Biden for petting a dog in Hawaii! I kid you not. I have to conclude, on the topic of "math is racist", that both extremes are wrong here. Yes, it is very helpful to focus on the methodology as the CA program suggests. In my math classes, almost 30 years ago before anything was "woke", I clearly remember getting some credit for doing the right math even if I got the wrong answer in the end, so I think that objective has long been accomplished to my satisfaction. It doesn't do anyone any good, however, to pretend that the wrong answer is somehow just as good to engender "creativity". Sometimes kids (and adults) are wrong. You can't learn if you aren't open to possibility that you are not always right. When you get older and you do an important job, there are usually consequences when you are wrong, and it doesn't particularly help if you feel okay about that. We shouldn't treat kids as if their answers had real stakes like that, of course. School is where you are supposed to get being wrong out of your system so you can be an effective adult. If we can't ever tell them they're wrong, they can't ever learn how to do it right. There's no reason to shame them or anything, just put a red X on it, explain how to do it correctly, and move on.

Being enthusiastic about mathematical didactics and being involved in both teaching and the construction of math books for the elementary school I am completely in love with the quote at 10;44 in this video! It is bang on the money. The arguably biggest hurdle to get student to become decent or good in mathematics is to first make them understand that mathematics is absolutely not about the answer in the first place. This problem seem to be especially big in countries that do a lot of multiple choice questions with little or no demand on the student showing HOW and WHAT the student did to come to the conclusions it did, even at ages up to 18 years old! It's crazy! The SAT in the USA is arguably one of the worst possible examples of this. The way those test are constructed it is actually barely a test in mathematics at its core but mostly instead about data extraction, pure algebra and eliminating obviously incorrect alternatives. Mathematics is arguably more in the realm of a philosophical subject on the art of problem solving and logically sort your thoughts and ideas and clearly communicating the ideas and solutions to others by using logic, pure text, illustrations and mathematical symbols. Skills that are extremely important to develop and nourish for a wide variety of reasons! Anyone that says things like "In mathematics you are either right or wrong" may actually never have engaged in actual mathematics but appear to confuse mathematics with only being the related subtopics of arithmetic and algebra. But also in a way that seems like they were never required to properly communicate their solution for some reason, but instead incentivized to memorize various recipes and "hacks" without any deeper understanding of the underlying concepts. This is why almost all of these short "educational" videos on Instagram and Tiktok is an absolute cancer for mathematics as they perpetuate those misconceptions to the absurd. Even as early as pre-teen age, students should gradually be required to properly communicate what their thought process was on the way to the answer and learn how to convince the reader (or listener) that their arguments holds. Those skills are actually even helpful for pure verbal argumentations even when mathematics are not apparently involved at all. The trend of trying to make most test electronic and self-corrected is a big hurdle in this regard and has absolutely not helped. The amount of things you need to just outright remember in mathematics is actually very limited compared to other subjects and recipes and "hacks" should be avoided at all costs unless you can be very sure that the required more basic concepts motivating why they work are present. Also presented solutions that makes jumps that cannot be deciphered without assuming some "hack" must always lead to a significantly reduced score (maybe even 0 points) on that particular question, despite having the right answer as they have not communicated what they did and why it worked. But unfortunately there is a lot if inertia in Mathematics and many teachers and parents still being far too obsessed about having their students/children arriving at the "correct" answer without appreciating the importance on what path was taken to get there. Lastly it is of outmost importance to welcome alternative ways of arriving to an answer and always give full score for any path to the solution that is logically robust and reasonable to follow, regardless of how unorthodox it was, unless it was explicitly stated in the test that such kind of solution was not allowed. That often creates joy and even pride among some student if they managed figure out their own way to a solution and being rewarded for it (if it was indeed a correct path of arguments) and makes student feel like mathematics is a more free subject and not a matter of memorizing procedures someone have decided are the best. One of the worst thing you can do is to put a certain type of solution for a problem on a pedestal unless there is very good reasons to do that. The myth of "there is always a best solution" is highly detrimental and needs to be annihilated as it is often not the case and it contributes to student feeling forced to solve problems in a certain way that may not correspond to their preferred way of reasoning.
As a producer of superb videos, you know all about studio lighting.

