That's a weird way for a station to react.

Almost like they don't actually wanna talk about real problems.

She visibly flinches when he mentions private equity. Its like the news station has repeat training classes for employees on banned topics.

He gets every award out there. This is amazing.

Private equity:

• Rental buildings are bought by these companies and filled (or not) for Air BNB, luxury housing, etc. This leaves no affordable housing.
• They price fix the shit out of these locations through rental software.
• Prices rarely go down, and if they do, it's not much.
• They push for a building frenzy so they can park their money and rent out the bottom floor. Doesn't matter if some homes are empty if the price doesn't go down and you're price fixing.
• Won't let you work from home because it fucks with all of the above.
• Only beholden to the people who are in the club, they can do what they want with no repercussions.

First time I see a Loops.video link in the wild. Looks and behaves quite good!

I love when they do this because it saves us the effort of determining legitimacy. It shows how they really feel. It removes the pomp and circumstance of pretending to be real news. But I’m done reiterating my point 3 times. We have the fake news our orange pedophile always wanted. His only success.

absolute shame.

Can't let people say the truth, it would inconvenience your masters.

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.

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

Legend. Came back to his point with a friendly smile, and plenty of grace

A+ for staying on message.

She pulled back the microphone mid sentence when he refused to let the conversation get derailed.

Very sus

To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.

They better never interview me on live TV. Ill be asking the reporter where they will be hiding when the revolution comes.

She knows exactly what she is doing. She probably wouldn't even get into any trouble if she had let the guy go on for a bit since it is just a random, live interview. Doesn't matter, though, as boot-fellating, spittle-licking toadies will instantly and hungrily provide cover for the owner class. There will always be a critical mass of just about every demographic (even those you would not expect it from) who will be willing to sell out for that payday. If she doesn't try to silence or steamroll any even remotely anti-greed rhetoric she might be passed over for that next promotion.

Shout out to Washington Heights. I used to live at Fort Washington and 181st. I miss it.

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

Basically trying to nostalgia bait people but buddy saw right through it and went in for the kill.

-"Mmhmm, so private equity owns..."

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.

And this is why legacy media is legacy media.

Can someone federate it?

Sounds like NBC needs to study and read socialist theory. Seriously! https://redsails.org/

This guy is my hero

Amazing

I wonder what New York would have been if Henry George had become mayor back then
