As I use to say, the problem with the internet is that the opinion of a retard has as much weight as the opinion of a cultivated and educated person.
Makes it hard to guess who's who in this world of anonymity. And look what just happens here, all the internet tough guys come to say this guy is an asshole. Well, this asshole is on TV, you're commenting on Youtube. Way to go, keyboard warriors.
thats because they jus want our eyes glued to the tv and basically show things on there that we have no other choice but to watch utube is a site where u can watch anything on here except for porn but other than that u can type about anything and its on there like i like to listen to old school music and watch movies that they no longer show and im also into listening to gospel music so to me the internet has it good side and its bad side but i choose the good so fuck with they talkin bout
If you want to watch people get kicked in the crotch you can. If you want to watch something educational you can. Anyone who has an interest in what you watch is trying to censor what you watch. And that's a kick in the crotch.
I do support free culture and democratisation and so on, but its always interesting to hear the opposite point of view. "inanity, superficiality and often dishonesty of the blogosphere" ...I think he's hit it on the head there.
watch authors@google video with him, I thought he was a douche until I actually listened to what he had to say
Though i think the internet serves to aid us in these vital years, It's a thorn in the side of the ruling class, very hard to keep people misinformed, even if they are for a short time, they all come to find the truth, i see it over and over.
These are changing times because it has been orchestrated that way.
I've seen alot of incredibly well documented, well researched and scientific presentations on YouTube... Thousands.
I've learnt alot from people on here, things that i would otherwise not be attribute to.

Something appears that gives near every person on Earth the platform to communicate with one and other, ESSENSIALLY, the Earth has DEVELOPED a nervous system.. can't you see hwo incredible that is... this fucking moron is on about individual bullshit.
This is something you don't question, if it destroys culture as you see it then you get with the fucking program and let it happen.
Out with the old, people are not so easy to selectively PROGRAM, it's as simple as that.
The internet answers any question you may pose to the world. The people around you don't even use the internet, so when you ask them the question, they do not respond with thoughtful answers or even correct answers. At least on the internet, you get hundreds of hours to research on your own - off the net, you have to research for hundreds of hours with said experts and maybe 30 or 40 books on the matter. Absolutely inconvenient and absolutely restrictive.