It does help since the algorithm is tied to engagement. I've never even heard is this channel before but it just popped up in my feed; it's right up my alley.
Absolutely. If it were possible; I would like to see ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, Univision and Telemundo stations sharing this intro anytime they suspend regular programming for whatever reason. For example; when the National Weather Service office in Norman, OK issues a Tornado Watch for much of central and eastern Oklahoma, the major TV stations in Oklahoma City (NBC affiliate KFOR channel 4, ABC affiliate KOCO channel 5, and CBS affiliate KWTV Channel 9) immediately suspend regular programming and go into wall-to-wall coverage of the weather. Playing the BBC News intro would get the attention of viewers.
Here in Canada, we briefly had Rebel News--it was the same idea and it failed for the same reasons because SOME countries actually insist that *news* programs present the news. Fucking wild, I know.
The mention of Piers on GMB made me think of The View, and how there’s always one right-wingy woman on the panel. We have had years of Meghan McCain clips to dunk on, but at least she always got pushback and her makeup artist clearly hated her.

I was made aware of the Amazon Lularoe documentary this weekend, and watched two eps - it's ok, but it's reminding me of what an amazing job you did with your two-parter. It's incredibly informative; you crunched all of the numbers and gave us some tools to use to recognize MLMs. And without fecking Amazon's resources. Anyway, this video was awesome. And to chime in on the math part, I'm a math minor who does a fair bit of biostats for my job, but I was terrible at math in grade school. That's all down to how it was taught in the past, IMO. The actual quote about missing opportunities for deeper learning was spot on.

"We do not have a company line on taking the knee." "A presenter took the knee live on air and this was an unacceptable breach of our standards."

I think the main reason was Carlson is what keeps Fox News afloat. If Tucker gets cancelled they lose a large swath of their viewership. Which really tells you something about Rupert's Enterprise. That Fox News is one of his most prized assets and yet its struggling because their viewership isn't really growing much.
Well, right wing politicians have very high standards😂😂😂
Under US laws, you can call yourself news even while lying about Sauron and Shelob; the government can't tell you what to publish or how to label it. What it is actually about is slander: a defense against slander is that if your statements were so outrageous no reasonable person would believe you were being factual. Fox has gotten sued for defamation and successfully defended itself that nobody believes they tell the truth.

