    Fact checking is (should be) almost completely equatable with the journalistic profession

    • @HdRfreak21
      @HdRfreak21 7 років тому +42

      I beg to differ. Fact-checking is an integral part of journalism, but a good journalist has to do much more. For example, he/she has to be able to find facts, connect them, explain them, formulate an opinion about them, separate important from unimportant facts, and finally present them in a way that is nuanced, understandable and interesting.

    • @Schmidtelpunkt
      @Schmidtelpunkt 7 років тому +14

      Actually, fact-checking even comes before connecting anything. It is the foundation. Without it, tv journalists are about as reliable as some random youtube video or blog without sources. They make themselfs redundant.

      I studied journalism in a famous french school a few years ago (precision : it was a science journalism cursus for people with science background in college), and we had a teacher/active journalist who said one day in class : "have you ever heard of fact-checking ?" and started to explain this new "trend" in media. I was baffled. My first reaction was "Isn't it our VERY JOB to check the facts, before or after ?! Especially for us who studied science before journalism ?!!!". The journalist/teacher said "you know, in the press, with the speed of information and news, you don't always have the time or the ressources to really investigate on a subject. So yeah fact-checking is rarely done."
      Side note : I'm not working in the press as of right now. In fact I got my diploma and moved on to another field.

      Zach Munro It's not even just that. Trump has made some statements that should absolutely disqualify someone from running... and the media never covers them. I'm talking about his multiple suggestions that he'd commit war crimes and stuff like that. When was the last time there was any mention of that on the news? They should be talking about it non-stop. Same with his asking that Russia spy on his opponent in order to help him win the election. I mean this guy is a Republican, the party of Reagan who called the Soviets the "Evil Empire", but Trump casually suggests that they should be spying on Americans to influence our elections and help him win... and crickets from the media.

      To be fair... Neither candidate offers the facts. Trump runs on a platform of "Vote for me because I win". Clinton runs on a platform of "Vote for me because I'm not Trump." The RNC would have you vote on a platform of "Vote for Trump because he isn't Clinton." No one is offering any ideas or facts or even trying to make a coherent message to the American people other than to fear the other side.

      Trump isn't bad at all though, he just says things that are on his mind. His policies are good and his no BS attitude is good. Trump speaks in hyperbole and the media elites and political elites hate that. He isn't a politician like everyone else, he is the only genuine candidate running. He is also under constant bullshit and made-up stories that he is somehow literally Hitler. If you actually watch everything Trump says instead of the headlines or short 20 minute videos about how evil he is you would realize he is easily the best option. This is from someone who voted for Obama, so i'm not some right wing nut job like Alex Jones.

Anyone who feels they are choosing between the lesser of two evils has just been lazy and is finally waking up to the fact that their party has led them astray. They need to take ownership of their own voting power. They need to stop relying on MSM sound bites and pay closer attention to what is going on in the world around them.

      I'll listen to what you have to say and then decide for myself. I trust myself first. Then I look for individual PEOPLE to place more of my trust. I tend to trust the man who calls himself Donald Trump. I trust him enough to hire him to be my president.

      Pointing out that he didn't vote for the war is more a point about his lack of government experience since he's never been elected to an actual office than it is a valid point in his favor over Hillary Clinton. He could not have voted for or against the war, so, using that as a point for him is an argument you can't truly make. What is important here is that he did, in fact, say that he was for it even though he recently said he was always against it.

    • @SeantommyE
      @SeantommyE 7 років тому +6

      He never claimed Hillary didn't lie. He's not comparing the two on their positions about the war. The point is that they tell lies and aren't corrected (the war example with Trump being his claim that he opposed the war from the beginning, when that's clearly not the case. He may have opposed the war eventually, but not from the beginning. It's totally possible that he could make a compromise position that by "from the beginning" he just meant from early on, and define that however he wanted, but he's not even being challenged to assert that level of honesty. They're just being allowed to say whatever they want and not get challenged). The actual stances in question are not relevant to Nerdwriter's point, it's the fact that they're lying without anyone calling them out on it.

