Since the fall of, essentially, "monopoly journalism" with the rise of competition on tv, and then the internet, the main way to make media money is to produce content that people want to consume. These days, that usually means producing content that's political in-sync with viewers.
It's lead us all to here but has also given an opportunity for people to find an audience that wants to get smarter.
I’ve been loving the videos! I’m a history major with the aspiration of becoming lawyer. It would be amazing to get a behind-the-scenes peek at your research method. Specifically, how you breakdown an issue so methodically into key pillars and compile such rock solid evidence to explain each tenet. All of us, regardless of our career aspirations could really benefit from your methodology and viewpoint as a seasoned journalist. Looking forward to an India-Pakistan video 😉 (been commenting this on his videos on YouTube lol)
I have an editor who I work with, but research wise, I spend a lot of time going back and forth with AI.
I first prompt it with a large set of instructions, explaining my channel and showing some of my past scripts. The biggest challenge is to not have it default to "the narrative" -- the generally accepted discussion that can too often leave out information and points of view. It's generally conservative position or anything that might offend, so I push it to go past that.
After some exchanges and me giving it specifics to include, I'll have ChatGPT generate one of their Deep Research docs, which is usually a 10-15k research docs that I'll read and highlight. As I'm writing, I usually find more questions that I'll give to ChatGPT or Perplexity. Then some final fact-checking passes at the end.
I've been following your videos, great work! Keep it up, Ken.
Thanks, Ted! I've always appreciated your well-thought out commentary here.
When your videos make me smile? I keep watching.
When your videos make me angry? I make myself keep watching.
I watch your videos and try to learn or at least understand why we agree or disagree.
Your videos make me think ( and that hurts my brain😱🤦🏻♂️🙄)
Your videos help me to not just spout off talking points to boost my political preferences.
That was a lotta words for my thumbs to type on this tiny screen all in an effort to say Thank you for your posts and videos 😁👍
Thanks so much for this, Scott!
