Why single out legacy media for this specifically? This isn't something newer media is better at.

Many popular podcasts would show the video, or pull up fact-checking in real time. If that's what you mean by "newer media" I would say it's 10x better. Reuters is legacy media, hence why I mentioned legacy media.

  Linking the publishing source is needed too. So many videos get reposted and mislabeled. Like basically any rocket attack I assume happened in like 2006 and between completely different belligerents than whatever a post claims at this point

    "Podcast" is now a generic term that covers any "talking head"-type Internet show, most of which are on YouTube.

      Well nobody asked me before changing the meaning! And by the way, a “selfie” can only have one person in it, and a “video” is something on MTV. Don’t get me started on “hack.”

    There's this modern trend to call a bunch of people staring around a table a podcast. Whether they have cameras or not... It annoys me too but I'm young enough to tolerate the kids on my lawn...

    “Video podcasts” have been a thing since at least 2009, I worked at Libsyn back then and we hosted a bunch of them.

      What's the difference between a "video podcast" and a "talk show"?
      - steveklabnik 2y ago
        A video podcast is distributed over RSS like any other podcast, unlike a talk show which is distributed via television. Additionally there are far more genres of podcast than one or two talking heads. I wouldn’t call a Dungeons and Dragons podcast a talk show, video or audio.

        > Additionally there are far more genres of podcast than one or two talking heads. I wouldn’t call a Dungeons and Dragons podcast a talk show, video or audio. That's fine with me. In that case, what's the difference between a "video podcast" and a "show"? > A video podcast is distributed over RSS like any other podcast, unlike a talk show which is distributed via television. Both of these are obviously false; podcasts need not be distributed by RSS and talk shows need not be distributed by television. Most obviously, radio is well known for the number of talk shows that are distributed over it. Next, podcasts tend to be distributed by providing download links on a web page. Then, talk shows are defined by their content and are distributed via any and all video channels; here's one I follow on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUUc-rp7o3g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUUc-rp7o3g That particular video involves asking three guests to discuss the differences between chopsticks in each of their home countries. What would you call it?

I find that most people who criticize legacy media as a monolith are angry at it because it doesn’t meet their own political leanings. I certainly rank legacy media well above 99% of the drivel on social media and podcasts. But I think it is in fashion to only surround yourself by news sources which confirm your (or my) personal bias. I’m certainly not immune to it, but I read multiple sources from right, left, and center and try to pluck out the truth.

  I explicitly said why I think legacy media sucks. They fail to show primary sources. I find that most people who criticize people who criticize legacy media are angry that they don't meet their own political leanings.
