Oil Spill Disaster 2010 part344 Fareed Zakaria Criticizes Media Attention On Obama Oil Spill Emotion

[kamiekam1]

type in "ski crashes" in the youtube search and click the video with stars in the title to be shocked!

[hilittleegypt]

Love you Fareed, you are sooooooo right! Again & again.....

[kprasad]

does anybody else think he deserved a medal at the rally to restore sanity?

[passionforpolitics]

Fareed Zakaria simply rocks!

[dkkght46]

President Obama's commission examining the spill has no industry or local expertise, but is instead loaded with environmentalists loons searching for a justification to institute cap and trade energy taxes. Ineptitude. Incompetence. Inattention is consistent across the Gulf, but perhaps the best description came from a Louisiana official who said that the federal response was “stuck on stupid.”

[HKgunner]

This isn't the first time this has happened. Around the same time last year, there was a major political movement taking place in Iran after an election gone bad. Basij enforcers were helping government troops beat down protesters as western journalists braved the Iranian media blackout to show the world what was going on. People in the west pledged spiritual support to Iran's dissenting public. Then Michael Jackson died, and the news media became obsessed with showing 24 hr tributes to MJ.

He is absoultly right not only that but it was Bush 43 that went after everything like a bull in a china shop now I ask all serious people do they want that, not only that but this is a text book case of how the republicans can goad the democrats on an issue, first they want some action, but when something has to be done it's no no don't touch our big oil it is not their fault they should still go around blindly till this happens again.. and again ..and again.

[pititron40000]

this guy is so full of win it makes me want to cry

[P0intxOfxImp4ct]

YES LAWDY! finally not some dude spewing skewed bullsh*t

he should talk about the crap on "OH MAH GOD VID GAEMZ MAEK PPL KILL PPL!!! OMG NOOO!"

[RebeccaLessay]

It's all about the show in the USA

[GrayVizard]

*insert slow clap*

well said

[pianoguy222]

My my. I do believe I have a new favourite place for news. That felt refreshing... if somewhat bleak. 

[0heyjc]

Finally someone talking sense. People will now fully support Obama. Yep, people don't think for themselves, they just watch the news.

[miasansom]

Holy $hit! Hell yeah tell it like it is!!!

[jaaajaa102]

Epic-ness.... Especially the last part.

[Sp4rtanDee]

"But thank goodness, the President is now talking about KICKING SOME ASS" towards the end.

Lol, Love it.

[Jaerynn]

so true!!

[Torynedarkhaven]

FAREED FOR PREZ!!!!!

[Dareitus]

epic.

[Cosmodude77]

AMEN FAREED!!!!!!!!!!!

[darkfirelancer07]

Awesome. A Glenn Beck for smart people!! XD

[Sephlock]

Like Bill Maher said, it'd be better for him if he just went down to the beach, grabbed a bird, and shouted "WHY?! WHY?!"

[Roxas226]

Really? Everyone just needs to stop being partisan minded? Fat chance. Human nature dictates that very little of the population will actually pay attention to and embrace the tough moral questions. To actually get elected to a Gov't position a person must claw and scrape their way past all the real issues and make it a popularity contest. Just look at how Patches won in Rhode Island versus a much more qualified and perfect candidate just because he's a Kennedy.

[Ironsped18]

SERVED! SERVED! SERVED! SERVED! SERVED!

[PirateZomby]

Wow. I think I got bitch-slapped....by knowledge.

[Seltis26]

@PirateZomby well said! ZAKARIA for President!

[Wyaku]

Wow best news anchor ever!

[mndrs]

Ya know..I never really pay attention to the news because what he said is exactly true. But now...I think I'll start watching his show.

[Acradius]

Finally! Someone with the balls to stand up and show, if only for a moment, just how ugly the face of this country's political system is. And Fareed is absolutely right: it doesn't matter whether we're doing something or not, it matters whether we look like we're doing something. Seeing this kinda makes me want to run for office myself, with a whole lot less sensationalism, and a whole lot more honesty and common sense.

[Nogarda1]

Fareed needs to be the top newscaster in the country. Oh thank you for giving me faith in media broadcasting, it's not always in sock puppet mode.

[ramou42]

Wow! This guy is awesome and I want to watch him all the time. About time someone in the media said something that makes sense.

[RideTheCatfish]

This guy has it absolutely right in every sense of the word. It's heartwarming to see some brains on a public media network for once.

[itsnolimitsgaming]

hero

[absourate]

wooow, my head just asploded, thanks to the last sentence

this guy is awesome, yeah, second that

[kayelish]

this guy kicks major ballsacks

[aveevu]

I've never heard of you before, but you're awesome.

[ALTERNATECHAOS]

Well, shit. Guess I'm gonna start watching this now.

[Aval23]

i agree with this guy Completely!!

[CassAnayadotcom]

Fareed Zakaria is all piles of awesome

[Garlannd]

Well the man who is supposed to represent our country is aloof and uncaring. It is a good representation of 90% of our country.

[harryfodder]

This guy is a saint!

[frealms]

Holy brubbles, this dude will either get a raise or get fired for actually speaking sense in a news!

[hurdlebeast]

@frealms Unfortunately, probably the latter. I don't know who he is, or what his political veiwpoints are, but let's face it, the man speaks nothing but the truth here. I can already see the counter-criticism coming from other mediamen (and women!)...The sad thing is, the "Hey, look over here America" tactic works all too well. The things we should be focusing on we simply aren't. I honestly blame a large part of that solely on the media (barring this guy, of course). Just my two cents.

