Why Journalists Should Avoid This Trap | Malcolm Gladwell @TED
In his 2000 bestseller “The Tipping Point,” Malcolm Gladwell told the story of why crime fell in New York City in the 1990s. Now, 25 years later, he’s back with a confession and a mea culpa: “I was wrong,” he says. He shares how his analysis contributed to the rise of the infamous “stop and…

This is true, and I appreciate you saying so frankly. But what journalists need to get right these days is NEUTRALITY. Sorry, but that’s the truth. Of course you will have your own opinions, and those may be very powerful and motivating opinions. BUT…the role of journalist is to present us with FACTS with NO coloring, tainting, hinting, nudging, etc. MOST of the mainstream media today “reports” the news somehwere between slightly left and vehemently unabashedly left on the political and social spectrum.
SHAME ON YOU.
Bring back REAL, PROFESSIONAL journalism with integrity and NEUTRALITY.

Neutrality doesn’t mean accurate, it vaguely means between traditional and modern politics. Centrism on medicine might mean not everyone gets medicine: whether something is good depends on what helps people, not getting upset at a perceived bias.
There are popular right-wing sources covering US, Canadian, UK, (most countries) politics and some countries heavily censor left topics like LGBTQ+ in Russia and China. This “the left controls media” is a lie (white nationalists love to say it, but never source it) used to whip people like you into hating numerous mixed-quality ideas. You really hate free effective healthcare that’s saved millions? Well, I like being alive, so certainly you fell for a dangerous narrative.
People need to be educated, and people need to argue in good faith. He’s right, and you didn’t really listen as much as went into a tangent about bias being the boogeyman. More people (yourself) should care about confirmation of facts, and you’re being rude and abrasive for no good reason. “Shame on you?” 🤷♂️

Nope, he is still wrong. Saying “I believe…” is editorial, not journalism, not news. Facts are what belong in the news, not opinions, and not “beliefs”.
@l01230123
December 10, 2024 at 3:03 pm
That’s exactly his point! 😅 He doesn’t have an objective view, he made up facts, (that’s not good) and he should be clear when he’s editorializing his hope rather than what’s actually happening.
He never stated or implied facts were bad to cover: that’s just absurd and a bad faith interpretation based on, factually, only two words.

@@l01230123 And now he thinks he should have said “I believe” but as I already stated, that’s not the news so he is still wrong. I think the problem here is that news is hard to find, it’s almost all editorial now and sadly, most people don’t know the difference.

@@whanethewhip Now there’s a problem that most people don’t understand what editorializing means…
The problems is *you* should try listening to the full argument he made within context – not quote mining terms you don’t like – and stop assuming most people (constructing a public in bad faith) are just ignorant of what a journalistic opinion is. I agree that there’s too much editorializing.
Two logical fallacies: I’m just gonna assume you’re on a roll. Peace out. ✌

In news, there’s a difference between an opinion piece and a real (current, hard) news (meaning facts) piece. That is where the news gets it wrong. There are too many opinions and not enough facts.
@l01230123
December 10, 2024 at 3:57 pm
Agreed, but I’m not sure what the right balance or good solution would be practically. 🤷♂️
I am sure plenty of people are tired of culture war enthusiasts “destroying” each other over opinion pieces instead of discussing anything meaningful. _cough_ *Ben* *Shapiro* _cough_

@l01230123 Channels like CNN, MSNBC, and FoxNews, don’t discuss real, honest news, they give us their opinions about the news. There’s a place for news like that, but to me, those channels are no better than tv shows like The View.
Unfortunately, there aren’t enough channels reporting real, current, hard news. The only place I see it is on my small local news channel and my local newspaper.
There’s a place for both but right now we are overrun with everyone’s opinions. The news, the real news, isn’t a place for opinions.

@@mef123321 Very true, they do a lot of editorializing almost as if facts can’t be entertaining. Why am I subbed to education channels if that’s the case? 😅
Even while there are some online American mainstream news that do a good job separating their opinions section, (like a newspaper) they’re potentially the target of “X group THINKS WHAT?” style of popular video, amplifying them, and they get re-editorialized into slop.
Opinions on opinions gets the drama stirring, and there’s little we can do about the groups/people making the problem worse, which is bad when they have large audiences. (Could be bad actors, mistake prone, reactionaries, or any somewhat ignorant or abrasive people)

Mainstream has the last 4 years proven to be 100% propaganda. Especially the Demoncrats controlled one. That damage cannot be fixed by a hypocrite apology on TED. Isn’t TED part of the Gates empire, is it?