this guy is one of those who believes freedom is ok for him and his ilk and not for the rest of us peons and that we should only listen and trust them because they know better than us rubes. It would be funny if it was just him who believed this, but it's actually quite scary because this belief is shared by so many professors, politicians and others in positions of authority.
TV is the is used to control your mind and this guy is truying to get internet out of the way. Internet is the only true sorce of informacion wich you cant get of any other media. Expert write blogs and governmant is controling TV !!!
Btw, did you notice how much freedom he was given to speak without interruption. There's a reason for that. See his eyes? He's reading off of cue cards, yes?
They just can't stand it, sharing is not their forte, they want to define the truth, they see themselves as the only true arbiters of what is real and what is not real. This is the enemy of the people, this is exactly what he believes. Remember it.
all that's happening here, is that Musicians were the first to get bitten by napster and more and nobody gave a fuck cause they said go get a real job....but now the journalists and actors are feelin it and they are worried!!!! hahahah FREE SPEECH will destroy the NWO...too damn bad.
This guy is a self righteous douche. The "experts" are the ones that are fucking shit up. The internet is a God send because at least here I can filter out the bullshit. Every other form of mass media is chock full of bullshit now, and they are truly the ones dumbing us down. Just turn on the radio or the TV. Lil Wayne and Lady Ca-Ca on the radio, and shyte like The Hills and Jersey shore on TV. The Internet is our last hope, before they find some way to fuck that up too.
its already fucked up. there are rumoirs of an internet 2 coming out soon. and its a bad thing why? BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR EVERY SITE YOU VISIT!!!
He's right. But if he just jumped up and down while screaming "Americans are stupid," he'd be more right. Steinbeck's East of Eden: 32 copies sold this week (on Amazon). Fred: 7,300,000 views. The decline continues.
The end of reliable and credible news? What station was he watching? Are there weirdo's on the Internet, sure, but there is a lot more good information on the Internet then there is on cable tv news or newspapers.
We need to listen to our wise overlords which he includes himself as part of. What a Dick. I need him to tell me what is entertaining?
Education, Television & Social Engineering programmes have resulted in a reduction in literacy levels for decades -long before the Internet.
'Listen to professionals - who know how to collect the news.'
Does he mean the controlled press & TV that regularly present one-sided propaganda?
Judging by the distortion of facts by governments, TV channels, newspapers, MPs etc, he must never actually watch TV if he is under the misapprehension that they are unbiased.
Iseewhatthisguyissaying, but he obviously has some pent up angst. The ignorant perpetuate themselves just as the negative like this guy. We need to be able to consume and filter information freely and do what is naturally nourishing for ourselves...Live in Harmonious Faith.
This guy is such a douche bag. Government controlling the internet? No thank you. People can look through the bull shit on youtube and wiki. If it was not for youtube I would not know as much about politics since a lot of it is not popular enough to get any air on television. This guy is an idiot.
Keen is taking flack for points good and bad. Considering the opposing school is Weinberger et al, who are basically thinking our freedom of expression is best done by a "web2.0" recording of our habits and tastes of industrial mass market, where's the harm. So far I think populism and big brother are in bed together. We're going to have to take the best from each of these camps.
BTW "Google/YouTube": yes, I know you're tracking me and will have a wonderful auto-ad banner waiting...yay freedom!
Internet is one of the few places where we have free flow of information and it sounds like he is against this. Besides this, he saids places like youtube and wikapedia are not reliable because they are free. So is that suppost to mean that since the source of this information doesn't come from billionaires, its not true?
What a idiot. Who pays him and who does he work for? What is wrong with people seeing different points of opinion. He wants a us to follow the social conditioning programs put out by the controlled mainstream by the controlling class. 6 corporations own all the media in the world. They are all owned by the same people.
Sure there's a lot of idiocy on the web but when has there not been a plethora of mediocrity in western culture with every major technological advancement in consumer products?
Keen decries this as "communism" - that should tell you something about this guy's agenda.
Yeah cause we know how reliable mainstream news has been in reporting unbiased facts about Iraq, Vietnam, and any other war. Remember, there ARE WMD's! Communist China DID use Vietnam on their crusade for world power. TV news said so!
All his life he's believed whatever the authorities told him was "true". Now that the internet is exposing him to more information and revealing the fallacies, inconsistencies and hypocrisies of the mainstream he is freaking out. He's like that douche in the Matrix who just wanted to be reinserted into his dream world once he was confronted with his own freedom.
The internet is based on voluntary exchange. Those who say they know what's best for others, either through "professional opinion" or some other form of elitism, have every right to say what they say, but like the "fraud[s]" he is talking about, everyone should be weary of unsubstantiated opinion. Wikipedia is usually cited very effectively, and if it isn't, it probably isn't something to be taken for fact, but that should be the users discretion, not the "government" as he proposes.
This guy is absolutely right. People are really dumbing down with youtube, myspace, twitter, facebook, and other blog-related sites that are really turning us into a very moronic species.
What a troubled man, or I say a troll of the New World Order. He says "...we listen to professionals rather ourselves." Doesn't he know the inventions of technology was not invented by any professional people but ideas of every individuals, that made them professionals? This guy is nothing but a tool. This guy is so concerned that he thinks the internet is dehumanizing us all. The internet is the real informations, not the mainstream media that uses propaganda and lies! He is sold out!
Yes reliable mainstream media experts that caused the death of a million children in Iraq and told us weapons of mass desstruction over and over again as if it was a advertising slogan. This liar has blood on his hands
too bad, hollywood sucks, universal records sucks dick, im much more frightened watching this skull head talk. i am an expert. i wont even read his buck even though i can probably download it for free. i think his opinion is unreliable and his message is insidious. go fuck yourself standing up bo.
What a complete and utter moron. This interviewer is just pitching him "questions" that let him plug his retarded book.
"We've got to learn to read and listen to professionals rather than ourselves because ultimately they're the ones who are experts, they're the ones who know how to collect the news, they're the ones who make compelling music and great movies, not ourselves."
There is so much horribly wrong and intellectually shallow about this statement I can't even believe it. Enjoy 1984.
Ooooh, the EXPERTS. Everyone knows they know what's going on. Wasn't one such group of experts here:
watch?v=c8nrZthYbNM
or here:
watch?v=UCBS9tnIx6Y
this too:
watch?v=ZuSbIm6s9aM
here too:
watch?v=B0XJu9l3Mfk&feature=related
Now, when you talk about "experts" maybe you should first find out whether these "experts" know a god damn thing about market analysis, or anything for that matter other than ripping off tax payers and investors for their own obscene $100 million+ yearly incomes. Moron.