[frealms]

@hurdlebeast you're probably right. At least he'll get to keep going as long as he is in the center of the newshub with that comment, since it would be too much backfire to fire the dude for that while he is in the spotlight

[dirtyarmenian]

Fareed Zakaria, always the voice of reason. Excellent video.

[brandonjeppson]

Why can't we get more media to focus on what's important? Instead the media turn our country's reporting into a glorified high school where it's all about gossip and popularity. Really people? Really? And you reporters are supposed to be the gate keepers of our news? Thank you to this man for calling them out on their foolishness! Refocus news reporters of America!

[Sputters]

Did he just own like...every media outlet ever? Because...I believe he did.

[y0tube3]

Fareed is a total bad ass. I've always loved his intelligent insight. He is 100% spot on.

[Nyxsnlol]

this guy has balls of steel!

[bru15]

Congrats to the U.S.A. on having someone in the media that knows what to say!

[maviowl]

wow finally someone who is actually not biased

[dl8eb]

Mia Hamm>Diego Maradona/Pele/Beckham

USA is the soccer super power

[snuman06]

NO there are actually more upvotes than downvotes and no votes are being deleted. He made good points here.

[ChaosTheory11]

He looks like that guy from spiderman

[Icalasari]

Youtube: The only place where people think the guys that make sense are crazy lunatics

As the reporter said, "Have we all gone crazy?"

[TomCrewsrly]

hmmm. why are the downvotes being deleted?

Freek Zakaria is a hack, and well known moron.

99% of the main stream media is ripping BP, not

BHO. WTF? Oh, yeah, suck BHO's johnson much lately?

[KlaykidReal]

@TomCrewsrly So that means if I down vote your comment, it will disappear. Let's test this hypothesis.

[davisjones1287]

@TomCrewsrly How's he a hack? An actual centrist reporter? Shit, at least he doesn't work for Fox News or Air America.

He didn't say the media wasn't "ripping" BP, but rather that they're focusing ON THE WRONG ISSUE.

Seriously, was it prudent for Obama to cancel a trip to Asia for this? No. He's right- the Federal government has little they can do short term, so why try and look busy doing it?

[charlesgoodwin]

"Thank goodness the president is talking about kicking some ass."

Best... sarcasm... ever.

[UGotSerbed]

This guy is my fucking hero now

[mpgarate]

105 likes and 0 dislikes. EXCELLENT.

[erogul1]

I agree with Fareed on this one, but in general he's a hack

[ambigera]

@erogul1 OHHHH, you shut your whore mouth! Naw I don't know erogul1, maybe you're right, I haven't looked into his other views.

[ianp711]

American News Media, specifically politically motivated FOX News SUCKS. People who watch that station are idiots, THINK!

[Meejoe27]

The binary thinking, political polarization and outright stupidity of the United States will be its undoing.

"Everything is a political football" is the first step to destroying the very foundation of a strong united country.

Republicans and Democrats would love nothing more than to watch the United States suffer and die as long as they could place blame on the other party and childishly yell "i told you so".

If you are a politically partisan citizen of the United States, go fuck yourself.

[cybermiester]

@Meejoe27 you sir, are the most intelligent person on the internet! May you be showered with inasanley attractive nymphomaniacs...

[DillaWorld]

@Meejoe27

Hey don't say US is "doomed" and all that shit, I'm the one who's gotta deal with it.

[munen3434]

i am so glad this man has a news show! very good point Fareed!

[dripstone]

Watch him on Jon Stewart. He's one of the few people from the media that seems to be informed.

[ericunderscores]

@j4pan Shut up, terrorist.

[Cormierguy121]

@j4pan youre an idiot, fareed is an american citizan and he has a valid point here. If you would stop trolling the comment board and actually listen to what he has to say then you would see that.

[Danthemanhan]

@j4pan trololololo

[ZenithPlacidity]

@j4pan You're not really a dumbass, are you?

[IamTheBaron]

@j4pan next are you going to blame the poor financial climate on homosexuals?? are you going to blame poor foreign relations on all the illegal immigrants sabotaging america from within?? you cant blame anything on an 'act of god' you might as well say it was all caused by an invisible, fez wearing pink unicorn called sergio armstrong....because for the sake of this argument he is as realy as any religious figure

[absourate]

@j4pan waahahahahahaha

a little more effort to win the godwin point, keep up the good work, Cletus!

[Acradius]

@j4pan Westbourough Baptist Church much? This is the kind of extremism, of any variety mind you, be it political, religious, economic, liberal, conservative, that is pulling this country apart at the seams. What needs to happen is our elected representatives at all stations need to take a step back, take a deep breath, worry less about being a media whore or getting reelected, and focus on some serious problem-solving.

[ZenithPlacidity]

Wow. is this guy always this awesome?

[TheRobbieHunt]

@ZenithPlacidity Yes.

[amanbe25]

@ZenithPlacidity yes

[thequantumflux]

@ZenithPlacidity yes even when I disagree with him. He does a great job of making concise and well thought out stories.

[Zolio6]

@ZenithPlacidity No, but he is most of the time.

[taladel]

@ZenithPlacidity Yeah, pretty much.

[4zero4]

@ZenithPlacidity yup he is always concise and cuts to the real point

[endsequence]

@ZenithPlacidity Yes, read his book, "The Post American World"