I’m currently pursuing a masters of mathematics and I remember in high school being reprimanded for using original (and perfectly correct) ways of solving problems. Of course my teacher just thought I was bad at maths instead of recognizing I had a unique instinct for it. Pretty sure she wouldn’t have been so quick to judge if I hadn’t been a girl and "supposed" to be bad at math 🙄
I would like to know the details. What were the maths problems and what were your original solutions?
Similar story. My high school math teacher even made fun of me in front of the whole class. Called me Retarded. I even believed it..
I finished my undergrad math degree with high honors in 3 years and then got 2 PhDs… 🙄
You have a cool name.
And you think that kind of teacher would be swayed by that kind of message? Or rather radicalised like Neil and his ilk?
Just because you arrive at the same answer for a particular problem doesn't mean it repeatable. That's the problem. Mathematics is taught to give you a basis to learn further mathematics that are more advanced. If you don't comprehend the previous lessons they can't build upon them. If I write 30-9 as my original way of solving 3x7, it's gonna be real rough for me even though the answer is 'correct'.
The hilarious thing about the getting angry at the suggestion there's not "one right answer" in maths is that literally any mathematician would laugh you out of the room. Throughout my whole degree (pure mathematics) there were constantly problems with no, two, five or sometimes infinite solutions. My final dissertation was around Group Theory, and part of this involves abstracting everything to the very fundamental blocks, you can't even assume that x * y = y * x without a proper proof based on the axioms you start with. The reason he chooses 2 + 2 = 4 is because arithmetic is one of the only situations you may actually have 1 single solution, and even that is debatable (see those badly written 6 + 6 ÷ 6 problems that go viral all the time but I'm not going off on those again). It's so laughable when people who stopped their maths education at 16 try and act like maths is this beacon of objectivity and "one problem one answer" mentality. If you ever go above that level you'll see that maths is fucking weird and defies it's own conventions all the time depending on the branch you are working with.
That’s why you’re taught BODMAS or if your from the US PEDMAS or PEMDAS i believe and to work from left to right since multiplication and division and addition/subtraction are to evaluated at the same precedence.
Add math to the list of things conservatives think they understand but actively fail to understand beyond a third-grade level, along with biology, logic, history, religion, economics, etc
@@murph8411 division and multiplication are one and the same, so it matters not which position the D and M are.
But I see your point
@@murph8411It’s arbitrary and just a subjective choice on how to answer the question. The question is written poorly and ambiguously would always be the correct answer to that question.
Yeah as someone doing a maths degree it’s frequently quite annoying how little the general public knows about maths but think they know everything as they did well in GCSE.
The classic secondary school argument is, what’s more important communication of ideas or the correct answer? Which for anyone with any decent education in maths knows that if you can’t communicate it you may as well not do it. That’s even if there is one unambiguous answer. Or in the case of proof, the answer is normally given and the whole point is to try and show it’s true.
One example of how math can be done differently is that when I was in algebra, I could not get my head around doing the whole "subtract this number from both sides" way of figuring out answers. Instead, I liked to think of it as moving numbers around. I got the correct answers just as often, or usually even more often, as my peers and I was essentially doing the same process of problem solving, but just with a different method. Still I got counted off for "not showing my work", which made no sense to me because the whole purpose of doing that was to make sure I wasn't just cheating the answers off other people and I was doing my work in such a way that anyone copying off me could be easily spotted. And approaching math as a more open-ended process is something that is designed to help neurodivergent students, not any particular ethnic group (except those who can get diagnoses, which is an entirely different issue)
There's good reasons for promoting the "subtract from both sides" thing though, and that's because it's fundamentally linked the basic justification of why you're allowed to do it; if x = y, then any change you make identically to change the values of both sides must also yield equal values. Moving things about works great, up until it doesn't work because there's seemingly arbitrary exceptions to the rules because the rules were never about moving symbols from one side of an equal sign to the other.
Agreed with James Nomos above.
I used to be a maths teacher and the 'moving numbers around' approach is a heuristic that works for a time, but can introduce many misconceptions.
Instead, teaching inverse operations and balancing equalities is harder in the short term, but this gives a much more solid understanding and appreciation of what’s actually going on.
Further, the same concepts also link with many other areas of maths besides solving equations, for example ratios.
Consider how the concept of moving numbers around falls apart when dealing with indices or logarithms, but inverse operations holds true.
I had many students get frustrated as you have since they spotted an 'easier' method. I tried to convince them that I was teaching to UNDERSTAND maths, not PERFORM maths. It’s not about getting the right answer, it’s about grasping the underlying concepts.
I’d go as far as to argue that the example you gave is not 'doing maths differently', it’s actually not doing maths at all; you are not understanding and applying the underlying mathematical concepts.
^equating “doing algebraic manipulation in an easier to grasp way” to “not doing maths at all” is a fucking insane take so i would like to chip in as someone taking maths for university -(and as someone with a -_-massive-_- special interest in mathematics)-
if you understand the principles of what you’re doing (
@@rskeen500I feel that's a lot to infer based solely on them expressing a frustration.
Identifying a true property and applying it when it is useful is a good use of mathematical skill. So long as you can explain why that property is true.
Saying you're only allowed to do maths in single steps without telling them what steps they're allowed to take I'd say will just frustrate the sudents moreso than let them know what they're doing.
a = b 0 = b - a is as valid a property to apply as a = b a - a = b - a, what matters is that, like at higher levels of mathematics, you know what rules you're playing with.
If a student has identified that a = b 0 = b - a then they're just applying two rules in one step rather than one. Without knowing anything about the construction of the real numbers, of course they're not going to show the steps where they applied the property of the additive inverse and the property of the additive identity. They know those facts are true, and without being told anything about group theory or fields of course they're not going to think they're important enough to spend more time writing.
It was always one of the things that frustrated me most in secondary, that these rules for what needs to be shown were so nebulous and unexplained, with only certain "shortcuts" being permitted.
@@thatoneguy9582Entirely agreed, if a student discovers a shortcut, that's them demonstrating a deeper understanding of what makes mathematics work, not at all a lack of understanding.
What matters most is that as a teacher you can help that student verify that their intuition works. Because when someone says "move the number from the left to the right" that's an opportunity to help them put a name to their intuition, by telling them they're applying "a = b 0 = b - a"

