 Yo I was debating on making a video about this Andrew Yang media blackout, but even if this is a short video I gotta make it because we gotta spread some awareness about what mainstream media is doing because it's getting absolutely silly. What is up everybody this is Chris from the Rewired Soul where we talk about the problem but focus on the solution and if you're new to my channel what I try to do take different topics going on in pop culture or the youtube community or in the world in general and try to see what lessons we can learn from them so if you're into that stuff make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell and if you're not yet make sure you follow me on social media at the Rewired Soul over on instagram and twitter all right so let's get down to it let's talk about my man Andrew Yang okay like so when the first round of democratic debates happened and I've mentioned this before um Andrew Yang in both debates actually had the least amount of talking time but in the first debate not long after it came out that his mic was getting cut off all right and it's like okay you know what mistakes happen all right maybe there was some kind of technical error right but I keep seeing like it trending on twitter and other places like this Andrew Yang media blackout and it's absolutely ridiculous so if you pay attention to mainstream media right even liberal leaning media like they do have their biases all right and I think all media outlets are going to have those but you know the bigger the organization I feel that it should be a little bit more well rounded like something my my beautiful girlfriend Tristan and I were talking about the other day is everybody has bias like being objective like it is a difficult situation like even scientists all right they have to have peer reviewed studies just to check their own biases all right so they're gonna happen and I don't have a huge problem with that like people reporting on you know the debates or the upcoming elections and the candidates are gonna have their own biases they're all they're gonna have their own favorites and things like that but what is happening to Andrew Yang is absolutely silly all right so last night on twitter Andrew Yang tweets this out I did the hashtag math looks like NBC may have miscounted like you guys are seeing this correct this says 10 candidates okay the 10 candidates and there's only nine on there and you're just like oh oh come on like like I've worked for many organizations where you know we do things you know that involve like internet content and you will get ripped just for even having like grammatical errors in things so like the fact that something goes up on NBC where it says 10 candidates and only shows nine people like I don't get how that even makes it through because typically at these organizations it has to go through different people to be put out there but the next thing that Andrew Yang tweeted was sometimes honest mistakes happen but NBC and MSNBC seem to admit me on the regular uh Scott Santons has a fun compilation here are a few examples in each case I was pulling at the same level or higher than the last person listed or I would have been next in line so as you're seeing right here this is another one we're showing nine out of the 10 people but I think it's also important to realize that Andrew Yang is pulling better than some of the other candidates right so here's why I think this is ridiculous Andrew Yang is exploding on social media and I don't know if mainstream media is just that out of touch but I feel like it's actually helping Andrew Yang and I dig the dude so it's like you go boy but but the fact that they're like kind of suppressing him is getting him even more attention we see that happen all the time what's it called the the barbers dry sand effect right where you don't want people to know about something and then it just gets even more exposure like so I don't know what the motives behind it are like I try not to be too cynical like I don't know if they're purposely trying to you know suppress Andrew Yang but if they are it is working in the exact opposite way so as far as just my personal opinions on candidates I've mentioned this before like my ranking is like Bernie and then Yang like that'd be a dope president vice president in my opinion if you want to let me know your favorite candidates down below we can but I plan on doing more videos and following like the the debates that are coming up um and all that like something that I'm always looking out for and I urge everybody to do this is like find the things that really matter to you and listen to people's policies about it right like not everything is going to affect you but find the ones that do matter to you or even to your community or friends and family like my big things are mental health and addiction right but the last thing I want to talk about is something that I am just trying to beat into everybody's head is this do your own research and be an independent thinker all right like I've covered many topics on my channel about youtubers and commentary channels and drama channels and news channels like listen like don't even take my word for anything like feel free to fact check me we are all fallible human beings but I think this media blackout of Andrew Yang is a prime example of how you can't always trust what you're seeing but the thing is and this is just my opinion in this fast paced society that we live in now where we're just constantly being bombarded with information we've we've turned into headline readers we just kind of like glance and skim things like I'm guilty of this too so please do your own research because these things happen like there are many people out there who might not even know that Andrew Yang exists and then when the debates come up they're like oh all right but whenever you're hearing stories about people in the news or in the media or on youtube like do your own research like don't just blindly believe everything that you're here don't let other people's opinions give you your opinion you might agree with somebody but make sure you're coming to your own conclusion all right I've been talking a lot about cancel culture and mob mentality but like this is part of crowd psychology when we keep hearing or seeing the same things over and over and over again it changes the way we view a topic and it might be completely irrational all right so be an independent thinker and do your own research all right but anyways if you have any theories about why this Andrew Yang media blackout is happening let me know down in the comments down below because it just doesn't make sense like you got 10 just put 10 up there baby all right but anyways don't forget follow me on social media at the rewired soul over on instagram and twitter and if you liked this video please give it a thumbs up if you're new make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell
