    The news reporter wanted a feel good puff piece regardless of how inappropriate it is. The interviewee wanted to report the actual news.

    It really makes you wonder how these reporters are trained. What else can they not talk about on air?

    She was trying to do a fluff piece interview, and he was trying to drop hard facts. I’m glad he didn’t back down on his points.

      Haven’t watched it but sounds like someone with strong convictions and an idea why things are the way they are. Hopefully eventually enough people recognize the fact that we need a functional society that allows the random person to feel comfortable. Cause if you get enough itchy people things get scratched.

          30 seconds of sound when you’re pooping on the toilet at work, is 30 seconds too much sound. Hypothetically speaking.

          Pretty much I don’t care for random audio, I prefer text articles or comments to get the jist of things. I actually hate noise unless it’s for entertainment or another person (well sometimes I don’t care for that but polite society and all).

          A 30 second video would be a nice short article.

    Crazy how fast she pulled back on that. Like she has been trained to not allow that sort of talk. It was almost instant.

      she smiles like the woman from ba sing se,

      the back in the 90s part screams body language of desperation to signal to him to play along and say what she wants him to say.

    As unhinged as social media gets, this is pretty much why so many end up trusting it over traditional media. The internet broke the veil of commercial reporting/journalism - media in general. Broke the trust on accepting public personas and not being suspicious of them behind the scenes. Sell out reporters/journalist/artists/etc are like scabs to labor strikers

    If the fediverse can focus on integrating content from from other fediverse sources extremely organically, the fediverse will win. I shouldn’t have to leave Lemmy to watch this video.

      Are there some federated video sites? Most of the video results in duckduckgo are hosted by the tech giants, would be cool if there was some alternatives

        PeerTube is the biggest player for fediverse video as far as I know. There is also Loops, which is where this video is hosted.

      Did you have to leave on .world? I didn’t have to on my instance, but I don’t know exactly how all that works.

      In this case I’d say it’s especially good for the sake of loops rather than lemmy. Loops is quite a small platform, and looking at it now, this post has 23 likes and 2 comments. But two posts I’ve seen on lemmy, totaling ~800 upvotes and ~45 comments.

      Seems like pulling that info into loops would make it all feel much more lively, though I’m sure this isn’t insight to the already busy loops creator!
