You’re watching Fox News. You just don’t know it. 

Thanks for watching Strikethrough! To see more of Carlos Maza's work, check out his new independent channel at ru-vid.com/show-UC8l1OH0DOYARGUTrqAcWW2w

Journalist aren't supposed to Gatekeep, you're meant to report facts even if you don't agree with them.

I get my news from The Onion. It's way more realistic than mainstream media.

And thats how I realised the real solution: don't watch cable news

for someone watching from germany.... the news in general in the us feels like a soap opera

I only get my news from the most reliable news source... wii news

I think us non Americans should all appreciate our governments a lot more after watching the mess happening in the USA

brought to you by the people that think John Oliver is a journalist

I've never seen so many people completely miss the point of a video.

Disingenuous and no sense of self. Activism is not journalism.

The pot calling the kettle black. Embarrassing.

Thanks to this video, I just watched a bunch of fox news.

“Wait it’s all Fox News” “Always has been”

“Political parties will divide this nation”-George Washington

LMAO. "I watch real news, like CNN, MSNBC, and Young Turks". LMAO

Vox, cheers on gatekeeping in 2019... shocker. Gatekeeping- noun -the activity of controlling, and usually limiting, general access to something.

I find it hilarious that every single republican FLOCKED to this seeing the title 🤦‍♂️

It's like every republican came to defend fox news in the comments when they saw the title smh

"There's no equivalent on the left." CNN, MSNBC and Literally all the other ones: Am I a joke to you?

“THANK GOD FOR FOX NEWS”, Fox News.

Remember the time when Fox News did a cover story on Obama's selfie stick.

I got an ad for Ben Shapiro lmao

A lot of people don’t seem to understand what “gatekeeping” is in the comments; so let’s clear this up. Gatekeeping doesn’t mean launching or a cover up or hiding stories. It’s a reaction to the fact that consumers can consume a finite amount of information in a day. For the thought experiment, let’s say the average person will read about five articles in one day. Suddenly, what is the topic of that article, not even what the article says, becomes hugely important. Gatekeeping means making a judgement call about you’re organization writes about and therefore what is most likely to be the topic of those five articles. For example, let’s use the Jesse Jackson scandal with pictures of Farrakhan in the 90s (so we get some distance). Good gatekeeping might realize that Farrakhan is a legitimately controversial figure and publish one article about the controversy a long with news about the early 90s recession, some coverage of Saddam Hussein and a few other things. It’s worthwhile, but a lot of things are important and deserve attention. Bad gatekeeping would be publishing three articles at once and another one every day for the rest of year, pushing out room for other important news btw. Then, just because these articles are constantly being published, and also we as readers pick up that it’s being prioritized over other stories, like say the economy, this story becomes HUGE, not even huge but domineering. Maybe the articles are about the controversial things Farrakhan has said, maybe it’s about how he makes money off of his position as a religious leader. All legitimately heinous things but also not more important than a nation wide recession which is now being pushed aside because most people read five articles a day and now two are about Farrakhan and all the other important world events have to squeeze into three (which obviously they can’t). More information is not always a good thing. It’s always important to be able to filter out bad or irrelevant information too. If you’ve ever gotten in a conversation with someone who goes on about the latest “superfood” and now spends too much money for, idk beet juice, then you’ve seen the results of what happens when we can’t filter information effectively.

Jokes on you, I only watch the Onion Edit: glad I can be the top comment on such a contraversal video. I hope we can learn from this.

I tried watching Fox recently, turns out I'm allergic to bulls***.

I just spent an hour reading the comments. Now my legs are numb and I can't get off the toilet. I blame RU-vid.

Didnt you write an article about how CNN and MSNBC cover stories completley different than fox?

ITT: people who don't understand the difference between the technical definition of "gatekeeping" used in journalism vs. the layman definition.

My news comes from the most reliable ,The almighty - Onion News network.

The Trumpsters are all over this one.

