Love when he stops and preach some truth. And he does it in a way asking you what do you think. Amazing talent with that not many people can get a truth out while making the receiving party stop and think for once.
You mean, between a scoop vs truth?
I love Danzel but, what he said in that clip sounded like my aunt wishing peace in the world as a New Year resolution..
Lmk which point I missed…
What he's talking about is their need to be the first to report and no matter if it is true or not they do it to sell themselves on being the first to report it. So he is calling them out on their need to be first regardless if it's the truth or not. They hurt people with stories and throw out facts
Truth in news reporting should always supersede speed, no matter what.
I realize I not everyone shares that opinion (willfully or not). I guess it depends what news source you frequent..😊
And one other point.
Overt mis-representation of the facts to promote a slanted narrative for 2 reasons and only 2 reasons no mater what is said.
1) Profit $$$
2) Power/Control

So true! We’re living in a post-truth world where it’s all about who says it first / loudest and repeats it the most.
The only way we can fight this war of disinformation is by taking these cases to court to show the damages… as with Alex Jones, Fox News, Giuliani, Trump, and Tommy Robinson.
Punishing damaging lies is important, but so is rewarding the truth. It has to be more profitable than just spewing out whatever so long as it engages. Hard, but necessary.
Denzel is a moron. He has some kernel of truth that he then extrapolates into a generality. He has practiced delivering lines with gravitas, so when he says something people fall for the tone and presume it's intelligent.
Great actor, but a dumbass in interpreting reality
Our media is failing leading to the beginning of the end of democracy. With oligarchs owning social media, TV, NEWS, newspapers we're starting to see lies being told just to be first to profit or to be in control of the power over Americas. Look a Bezos and what he has done to the Washington Post.
He's a treasure. His characters have his integrity, and can also kill seventeen people with a toothpick; but he's plausible with the integrity because he already has it in real life.
A wise, wise man. You could see him mentally editing as he spoke. He was both admonishing and encouraging. He had too much class to just say “ you’re awful, smarten up.”
Oooh. Wait up. You were still being misinformed 50 years ago. Back then, governments only had major networks and newspapers under their direction (only ahahaha). The audience has grown, the misinformation is now more targeted.
Interesting
50 years ago
50 years ago the Watergate breakin & coverup scandal was being reported and tearing down a president
There was misinformation, but also investigative reporting that countered the government line
Misinformation is now created and targeted with no relationship to truth
50 years ago the wealthy had been bullshitting to the plebs for centuries. The grand old Europeans had been bullshitting long before they invaded the Americas and stole it from the natives. You septics didn’t exist.
THIS is one of my all time favorites!!! Denzel is soooo spot on. It was said many years ago, but feels so incredibly relevant right now.
We just lost an election partly bc media didn’t do its job AT ALL. Complete failure & capitulation. Not the guardrail we needed to keep our democracy safe. 🤯

Hate to tell you, that was a major network.
OK, OK...Denzel does make a good point.