The internet is not dumbing us down it's the individiual looking at and creating junk. What ever you send out is what you get back. This guys obviously had never heard of MIT Open Courseware, oh and by the way use some common sense. There are those who just believe anything but I think there are more of us remaining aware of dealers of bad data.
Change is the only constant, those who fear change is because they don't like our nature.
He's got a lot of negativity around him. Listen to the words he uses. Hitting, Storm, unreliable, dumb, non-sense, listen to 'experts', blame, illiteracy, unreliability.
This guy knows that people are waking up to the real truth. Are we to accept the filtered information we get from 'them'. I'd rather hear what a real unfiltered person has to say before I place any faith on tv. PEOPLE FIRST!!!
Everything he is saying applies to conventional media also.I disagree with Woodsyone, the truth does exists;however, we are in a world that hides,distorts and hates the truth.I believe this is because manipulation cant occur without lies.But I do Agree with Woodsyone regarding being reliant on one's self to get to the truth.I would rather hear the opinions of real people then paid month pieces like Keen -telling us we make no difference.We can speak for ourselves & rule without their influence
Troubling in this man`s statements are an embedded message: Laypeople cannot think for themselves, they need to be told what to think by 'Professionals'. To me this is rubbish. He appears to be sufferring from the very narcissim he claims Internet Surfers are. Total bull. I won`t be buying his book, that`s for sure.
Keen is a charlatan spouting provocative drivel to sell a book full of repetitive nonsense. which also describes the mainstream media. to suggest that the media is more intelligent, accurate or less biased than the amateur blogger is laughable. no one reading a blog expects it to be non-biased. the opposite is true. we search sites like You Tube for opinions, new talent, creative humor, etc. things that we now know the mainstream media has deprived us of. vive l'internet! vive le You Tube!
they are trying take over the internet but people put up truth so often its hard. The ones who are asleep will agree with this guy. He say its scary how we have our own views. He is saying stop have a mind !!! Let TV make up your mind. Listen in between the lines.
Keen has some points. Creative Professionals are hurt by Internet amateurs. It's easy to get news from a blog, but bloggers are not journalists, they're gossipy, biased & don't necessarily hold to a standard of journalistic ethics (Will they "out" a source? Will they report names of teen rape victims?) And blogs are biased.
But Keen forgets that the Mainstream Media is biased, too, and that bloggers act as watchdogs. (Dan Rather's faked Bush docs, for ex.) And the Net does democratize info.
The internet is undermining the power elite, the controlled media monkeys. The professionals have been corrupted, they are too cozy with the government power structure that they seek to cover. How many more mainstream headlines do I need to see like this:
Analysis: Obama may learn from slips on stimulus
Man in Sweden watches television 72 hours to set world record
When Keen says the government needs to educate us he is revealed as a fraud and charlatan.
This is wrong on so many levels. what a fucking superior egomaniac. we are fucked the day we give up the freedom of the internet to the "professionals" to do the thinking for us.
This rather narrow minded fellow talks as if he and others like him are the only ones with minds. He's assuming that the masses have no brain, no ability to judge for themselves and form their own opinions. Ultimately He's advocating censorship and a narrow focus where individual expression and opinion is stifled in favour of the 'party line' truth which is only in the hands of so called experts.
If this were the middle ages, this guy would be burning all books other than the bible.
KEEN is a bold faced liar protecting his selfish interest. everything he says is %100 backwards. the net gives you freedom of perception, the television only give you one option of what to think, it speaks for you because you cannot debate with a box. look up marshall mcluhan and edward bernays. the net is free market capitalism not monopoly capitalism. the corporate figures and tv advertisers are having trouble selling there over hyped crappy products. KEEN serves mediocre corporate interest.
The culture is what the culture is. The people who complain "the culture is being dumbed-down" are merely egotists who look at others and say "I'm better". It's someone blaming culture for killing culture. Whose culture? The culture HE wants? The culture HE believes in? Why should we listen to HIS opinion on culture? Where is the universal standard for "smart" and "dumb" culture? It doesn't exist.
Sorry about that I meant let real talent have a shot not just the controlled Jewish owned companies that want to destroy America. How about White European & US Media go over to Isreal & control there Media & destroy there country & there people like they do ours.
Yes the internet is ruining your culture & movie & record companies, but think how many musicians should have gotten major exposer & how many musicians that suck that have made millions just by radio stations playing the garbage & brain washing you to like it by playing so much. The internet is what real freedom is about. GO f yourself, let the real talent have a shit at what you people have controlled for years.
I think it's kinda sad the way Nancy Grace ruins the lifes of the parents of these people. She made that ignorant traitor Lenorad Pedias a star, he was supposed to help the Kacy Anthony & yes she I think she is a sick person & should go down. But does anybody see how desperate & stupid Nancy G looks for giving this hillbilly the fame they have. Now he will make millions of books. He doesn't care about finding the kid it's been about the money the whole time.
The internet is ruining the control the goverments have over new generations of people, but allot of the information is false & lies just like the media puts it out. People don't realize without the super powers of the US & Europe then they wouldn't even exsist beecause if the US didn't pay for the bombs or have of formed together then it would have been taken over by way more evil goverments that people think the US is.
A rather smart man. Who I have heard of through the internet before I read any of his books. He has way better views on culture and the artist and technology.
Were being stupid with the crap being posted on You Tube. The internet is a great tool, but we trust to much of what people say is the truth. Most of this is bullshit and half baked. We are doomed as an American society. Were too politically correct and becoming pussies. We don't stand up as Americans. We pull prayer from church, "In God We Trust" from our money. We allow illegals into the US and then give them handouts, taking away from those legal/deserving citizens
It is only ignorant and idiotic when we take here-say as fact and reputable evidence. These are ultimately opinions. But if these opinions inspire one to do research, then I can congradulate you.You can not trust mass media anymore than you can trust internet blogs and wikipedia. So you must read and you must do research if you want to find any truth to what you find on television or the internet.
the cure for apathy is comprehension. Don't trust this country...when shit goes down this month... don't say u weren't warned. The nwo is coming. And martial law is already here... bill being passed end of last month!
This Is all part of internet censorship that fucking crook Joe lieberman is apart of, that sellout motherfucker,this is part of the veil the Goverment is trying to put over your eyes,to keep you from knowing the truth,and keep you from any kind of Critical thinking such this video and makeing a informed Decision