      X7Maverick Hey kid, he's not encouraging you to vote for anybody. He's basically encouraging us as audience members to ask questions, be well-informed and fact-check things that are said because the news doesn't always do it. If all you got from the video was a pissing and moaning brigade about lying politicians maybe you should pay the fuck attention

  • @OmgItsWayneCA
    @OmgItsWayneCA 7 років тому +5

    Hey Nerdwriter, great ideas and video! Getting news stations to fact check what politicians say could be a really effective method of creating an increased transparency within the realm of politicians, and what they say. However, news companies are often a part of a huge conglomerate that have political bias and creates the illusion of different opinions when in reality, they are all owned by the same entity that is conveying the same biased messages. I mention this issue because facts and fact checks can be manipulated to support the agenda of the politician or news station.

    @X7Maverick 7 років тому +20

    So you base your initial argument is "Yeah I guess so." I would argue that he was a member of the public, a celebrity who relied on public opinion for his business, not a politician at the time. You have the stats yourself, initially people wanted it. His job wasn't to really look into that at the time, where it was Clinton's.

    • @randomguy5990
      @randomguy5990 7 років тому +8

      He is fact checking Trump. Trump said "I was against the war in Iraq". He was actually for the war in Iraq.
      Clinton was for the war but she never said "I was against the war in Iraq".

    • @X7Maverick
      @X7Maverick 7 років тому

    • @randomguy5990
      @randomguy5990 7 років тому +3

      X7Maverick
      It's not about his opinion. It's about the lie. If Trump didn't say "I was against the war in Iraq" and criticized other people for supporting the war, we wouldn't be talking about this.
      We didn't go to war because of Hillary , we went to war because congress declared war based on false intelligence , and George W. Bush directed the military after congress declared war.

    • @X7Maverick
      @X7Maverick 7 років тому +1

      Hillary literally credits a KKK member I'm sorry but if you think Hillary did not have more of an impact than Trump in what happened whilest they were there you're way off. The video literally asks people to take this and run with it.
      The public always forgets and come november it is one of either Hillary or Trump. One of them

    • @randomguy5990
      @randomguy5990 7 років тому +1

      X7Maverick He had some examples of Hillary lying in the video.
      Robert Carlyle wasn't a KKK member when he mentored Hillary. He was a congressman.
      "Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, former President Bill Clinton, West Virginia Governor Joe Manchin and members of Congress attended the memorial service for Byrd at the State Capitol in Charleston, West Virginia, on July 2, 2010."
      I guess our government loves KKK members too ?
      "Well, it's easy to state what has been my biggest mistake. The greatest mistake I ever made was joining the Ku Klux Klan. And I've said that many times. But one cannot erase what he has done. He can only change his ways and his thoughts. That was an albatross around my neck that I will always wear. You will read it in my obituary that I was a member of the Ku Klux Klan.
      " - Robert Byrd

    Worth noting (and it wasn't noted in the video, indeed it was almost implied otherwise) that according to PolitiFact Hillary Clinton is one of the most honest politicians on the national stage, scoring their top three ratings on 72% of her contested statements, making her the most honest candidate from either party in the 2016 election.

      How about you also work on the art of not splitting hairs? Sure, you can parse words...and point to Donald Trump saying "Yeah...I guess so" in a half hearted voice, right after the war started. But you are missing the big picture (perhaps intentionally?) The bottom line Nerdwriter, is that Donald Trump PUBLICLY opposed the Iraq War MORE THAN ANY OTHER CANDIDATE - INCLUDING CLINTON AND THE DEMOCRATS (with the one exception being Bernie Sanders) And he did so WHILE the war was still raging. YES, there was a brief period where he half-heartedly supported the war (as in "Yeah...I guess so) but that was because the war had JUST BEGUN and the entire country was cheering on the troops. There are numerous interviews after that (such as the Wolf Blitzer interview) where Trump lambasts the war and calls George Bush "the worst president we've ever had." AND he publicly criticized the Bush family during the primaries and saved us from a possible THIRD Bush presidency. More importantly, he is CURRENTLY opposed to starting any more wars and he's calling for diplomatic relations with Russia instead of saber rattling like Clinton and the globalists. Instead of playing smarmy attack dog, maybe you should look at the BIG PICTURE and realized that Trump- despite all his flaws- is actually LESS likely to push America into a war than a controlled globalist like Clinton would be.