The maths thing reminded me a little of being told to show all working out for gsce exams to get maximum points. With people reporting it as doesn't matter what answer you put, just show some method and you'll get fullmarks.
Basically if made a small error in one stage and ended up with the wrong answer, the markers could follow the working out and you could gets marks for the method, just not full marks.
This is similiar to how I was taught maths in my secondary school too. But you add one detail... there was only one method to solve a problem. I'm saying that there was only one way to do any math problem but that we were told that we must use a specific fomula to do specific math equations.
This was before formula books were given to students, about a year or so lol. This meant that we needed to memorize them, this was frustating to me as the formula were hard to grasp. Its odd to describe but the best phrasing would be that it went against how my mind thought of numbers.
So I basically ignored my teachers requests to use the standard formula and created my own, ones that made more sense to my mind but were correct 100% of the time. No joke there, not saying they were better just that they always got to the correct answer.
I eventually discovered why specific formula was supposed to be used. . Because it made their lifes easier. Because if the correct formula is used, regardless to the answer being correct then that meant they didn't need to think about the method used.
They can go "Huh, they must of made a little mistake." while with mine it created a problem of needing to work out how my formula was suppsoed to work even when I got the right answer.
TO be fair, teachers tend to be over worked but I don't like the methodalogy that i needed to suffer diffcult and counterproductive teaching methods just because it's easier for the people who are meant to ensure that I understand math, not just get the correct anwser.
I absolutely hated having to show my working. They always expected this fully detailed step by step process for even the most simple of problems. Frustrated me to no end when the teacher would tell me I'm losing marks by just writing the answer for a basic multiplication, or if I worked it out in a shorter/different way.
This isn't true but you can gain method marks despite not getting the right answer (so you'll get 2/5 marks on that question for example).
@@deterlanglytone what kind of formula were these? I'm curious...

Coming back to this a year later with GB News having settled in and found an audience in the low millions, I think it's time that people reckon with GB News and get serious about the danger.
I wouldn't say there's anything dangerous about it, to be honest. It's a channel that caters to the centre-right, just as there are others which cater to the centre-left. There is a very small, albeit very loud, proportion of extremism on both sides of the political scale, but for the most part the vast majority of people in the UK are very much centrist.
The 'danger' would be if it didn't exist! You people make me laugh - you're so incredibly ignorant. Politics runs on a pendulum, but you can be sure that if there is a vacuum, it will get filled. Haven't you read any history at all??? The danger of crushing either the far left or the far right is that something will come along to fill the void - something you definitely don't want! Read history, young man. The fact is that GB News isn't right-wing enough...which is why something is waiting in the wings to replace it, but people like you are so ignorant of how politics works. I sometimes think that young people like you haven't taken in anything at all about history. How and why did WW2 start? I'll leave you with that task - to read exactly what was happening in post-WW1 Germany - the 1920s and 30s. Come back in a few months' time when you've absorbed and grown (in mind).

The thing about maths is quite interesting, because I used to do well in school and get the "right" answers, but often got criticised by teachers for the way I got there - I used the "wrong" method or I skipped a step here and there. It always used to irritate me, because while I can appreciate that the reason we are taught certain methods in school is that they are effective for a wide variety of problems and reduce the risk of silly errors, these methods do not always work for all people, regardless of intelligence or background. I was top of the class, but there were some methods that just did not click for me, so I had to find my own ways of doing things. Despite some criticism and red squiggly underlines, I wasn't usually marked down for this if I got the right answer, and because I still generally did very well, I still got a lot of praise from teachers, but I can imagine kids without that praise would feel very discouraged from trying different solutions in the future, even if they demonstrably work.
By saying there is ONE right answer and ONE right way to do things, and just telling kids they're wrong without any explanation of how and why, you completely cut off any intellectual curiosity and turn school into a competition of "who is more right?" rather than a place of learning. A big part of learning is making mistakes, understanding those mistakes, and applying that understanding to future problems. I get that teachers are thoroughly underpaid and overworked, and often lack the time to properly examine and understand mistakes, but if we DID have an education system in which kids were guided through their mistakes, or were allowed to explore more unusual methods without immediate criticism, then we'd likely see far fewer kids deciding that they hate school and learning, and you'd have a much more intellectually curious and well-prepared adult population. Just saying "You did it wrong" doesn't help an 8 year old better understand their maths; it tells that 8 year old that they can't do maths, and if you do it enough times, they're just gonna give up because an adult keeps telling them they're bad at maths.