I thought this guy was gonna be a jerk when I saw the title, but he's actually brought up a few points.
However, there are a lot of people on youtube who are entertaining, like Dom Fera, and the Abridged makers. And I have no problem with mediocrety. This is America, afterall. You have a right to freedom of creativity.
CNN,Fox,CBS and other Jewish Zionist owned TV channels are ruining America with mind control. Thanks to the internet a lot of fairly intelligent people in the world know about this USSR-like Mind control which is going on. Same technique was applied in Jewish controlled Soviet Russia where people were exposed exclusively to the "Prawda", which was supposed to be the "Truth".
He's just mad cause ppl are finally having independent thought---who cares about professional opinons..Literacy?? why doest he write a fuc&*( book about the government pull backs in the school system.
Like the experts on FOXnews and mainstream media? No, we get personal accounts of events, we get personal opinions that are not shelved as fact. We get conspiracy theories and religious seperatists and the only things filtered out is gratuitous sex. Cry me a river you if think that is an inaccurate representation of non-virtual reality. People talk, now we aren't restricted to speaking to those immediately next to use for our information.
"infatuated with our own opinions"? Is this guy serious? He is literally telling us we should not formulate our own opinions, just reflect that of what experts tell us. I don't think it's undermining our culture, I think it's redefining it. While an increasingly monopolistic medium like Fox news tells you what Rupert Murdoch wants you to know, everyday ordinary people on youtube simply cannot be bought. The media is supposed to by by and for the people, and now we are one step closer.
"The beauty of mainstream media is that you have editors, you have gatekeepers, who are relatively objective, who are professional, who ensure the majority of the news..."
The internet is the largest database of free information weather it be fact or fiction its up to ppl to decide that, why is everyone so hell bent on being told what to do? this guy is just a tool and has absolutely no idea what he is talking about. And blame illiteracy on the school systems, some of the most intelligent ppl ive met were home schooled.
This is scary. Nothing can be farther from the truth here. The media is allowed to tell you only certain things by the government. We dont get it ALL from them by any means.
Truth is: dont beleive EVERYTHING you hear, ANYWHERE, do the research yourself.
But the government is very threathened by the internet. It can not regulate it like they can the media.
What alphabet network is this jerk working for and being paid by? Their just ticked off because their ratings are going down the drain, thanks to the internet and YouTube!
Yes but if you research carefully through the internet you will find the right answers which expose the distortion of the Media and the political spectrum. In addition recently declassified documents have been made available to the people where before it was censored. "Professionals." "Experts." Gods? Reader be vigilant. Listener beware. Andrew Keens clearly has an agenda.
What he really means is that the "old boy network" has come to an end at last thanks to us ordinary people being able to talk to each other without TV twisting our words into hatred for each other. We've been lied to by the "professionals" since the first priest existed. When we saw through him, they created another priest (politician) followed by another (scientist). All liars. The first rule of war is to break the enemy's line of communication, that's what TV did to us. And we're back.........
WHAT AN IDIOT YOU ARE.you put this on youtube yourself.

