Sometimes I question this also

He's the only one who does this show, videos that he isn't in are different shows

@@rz1974 Actually, if you look into the video section of Beme there are other videos from other people. Lou does the Beme News It's Lou. You can be fooled when you see Beme popup saying there is a new video and Lou isn't there, it's someone else reporting (in the field not at the desk).

@@Cpm5481 yes but while they are on the same channel they are different shows

Unbiased is he wrong term. Nuanced definitely, but I feel like Beme is wearing its bias on its sleeve and acknowledges the full argument from alternative perspectives. The idealist dream of unbiased news was never real, the best we can hope for is honest bias.

@@TheBloodyloon Ow wow, never really thought about it that way. I'd agree with you, well said.

@@Kevin-ps5wq I'm glad you thought so. If you want some more material on this, Google journalistic objectivity. Here is a link from a source I like: www.medialit.org/reading-room/news-beyond-myth-objectivity

While I think yang is great it's hard to say he outright has the "best" policies.

Unless they're evidence-based. So yeah, you may be partially correct. Although you'll observe that some candidates surge a bit or tank, after a given debate

@@j_ckal How high is the monthly contribution/fee for you? 🤔

It wasnt the only factor he mentioned, it got outweighted... I really shouldnt have to tell you this

@@Jonny-hm3iz 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ You must be fun at parties

@@TheDetherageDialect i may have gotten you wrong

@@Jonny-hm3iz it was a joke... I really shouldn't have to tell you this (;

@@samkeefer4898 wasnt too clear you genius ;)

Casey neistat sold it to CNN along with his employees. CNN now continue to make videos via BEME

This was a cheap jab that didn't make sense. Change my mind's purpose is to create civil discussion between opposing viewpoints.

FlezzDurjis I’m good with it.

Tanner Wilson it takes time to travel this huge country and hear what specific concerns the various regions and peoples have

@@iheartlreoy8134 No country on earth even comes close to having nearly 2 year elections on a non stop time table. Canada for example which is just as big or even bigger (depending on who you talk to) only has election timetables for about 3-4 months. Some around the world are even shorter, the UK election time tables only get about 6-8 weeks for official election seasons. It's a joke in the USA.

Tanner Wilson yeah and the difference is the president is much more important in American politics than the prime minister is in the uk or Canada. The pm is beholden to the party making the institution much more important, the president has a lot more discretion and shortening the election time won’t do anything

And that's why we have Trump. The voters can't focus on anything but a fly.

well, at least you're honest.

Maybe you're just now paying attention to it. I've heard it all my life. But in my case, the word "yikes" seems to be everywhere now, but I know the word has been used for a long time.

Yeah, deep sigh.

Jeremy Turner it would just be biased to whomever is fact checking. Best just to leave it all out so we can decide on our own we don’t need anything curated to a specific bias

IHEartLReoy bias facts? That doesn't make sense to me. Facts are facts. I don't think candidates should be able to lie or give half truths on television without any consequence. Hell just let the opposite party fact check the opposite candidate with their sources if that's a concern

Jeremy Turner are you afraid you can’t tell what’s true and not true? Why do you need information curated for you aren’t you an adult

IHEartLReoy I'm not worried about myself since I'm interested in politics and spend more time researching than most. However many are not interested and get their news from 1 to 2 sources that are echo chambers and are easily manipulated into believing what they want to believe. You'd be surprised how many people in my family are shocked when I say the muleler report did not exonerate trump of all wrong doing like he and Barr said it did. I had to show them a video of mueller himself saying if trump was innocent he would have stated it in the report for them to believe me

Jeremy Turner This is a bad idea because like the other guy pointed out it could get biased

He is far from perfect, it would've been better without the public standing around to calm the inner ego we all have. But I think his goal is noble, a conversation and discussion between peers of which direction our society should go in.

Damn. I was worried about that

Lou is left wing that's why, their puppet

I criticize the networks and CNN specifically in this piece. If I sought comment from one, I'd have to seek comment from all. That would be untenable for this script, and frankly they'd all be generic and meaningless statements anyway. I speak up when I have opportunities. I'm a little confused by your general sentiment here though. I'd get the criticism if I pulled punches and didnt point out how cnn has contributed to these issues. And as you know from watching these episodes, this isnt an interview show format.

Louis Foglia to what degree does cnn your parent company contribute in bemes content?

I pick topics, do research, conduct interviews, write script, and get notes from my Beme team. We then send scripts to folks at CNN who assist with factchecking. Usually it amounts to something like - you said its 19%, but the study says 20%...you misquoted this paper....you misused this word. Because we label these as "analysis" i have a good amount of leeway.

What about the criticism of CNN in this piece?

My main issue is that Peterson has said numerous times that the most advisable strategy in a debate is to come to a mutually agreeable conclusion for both parties. To use the least amount of force necessary and to regard your "opponent" as someone who has something to teach you. I think this video sums up his thoughts on debates quite well : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rL6RhK-FnbyaY2w.html The tweet by Peterson you used was in rebuttal to a hit piece by Ira Wells which spent a long time trying to attack him, it's not that fair to use that tweet without some context. With that being said, I don't think you're characterization of Crowder and Shapiro are that far off and like you, I get annoyed at the "debate me bro" persona. However, I have seen a few long form discussions with Crowder and Shapiro that have been somewhat civil and fruitful. With regards to your self criticism, it's welcome, but to me it falls somewhat flat after your mischaracterization of Peterson. It seems like a tactic you are using to come off as unbiased but in reality you're just covering your bases so you don't have to take the immediate flack anyone could levy had they realized that CNN profits greatly over the very thing you're criticizing, all while forming the narrative against right wing figures. Ultimately, I still enjoy this channel a lot and I am thankful you took the time to read and reply to my comment.

@@happilyconfuseddog8951 i think you're focusing a little too much on a tweet we flashed on the screen. To think that I wrote a 1700 word piece to disguise a subtle dig at Peterson is a little strange. From what I've seen of Peterson, he always comes off as needlessly aggressive. Thats my perspective, which you can disagree with. Thanks for watching and for your thoughtful reply. I'm always a little miffed when people attack my association with CNN - as if my content looks anything like what they usually do. Ive spent the better part of 100 episodes demonstarting how I think and see the world. Can't you trust my intentions by now, if not my conclusions?
