Russell Brand: How To Combat The Bias Distorting ALL Mainstream Media

Is the media liberal or conservative? And what's the one underlying cause that drives ALL mainstream media bias? Russell Brand provides the answer in this section of Brand's one-on-one interview with The Young Turks' Cenk Uygur.

[Thuud]

The media should be as diverse as the people it serves.

"The bias of each form of communication is far more distorting than a deliberate lie" -Marshall McLuhan "The media is the message."
We all should look back and read what this prolific man wrote in the 70s.

[Lucuskane]

Educate the people from a young age to think critically(maybe if the internet remains free, this generation has a chances to make a liberal society, maybe).

Love Trews! Love TYT! So glad this happened!

[Smokey]

More of Russell Brand please, I'm curious of what he has to say.

[TeraByteify]

Where is the full thing as opposed to minute long clips?

[LizziesKindaBeast]

I like that he's giving his opinion. So many public figures are careful with every word that leaves their mouth for fear of pissing people off but Brand doesn't give a crap xD

[DeepSpaceNinja]

News should be information presented in pure form WITHOUT opinions and debate.

Show people what happened and let them make up their own mind.

[tesca]

Love Russell Brand, good idea getting him on.

[broncosfan]

so people are letting their opinion of russell take away from the fact that that he makes a great point and obviously knows what he talking about.

[IAMNOTWILDCAT]

The more I hear Russel, the more I feel that he's a hidden genius...

[Desertphile]

"Is the media liberal or conservative?"

Is there any country that has a liberal new media?

[MrTheknowabout]

next time do Russel brand, vice news and young turks.

[bat]

Things will never change unless we are willing to die for what we believe in. 

[anironiccoolness]

What's funny is that he is spreading the anarchist agenda without actually self describing himself as such.

[sirellyn]

The actual reason why the media is considered liberal is based on both the stated and assumed actions for problems.

Nearly every problem entertained is then passed off as something "the government should do something about".
This is very liberal thinking.

Vs. maybe someone or a indepenent group is combating this.  We need more of that.  There are stories like this of course, but they tend to be much more rare.  1/20 to 1/50 if you care to count.

The latter is effectiveness based, and empowers people.  (Here's something that worked, try it if like.)

The former is assumption based, and is only based on group consensus. 

The annoying aspect is even "conservative" centers like Fox operate like this.

[Oshyrath]

I'm I the only one who's like WHOA! RUSSELL BRAND!

[rollando]

Liberal means to express new ideals and to change. I don't see why anyone would be against that

[RealDomPirate]

Wow so many people being racist to try and say other people's opinions don't matter way to use your intelligence to persuade ... o wait

It's in the TYT interviews channel.