We need to avoid DRM(digital rights management) bills, rootkits and regional lockout videos from being passed by legislations.
Please pay careful attention to bills passed down by congress that the MPAA and RIAA(examples) favour and infringe on our rights

'Listen to professionals - who know how to collect the news.'
Does he mean the controlled press & TV that regularly present one-sided propaganda?
Judging by the distortion of facts by governments, TV channels, newspapers, MPs etc, he must never actually watch TV if he is under the misapprehension that they are unbiased.

The internet is based on voluntary exchange. Those who say they know what's best for others, either through "professional opinion" or some other form of elitism, have every right to say what they say, but like the "fraud[s]" he is talking about, everyone should be weary of unsubstantiated opinion. Wikipedia is usually cited very effectively, and if it isn't, it probably isn't something to be taken for fact, but that should be the users discretion, not the "government" as he proposes.

Keen has some points. Creative Professionals are hurt by Internet amateurs. It's easy to get news from a blog, but bloggers are not journalists, they're gossipy, biased & don't necessarily hold to a standard of journalistic ethics (Will they "out" a source? Will they report names of teen rape victims?) And blogs are biased.
But Keen forgets that the Mainstream Media is biased, too, and that bloggers act as watchdogs. (Dan Rather's faked Bush docs, for ex.) And the Net does democratize info.

He just said, "Don't think, let the professionals do it for you." 2:00 for what I'm talking about. 0.0
BTW I refuse to let the prof.s think for me, I'm a human being. God gave me a brain AND I WILL USE IT.

Yes but if you research carefully through the internet you will find the right answers which expose the distortion of the Media and the political spectrum. In addition recently declassified documents have been made available to the people where before it was censored. "Professionals." "Experts." Gods? Reader be vigilant. Listener beware. Andrew Keens clearly has an agenda.

What he really means is that the "old boy network" has come to an end at last thanks to us ordinary people being able to talk to each other without TV twisting our words into hatred for each other. We've been lied to by the "professionals" since the first priest existed. When we saw through him, they created another priest (politician) followed by another (scientist). All liars. The first rule of war is to break the enemy's line of communication, that's what TV did to us. And we're back.........
