Stop Giving The Media Prestige

In this analysis, Mr. Watson argues that many prestigious media organizations shouldn't be regarded as such on the basis of their names. Oftentimes, many political observers are cajoled into granting credibility to certain arguments or to the portrayal of certain events simply because a "credible" news organization reported it in a certain way. Indeed, even an opinion piece that emerges from the New York Times's pages is given more weight than one from a lower-tiered publication.

But Mr. Watson argues that we are all looking at the wrong metric. Accusations of fake news do abound, but "fake news" is simply created by the public having a superficial metric by which they engage with the truth. And in this video, Mr. Watson exposes precisely what the metric is, why it's incoherent, and how to move beyond its use.