I am always amazed at these American TV news excerpts. How can TV news be so emotional, biased, polarizing and uninformative? It's a night and day difference compared to German TV news. And how can many people really use this as a source of information and opinion-formation? It all seems more like an entertainment show to get you to watch even more "news".

Vox: Complains about people watching or creating focus around fox news. also Vox: Makes an entire video about fox news. Someone at Vox didn't think this one through very well.

Biden needs to kick things off by wearing a tan suit on inauguration day. That will keep Fox News busy and distracted for a few months.

There is some much haters here seems like it's a pretty sensitive subject. Maybe American like to be manipulate, I don't know cause they fight so much for their rights but give up the right to have healthy clean news

The fact that so many other news sources take Fox News is deeply concerning

I think it’s safe to say Fox are more partisan. When the biggest faces of Fox News speak at Trump rallies and urge people to vote republican, sometimes even on air, there’s definitely an issue. Or when they cover house races and call every democrat a “do nothing liberal” and every republican “an American patriot”

Me: I cancelled my cable TV subscription for good. I won't have to face Fox News anymore. Vox on RU-vid: F O X N E W S

I'm in the EU and was always baffled by the bs that gets mainstream attention in the US

I will give you this. I respect that the comments are still turned on.

I think The Onion accidentally posted this.

I have thought about this before. I remember all the times CNN puts clips of Fox news. But have never seen Fox put clips of CNN

For the last 4 years as a non-American , I though Vox and Fox news were the same and was suprised you did a video critising yourself , then today I learned that the two are diffrent and that for a long time , I was thinking of this as a sort of a masohist media company that hates itself

I gave up watching US news 3 years ago. I pretty much stick to BBC, France 24 and Deutsche Welle. I love their perspective on how stupid we are in the US. And NO FOX NEWS!

Replace FOX with CNN and replace Right with Left and you are left with the same results.

Pov: you came to see the civil war on the commentaries

I love that the guy at 8:10 is just miming the words “Oh My God” like 10 times.

So, you're either the pot or the kettle, you choose.

Gatekeeping: one of the most important things that journalists do yup

Fox News: let's have Tucker talk about Racist Trees..

The term gatekeeping has a different definition on social media, in LGBT Facebook groups, and in fan culture than it does for news companies.

real questions why aint nobody talking about yemen?

I've never even noticed how much replay Fox gets. Thank you so much for making me aware. I will now pay attention to this.

73k people are lost to the dark side

So what's the difference between Fox being a front group for the Repubs, and CNN, MSNBC, Vox, Vice, etc, being a cheer squad for the Dems? Canadian asking.

Guys, you missed the mark. April Fool's Day was 2 months ago.

I hope you americans are enjoying your "democracy"

I hate the news. I lose IQ points every time I tune in.

I am a trucker and I see fox news on at 98% of the TVs at truck stops. I always turn my back or leave and eat in my truck.

In Sociology, this is called "The Definition of the Situation" theory.

You can bash fox all you want, but look at cnn and msnbc...im sick of all of them. Fox is over conservative....cnn has been lying to us about trump for over 2 years. Im sick of them ALL.

People whining about this video don't understand what gatekeeping means

4:32 “there’s no equivalent to this on the left” CNN, NPR, Vox, WSJ, etc..

Thanks god im not an American. Smash like of your Europe gang

"No equivalent of this on the left", says the equivalent of fox news on the left.

72K Republicans disliked this.

Aren't you guys doing the same exact thing??😂😂

"There's no equivalent of this on the left.".....really dare I say CNN

Well, in an ideal world there would be more than two political parties that matter.

Don't forget, this guy tried to silence people for having an opinion about him he didn't like

"Ahh, that pleases me" LMAO

You’re telling me CNN doesn’t do political media? LMFAO

I actually watch Korean Central Television for news.

