    Brilliant idea. This idea would go places if you ensure these 1200 or more reporters are completely unbiased with strong determination. I have personally seen so many local reporters taking money to write propaganda news.

    Yeah right! Wait until Trump argues and shouts at the successful reporters. That will be the most national news ever!

      Trump could google global population count and get 1.8 billion Muslims in the world. 1% of 1.8 billion = 18 million. If 1% of Muslims were “out to get us” we would have had 18 million attacks on civilians instead of less than 100 in the past 20 years. There. I just disproved ALL global media for the past 20 years. A 12 year old could do it but apparently ALL global media houses can’t do 3rd grade math and can 100% exclusively do hate & fear propaganda leading to WW3. Disgusting.

    Let me get this strait, a guy on TED is telling us about err…. what’s the word “journalism”. HA! Good one. TED could not find story outside it’s own ideological bubble even if it tried. Call me when there are some actual ideas worth spreading even if they are politically incorrect. A TED Fellow is going to teach us how big media companies are bad and he is the light. Behold. HA! Good one. Sorry fellow, I’m running out of cynicism. And you have your TED brand to thank for that.

      Your total ignorance is amazing. You might prosper outside of YOUR bubble You wouldn’t be able to comprehend real journalism if it came in a think & do activity booklet. Great form of hypocrisy displayed here.

      Get this straight: Start by teaching global mass media extremely simple math. 1.8 billion Muslims in the world. 1% of 1.8 billion = 18 million. If 1% of Muslims were “out to get us” we would have had 18 million attacks on civilians instead of less than 100 in the past 20 years. There. I just disproved ALL global media for the past 20 years. A 12 year old could do it but apparently ALL global media houses can’t do 3rd grade math.
      Kind regards, an atheist with at least half a brain (that’s all you need to see through fake news)
      PS. I will repeatedly write this comment as a main post and as an answer to MANY other comments because apparently fighting fake news with 100% indisputable facts is against Sabbatean Frankist policies and 99% of these comments on ANY youtube video will be deleted in a matter of seconds/minutes. Absolutely disgusting.

      @Super Saber Collective punishment is a form of retaliation whereby a suspected perpetrator’s family members, friends, acquaintances, sect, neighbors or entire ethnic group is targeted. The punished group may often have no direct association with the other individuals or groups, or direct control over their actions. In times of war and armed conflict, collective punishment has resulted in atrocities, and is a violation of the laws of war and the Geneva Conventions.

    Notice only the far left ‘journalists’ are being helped. Right wing journalists are continued to be censored and de-platformed.

    How about teaching ALL journalist to be unbiased and stop the leftists propoganda BS!?! Start giving us real news from a neutral view point! THAT would be far better than this

    A system where important stories don’t go unnoticed? I wish we had this in America