I struggled terribly with math as a kid, back in the 70s-80s when all learning issues were diagnosed as 'lazy'. 11:00 really speaks to me.
As a mathematician I’ve always suspected the reason people struggle with maths is the way it’s taught.
They worry too much with memorisation and formulas. That’s just dull and uninspiring. Every kid loves solving puzzles and maths always seemed like the subject of logic and puzzles but few people grow up to enjoy it.
But rather than memorisation if people had a solid grasp on the fundamentals then they’d be able to rely on creativity to solve problems. It’s far more fun.
I think that’s what exams here in the U.K. are meant to test. I believe in parts of the world they have a lot of multiple choice questions but here in the U.K. we’re given blank space to work with and 80-90% of the marks are given for recognising steps and showing an understanding of how to get to an answer. I think a lot of people don’t recognise that and that’s why they struggle.
@@jaymercer4692My issue was that 100% of all my maths teachers were totally disinterested in helping the kids who were struggling with maths. Also that maths is completely fucking boring and is always taught in a way that doesnt show any real-life application.
@@Facerip Not all maths necessarily has a real life application but I do generally agree.
I think it stems from underfunding. A teacher teaching 30 or so kids can't really spend the time trying to motivate kids who don't care. Some kids need a lot of work to get places and some do it themselves and with limited resources and you kinda have to abandon those two groups of kids and focus on the ones who just need a little push.
I'm a mathematician now and was a fairly independent child so I was mostly ignored by teachers or had to work as a psuedo assistant. I got in a lot of trouble because I was just bored but I think it would have been great if I was with someone who could have nurtured me to grow a lot earlier.
I was lucky enough that I stumbled into reasons to keep finding maths interesting but I can't imagine how many promising mathematicians were lost because they needed a bigger push at a younger age or more to keep them motivated like I did.
I have a habit of completely not understanding that everyone thinks like me but I always thought every child likes problem solving, completing challenging tasks and learning. So it always shocked me to see how people grew up to hate maths, the subject of puzzles and creative problem solving. I think so few people really have an understanding of what maths actually is which is purely the fault of educational systems.
@@jaymercer4692I hate Calculus because how its taught (at least in my experience).

What riles me up about their point about mathematics is that anyone who knows anything about maths can tell you that whether you get the right answer at the end is literally the least important and interesting thing about maths. It's such a shallow take by the sort of people who understand maths only as a tool to do Bigger Additions. It's the sort of people who think that mathematical skill can be measured with multiple-choice tests.
The student who can demonstrate to me that they understand the mathematical concepts and processes, and are able to form connections between them, but gets the wrong answer at the end is a better mathematician than the student who just tosses some numbers into a formula they don't understand and gets the correct answer.