This is gold coming from VOX lol

Here is why you need the news to be selective: When every news channel is focused on a story just because it is popular that is bad reporting unless that story is actually more than some click worthy story. It is like spending everyday making articles about the Watergate scandal the moment one channel mentions that it could be a real issue or the investigation is announced and even if there nothing to actually report. They didn’t do that and left the man alone to face his investigation at first because there were more important things, like economic recessions to cover. Now the smearing starts and the news can’t talk about anything else. (Well mostly the Republican Party. The Democrats don’t endless spew on about Donald being ignorant every time he slips up since that is harmful to good news even if it is true!) Stuff like Donald seeming to not know what the Paris agreement is doesn’t need to be covered by every news channel (unlike bigger stories) unless you are directly smearing the guy and it wasn’t. There are better stories that actually have people who would be interested in them that don’t need to be toxic (as most political media ends up being through selectivity and partisanship) to get views. These stories just get pushed out of the way a lot of the time because it is easier to pick up the political story being tossed around by other networks even if those non-political stories would also be news-worthy and news networks also feel pressured to cover bad news just to remain relevant. This is why the news needs to vet what it looks at.

Thank you for making me feel better about blocking fox.

A friend of mine says she 'also' watches Fox to get a full perspective. I told her I don't need to watch Fox because they show it on all of the other channels anyway. So, yeah... I noticed this too.

The Onion has better news than MSNBC and CNN!

these people have no sense of self awareness at all 😂😂😂😂😂😂

This video: An attempted explanation of a rhetorical tactic utilized by a specific news organization that was founded as an extension of the RNC’s political campaigns. The top comments: Substanceless dismissives by people who shouldn’t be wasting their time even making the comments in the first place.

Can't wait to see what you think about CNN

CNN exists... Vox : I didn't see that!

Report the news quit being gatekeepers for your opinions

"Am i bleeding again?" IM DEAD

Fox News is to 'Journalism' what 'Battlefield Earth' is to Cinema.

This is the biggest reason I don't watch mainstream news outlets. I try to find other sources and compare the information.

Unsubscribed.

I study Communications Science in Germany and this made me excited to go back to class and study these topics further. Thank you for the motivation, Vox! :) EDIT: I'm amazed how I just said I got motivation from this video to focus on studies and people start going crazy about it. It's ironic how the same effect explained in the video mirrors itself in this situation: an ordinary comment taken out of proportion. Hahah. If you took time to comment this, thanks for your time; but also consider the fact that you know literally nothing about me and you are judging me based upon a thankful comment. It does not mean I'm not critical or that I don't use other sources or even that this is how I think. I just meant that it inspired me to focus on what I've learnt. What's there to hate about that? Food for thought. Have a nice day, everyone! :)

I like how he did not mention CNN

They don't talk about the issues like health, homelessness and cost of living..both only talk about each other

Journalists are not gatekeepers

For those confused about others wondering he talks about news being gatekeepers, he's referring to the fact that news has, first and foremost, a duty to report accurate information. Libel laws exist for a reason, and frankly given how fox news has been acting, and the degree to which they have published inaccurate information, it's been way past time that they have been taken to court for its habitual libel offenses. I'm just glad Washington is finally doing it.

Wow this really made a lot of snowflakes come to defend fox lol i enjoy seeing their tantrums

This is why all news feels like Fox News. This all makes so much sense.

So vox is just gonna act like cnn and msnbc aren’t biased LOL

Fox News is the National Enquirer of broadcasting...I have family members still drinking that deadly Kool-Aid.

I wonder if they'll ever do this sort of analysis on CNN and other news media platforms.

And Vox was created to push left wing nonsense to the mainstream. Everyone can see this

This brings up a difficult point that doesn't really have an answer: How do you prevent something like this happening?

“That’s trying to score Political Points” So basically: “That’s trying to score PP”

Me: Turns on TV TV Program: JOE BIDEN BREAKS HIS SILENCE ON HIS SUXUAL ASSAULT ALLEGATION Me: Goes back to RU-vid
