Hey. I was just dropping in on your channel because I haven't heard anything from you in a while, and I thought it would be fun to come make a nuisance of myself.
And then I saw the thumbnail for this video and remembered how much of a hoot it was, so I watched it again.
But I didn't notice before... what's the deal with the flower?
yeah, well, television is a visual medium. It will always focus on what is most visually interesting. Fire, riots, and property damage are visually interesting. Their main business is selling eyeballs to advertisers, it's the nature of the beast. See Neil Postman's book _How to Watch TV News_.
lol the G20 was totally over blown, I work down in that area and it tweren't neaarly that bad. very small group in the balck bloc doing the damage...anywaaaaay
yes journalism has changed over the years, is all "yellow journalism"
you forgot the canada arm the canada arm 2 and dunt da da daaaaaa insulin americans need to be reminded of these things occasionally along with superman hockey basketball and asskickin soldiers gah, we let ourselves be sooo under rated
We must be prudent consumers of the news - knowing that, while they don't exactly LIE, they certainly taint the truth by focusing on the most outrageous or violent parts of any story.
It's why people run around scared of being attacked when all evidence shows that your chances of being criminally assaulted have never been lower. I've gone thousands and thousands of days without being attacked.... not a line about it in my local paper.
I agree regarding the small number of violent protesters. Youtuber Straightd0pe (that's a zero not an o) attended the protest and posted a video of his experiences. "Law enforcers" do not come off well in the footage.
Cheeeka, I sure do miss you when you go too long without making a video. The audio here, though, is horrendous. I don't know about anyone else, but I can't even make out the Canadian joke. Maybe you should add some captions about that.
@lazyperfectionist1 Sorry, I actually turned off my AC because I recall there were problems with the audio when I had it running.
Canadian joke:
A French-Canadian guest who was staying in a hotel in Quebec phoned room service for some pepper. "Black pepper, or white pepper?" asked the concierge.
that's because the american media no longer cares about the news, only propaganda.

@lazyperfectionist1 If memory serves, some of the peaceful protesters gave flowers to the police that were standing by. I thought it was cute is all.