They believe facts are relative or in "alternative facts" (objectivity is bad, so subjectivity is fine) and it's all a matter of opinion (you can believe vaccines have microchips in them... that's fine, your opinion is just as valid as a med school university professor, I remember seeing a video of a random Karen at a US school board meeting yelling at a medical professional to go back to school). And why not invade Congress because of the outrage you feel based on your subjective beliefs grounded in what some guys say on social media and forums and that made you fearful and angry (since open conflict is also fine)?
@@octavianpopescu4776 I took from it that problems, where there is not yet any mathematical proof yet discovered, should be talked about. And that discussions might be had about the competing potential answers to those as yet unsolved problems. That maths shouldn't be taught as just a list of dry formulas and proofs to learn that were already tied down by mostly old, dead, white men. But an active field where there are new discoveries to be made and things we may never be able to know, or maybe we will. A dynamic field with opportunity. Basically, it's how I've heard professional mathematicians and science communicators talk about mathematics. And very much not what I was taught in school.
@@WhichDoctor1 Ok, but what you're saying seems high level university maths... And the formulae, they're foundation on which the the house should rest. It seems difficult doing it properly before that (yes I learned the formulae version... memorise this and reproduce it).
It’s still valuable for people to advocate for companies to pull advertising from places like GB News if for nothing else but to allow consumers to feel like they aren’t indirectly funding that bullshit when they have to buy a shitty nightstand at IKEA.
Wait what
No, it’s cancerous.
I’m so freaking glad to have fell on to this channel. Amazing work and I loved every musical element. Seriously it’s awesome. Music, comedy, and intelligent analysis, literally all in one channel. Just became a patreon supporter too
When you compared it to an old man standing in a shower making up arguments in his head, it made me think of that one scene from V for Vendetta where a news guy is literally taking a shower in a room full of TVs, watching his own program and agreeing loudly :)
Would you believe I thought of that very same scene when listening to her comment
Glad to see a response to this! I've been getting episodes of Benefits Britain popping up on my recommended and it's just such a disgusting example of trying to get people worked up over something that is rarely ever abused the way they show on TV
The ending song felt wonderfully Bo Burnham inspired... come for the embarassingly Tory failures, stay for the existential crises.
He asked the audience if 2+2=4. This is a GB News audience. I wouldn't be surprised if that's a contested issue.
I was literally discussing last night how I always thought I was just bad at math but recently realized a lot of my hobbies include math and that I wasn’t actually bad at it I just had a really hard time memorizing formulas because I have ADHD. So I would consistently get answers on tests and homework correct but get half credit because when looking at the show your work part I wouldn’t do it the conventional way I was taught to get the answer. Which made me hate math for a long time since I could consistently repeat the process on multiple problems but it wasn’t the correct formula so it was... wrong? somehow.
Anyway I guess I just wish I was taught math differently.
this exactly happened to me. I am now getting into cryptography. I actually remember loving math - but being broken by a teacher that hated life and made me feel less than a human for not being able to memorize formulas instantly. Im 30 and still am not able to learn that way.
Sounds like me I cannot do maths for shit anymore. I remember doing it in my head and writing it down and hearing "You are right but you need to show me how you worked it out" from my teacher. Used to drive me insane because I just thought "Well why does it matter I was right?" and I never managed to get "maths" me and numbers are not good friends. Its funny because algebra was hated by most but I actually liked that because it included letters!
@@TrashwareArt I had a teacher like that, I broke her... She said something like 'You need to show me how you got this answer' loud enough for the class to hear, I replied 'I have to write a 20 page essay for my english teacher, I don't have time to teach a 50 year old woman how to do basic algebra.' The class burst into laughter, I got sent to the principal's office, but she never once said anything about it again. Still deducted the points, but no more commentary.
Might I recommend Tom Lehrer's song "New Math" as an example of mathematics teaching that only makes sense to a percentage of people?
Okay?
Uh...so that song was a slow and steady decline into madness...and I love it.
Also, I hate how the word "woke" has been weaponized and overused into a meaningless buzzword.
I am counting down the days till that word stops being used and gets revamped and revitalized like the word "Hippie." Being a Hippie is kinda retro now. ✌️☮️
Every single woke PC agenda is meaningless and pretentious so that's a great fit actually.
Kinda like how the word "Racist" has been weaponized and turned into a meaningless buzzword lmao
"Woke" was AAVE for "educated about racism" before it got repurposed by chronically online conservatives to mean "whatever makes me feel vaguely uncomfortable".
@@sean748 funny how the "woke", if they're aware about racism, say and do NOTHING about non white racism, eg black racism against the like of me, a mixed race person, or the rampant homophobia in black community, or black racism towards Asians, or the misogyny of the trans "Community"... ignorant, braindead woke people like you are why is is used as a pejorative term, because the majority of woke people are ignorant, bigoted, patronising egotistical morons, full of hatred and only see the world through a their ignorant tunnel vision.
I tried watching Fox News once and shortly after I felt like barfing and I also felt as if I lost billions of braincells.

Same. I also can't stand One America News (OAN for short) or Newsmax. One of the anchors on OAN (Liz Wheeler) is trying to be the new Tucker Carlson. With regards to Newsmax; their anchor Grant Stinchfield flew into an utter rage after a veteran of the war in Afghanistan gave the mildest criticism of President Donald Trump in the immediate aftermath of the fall of Kabul in 2021.
Absolutely spectacular content, here. First time visitor to this channel, and I'm super impressed.
Great to see thoughts backed up with charts and factual evidence. Keep going. This is on the same level as TYT, David Pakman, Rick Strom, Brian Tyler Cohen, and many other progressive intelligent channels.
It’s genuinely vert lol funny too which is rare
This is a good update on Murdoch in the last 3rd of this video, here in Aus, Murdoch is likely to be subject of a Royal Commission in the near future. Unlike in the UK, Murdoch owns over NINETY PERCENT of print media (which, in Australia, dictates the media discourse in TV and social media platforms), however the largest petition ever put forward to the Australian parliament/senate has led to an inquiry into concentration of media ownership, which, if it leads to an RC, will have international repercussions
I feel bad for only hearing this now, news from nearly half a year ago, as an aussie 💀
@@damien678 I doubt Murdoch will let you know through his hundreds of publications. If they publish that there is an enquiry into media ownership, it could gain support and lead to laws being passed that remove his power.
Well done Aus. Once you do that hopefully we'll do the same here. End the media concentration cartel.
I'm a Brit - never knew there was a UK Fox News channel. So glad it's going the way of the Dodo though!
Meanwhile, in the US we've got a few reich-wing cable channels ever worse than Fox fucking news.

US - "I am sworn to carry your burdens"
Thank goodness for people like you. Its good to know that there are others with their eyes open. Unfortunately there are a lot with their eyes shut now paying the price of not being in the EU.
Meanwhile in the US, they're mad at a talking M&M for having a different pair of shoes, and President Biden for petting a dog in Hawaii! I kid you not. I have to conclude, on the topic of "math is racist", that both extremes are wrong here. Yes, it is very helpful to focus on the methodology as the CA program suggests. In my math classes, almost 30 years ago before anything was "woke", I clearly remember getting some credit for doing the right math even if I got the wrong answer in the end, so I think that objective has long been accomplished to my satisfaction. It doesn't do anyone any good, however, to pretend that the wrong answer is somehow just as good to engender "creativity".
Sometimes kids (and adults) are wrong. You can't learn if you aren't open to possibility that you are not always right. When you get older and you do an important job, there are usually consequences when you are wrong, and it doesn't particularly help if you feel okay about that. We shouldn't treat kids as if their answers had real stakes like that, of course. School is where you are supposed to get being wrong out of your system so you can be an effective adult. If we can't ever tell them they're wrong, they can't ever learn how to do it right. There's no reason to shame them or anything, just put a red X on it, explain how to do it correctly, and move on.

All this time and I never realised that bare feet had been linked with... DEATH.

Being enthusiastic about mathematical didactics and being involved in both teaching and the construction of math books for the elementary school I am completely in love with the quote at 10;44 in this video! It is bang on the money. The arguably biggest hurdle to get student to become decent or good in mathematics is to first make them understand that mathematics is absolutely not about the answer in the first place. This problem seem to be especially big in countries that do a lot of multiple choice questions with little or no demand on the student showing HOW and WHAT the student did to come to the conclusions it did, even at ages up to 18 years old! It's crazy! The SAT in the USA is arguably one of the worst possible examples of this. The way those test are constructed it is actually barely a test in mathematics at its core but mostly instead about data extraction, pure algebra and eliminating obviously incorrect alternatives.
Mathematics is arguably more in the realm of a philosophical subject on the art of problem solving and logically sort your thoughts and ideas and clearly communicating the ideas and solutions to others by using logic, pure text, illustrations and mathematical symbols. Skills that are extremely important to develop and nourish for a wide variety of reasons! Anyone that says things like "In mathematics you are either right or wrong" may actually never have engaged in actual mathematics but appear to confuse mathematics with only being the related subtopics of arithmetic and algebra. But also in a way that seems like they were never required to properly communicate their solution for some reason, but instead incentivized to memorize various recipes and "hacks" without any deeper understanding of the underlying concepts. This is why almost all of these short "educational" videos on Instagram and Tiktok is an absolute cancer for mathematics as they perpetuate those misconceptions to the absurd.
Even as early as pre-teen age, students should gradually be required to properly communicate what their thought process was on the way to the answer and learn how to convince the reader (or listener) that their arguments holds. Those skills are actually even helpful for pure verbal argumentations even when mathematics are not apparently involved at all. The trend of trying to make most test electronic and self-corrected is a big hurdle in this regard and has absolutely not helped.
The amount of things you need to just outright remember in mathematics is actually very limited compared to other subjects and recipes and "hacks" should be avoided at all costs unless you can be very sure that the required more basic concepts motivating why they work are present. Also presented solutions that makes jumps that cannot be deciphered without assuming some "hack" must always lead to a significantly reduced score (maybe even 0 points) on that particular question, despite having the right answer as they have not communicated what they did and why it worked. But unfortunately there is a lot if inertia in Mathematics and many teachers and parents still being far too obsessed about having their students/children arriving at the "correct" answer without appreciating the importance on what path was taken to get there.
Lastly it is of outmost importance to welcome alternative ways of arriving to an answer and always give full score for any path to the solution that is logically robust and reasonable to follow, regardless of how unorthodox it was, unless it was explicitly stated in the test that such kind of solution was not allowed. That often creates joy and even pride among some student if they managed figure out their own way to a solution and being rewarded for it (if it was indeed a correct path of arguments) and makes student feel like mathematics is a more free subject and not a matter of memorizing procedures someone have decided are the best. One of the worst thing you can do is to put a certain type of solution for a problem on a pedestal unless there is very good reasons to do that. The myth of "there is always a best solution" is highly detrimental and needs to be annihilated as it is often not the case and it contributes to student feeling forced to solve problems in a certain way that may not correspond to their preferred way of reasoning.
As a producer of superb videos, you know all about studio lighting.
I appreciated how you compensated for the overly harsh white lights of the GBNews studio - by gradually reducing the gamma to reveal Andrew Neill's true irate red face.
It's a shame you couldn't somehow compensate for their excellent ventilation which removes the steam coming out of his ears.
I would gladly sit all the way through the 2-minute long mid roll ads where an orange-hued lady aggressively informs me she knows how I can make thousands of pounds online, just so Münecat would get all the ad revenue she deserves for her marvelous work 🍺
This is absolutely bloody brilliant in multiple ways. Count me as a new fan.
As an American I imagine when he kneeled thousands of old conservative British men all going "This ie bollocks!" And then angrily turning off the tv.
So satisfying watching this go down the toilet. Great vid
Oh, yeah, men who never cared about women's sports suddenly concerned, what could it be? 🤔
Used to like Neil Oliver when he did his historical and geographical videos. Now he’s just a right wing hack with the likes of Wooton, Rees-Mogg, Farage and the very disgruntled Holmes. Sad !
Commenting for the engagement because I don't know a lot about how algorithms work (hell, you should have seen me trying to spell it) but this channel definitely needs to be in more of them.
this comment is cute:)) I'm not sure how many algorithms UA-cam has (instagram has several) but this video is in those for sure:)) and your comment helps it to be pushed more into people's recommendations
It does help since the algorithm is tied to engagement. I've never even heard is this channel before but it just popped up in my feed; it's right up my alley.
That BBC intro IS an absolute banger. No other news intro compares.
Absolutely. If it were possible; I would like to see ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, Univision and Telemundo stations sharing this intro anytime they suspend regular programming for whatever reason. For example; when the National Weather Service office in Norman, OK issues a Tornado Watch for much of central and eastern Oklahoma, the major TV stations in Oklahoma City (NBC affiliate KFOR channel 4, ABC affiliate KOCO channel 5, and CBS affiliate KWTV Channel 9) immediately suspend regular programming and go into wall-to-wall coverage of the weather. Playing the BBC News intro would get the attention of viewers.
Here in Canada, we briefly had Rebel News--it was the same idea and it failed for the same reasons because SOME countries actually insist that *news* programs present the news. Fucking wild, I know.
The mention of Piers on GMB made me think of The View, and how there’s always one right-wingy woman on the panel. We have had years of Meghan McCain clips to dunk on, but at least she always got pushback and her makeup artist clearly hated her.
People still groan on about how amazing Ben Shabibo is, and he’s never not by himself or in his own echo chamber.
Loooooove that she included a Jordan Klepper clip 💜 he is a goddamn artist at getting people to self-report on their own ignorance and the best part is that they don't even know it's happening. They always think they won and they NEVER do 😂
I was made aware of the Amazon Lularoe documentary this weekend, and watched two eps - it's ok, but it's reminding me of what an amazing job you did with your two-parter. It's incredibly informative; you crunched all of the numbers and gave us some tools to use to recognize MLMs. And without fecking Amazon's resources.
Anyway, this video was awesome. And to chime in on the math part, I'm a math minor who does a fair bit of biostats for my job, but I was terrible at math in grade school. That's all down to how it was taught in the past, IMO. The actual quote about missing opportunities for deeper learning was spot on.
After watching the LuLaRich doc I was thinking how much better and more in depth munecat's one was! They probably watched all the yt content on lularoe for research lol
This comment is giving me hope. How were you able to overcome the strict math teaching methods & get into a math related field?
"We do not have a company line on taking the knee." "A presenter took the knee live on air and this was an unacceptable breach of our standards." I don't know if it'll ever stop blowing my mind when right wingers openly contradict themselves within a single statement. It can't be "Our commentators can have their own opinions, we don't have a company stance." AND "Expressing this opinion is a gross violation of our company values." IT LITERALLY CANNOT BE BOTH! How do people read shit like this and not see what's wrong with it?? Absolute brain rot.
As an American, I'm a little glad this isn't just an American problem.
but it was an american problem, just set in the UK
