According to an NBC News poll, more than half of Americans say social media does more to divide the country than unite it. NBC News’ Jake Ward and Director of the Polarization Lab at Duke University, Chris Bail, join News NOW to discuss how extreme content is circulated online and the gap between social media and real life.ÂÂ

Hey NBC, what do you view as “extreme� You don’t get to define what is extreme and what isn’t. You called Jan 6th an “insurrection†and constantly lie about everything; I think that’s pretty extreme. So are you “extremist†content? You people certainly aren’t moderate.
ALSO NBC: stalks Rittenhouse Jury Members and repeats false white supremacy allegations
Duke university..ðŸ¤â€
Like NBC isn't contributing too the political divide. Here's an idea: stop brining race into everything and stop promoting hatred based on who someone voted for.Also if COVID is so bad then it should be a public health issue not a political one
zero self awareness
Nazi news
I’m so glad you guys know how to fix my problems
This is the most hypocritical piece of "journalism" I have ever seen in my life. Nobody is more guilty of spreading fear and sowing political division that the mainstream media. Unbelievable.
NBC & MSNBC is the new CCCP network selling fear that any conservative who has a youtube news channel is an extremist… Stop lying to the uninformed. Your ratings and CNN ratings are so low you are the ones with the fear! But yet all lunatic leftists always project what they are guilty of!!! Independent news is ALIVE & FREE! you socialist commies are done! even liberals have had it with your lies and fear mongering. When we all turn off your propaganda and watch youtube the world WILL BE LESS RACISTS!
Libtard social justice theories created this madness in America!
When things backfired on them….they are shock!!
Social media? Yeah, try all media, friend.
The lamestream media is the reason why the adpocalypse happened and why so many creators are being screwed over by censorship.
My gratitude goes to Dr osaba on YouTube who took is time to cure my 4years herpes virus, now am completely
I want to appreciate dr osaba on YouTube for help me get rid of my herpes virus within 18days, my doctor was surprised when I came for test and I was completely cured, my doctor told me their is no cure for herpes virus, Dr osaba has prove to them all that their is a cure
NBC is trying their hardest to get rid of the competition… This whole video is complete BS. The small content creators are getting screwed over because these media corps want to claim they are "Authoritative News" while pushing fake news openly. Waiting for this to get deleted and the comments and like/dislike ratio to be shut off, come on NBC I know you want to!
Does these whackadoos think this is new? 🤣 OrangeManBad has been lied about over & over…and now msm walks back their silencing anyone that disagreed with their lies.
People really need to listen up. This IS a psyop to silence all but one narrative. Its the daughter that is radical left & an extremist. But meh who needs facts when you have narrative. Go follow the violent whackadoos of blm & Pantifa…now thats extremism thats lead to deaths & violence that destroyed POC.
🤣🤣🤣 This is really rich coming from DNC propaganda. How dare people not just drink out of the Leftwingnut Koolaid. But msm is dying & numbers prove it. They lie & push DNC walking orders. Great laugh MSNBC & nbc. Y'all just want to control the narrative. And if Wackadoo is so scared of others opinions, she should stop mooching off her mother. This is pure propaganda horse doodie.
its a conspiracy NBC. are you conspiracy theorists now NBC? ohnonononono~~~
NBC and MSM are the problem. Thank God more people are turning away from MSM.
Far left propaganda. See, I can use NBC’s politician bias as a pejorative also.
Hang your heads in shame MSNBC, you and your other mainstream media buddies are 100% responsible for this
I am left-wing, but not American. NBC News is a very far-left American station. You sell fear all day long, 24-hours a day even. You don't have the morals of news we have in our country.
NBC News is by our standards a gossip magazine gone TV and then tries to go social media. It's pathetic.
You have adults working there so obsessed with a very small narrative just for excitement. I didn't like Trump, didn't like Biden but in America, it swings left to right like a pendulum. You can't hate both. NBC hated Trump, 99% negative Trump. Loves Biden 99% positive Biden.
For NBC the country either goes to horrible failure or goes well depending on if it's right-wing or left-wing. That's called propaganda here by stations with as many viewers.
Even worse, you have billion dollars companies behind you, so nobody should take you seriously. You have more political power than 99% of your population. You control the media and the politicians. You are trying to be a dictator who hates people on the internet deciding your message is wrong.
What a crock… I’ll agree that social media incites extremist behavior…however, we all know that most extremist behavior comes from the left. Ironically we’re now approaching the year anniversary of the nonstop BLM/Antifa criminal riots, which caused 2 billion in damages, thousands of injuries, and hundreds of deaths. And MSNBC is one of the main reasons for that behavior because of their lies! For a more recent example, remember when they said that “white supremacists†were attacking Asian people?? Notice how they stopped trying to stoke that fire, since we now know WHO REALLY COMMITS 99% of those attacks, and many others…. Pfft
Jimmy Dore brought me here. Legacy media is dead. Good riddance.
It's like old daughter telling her mother to Lower the level of free speech while she's living in the same home
That loser mom with the dreadlocks was likely sponging off her mom and repaying her by attacking her on national news.
Perma frown lady and 3 soy boys with low T afraid for anyone not tuned in to the left wing propaganda machine.
MSM does nothing like this….
A white woman with threadlocks living off of her mother rattling her on public tv. That is the real problem. Jimmy Dore is right.
HA ! The networks have divided and manipulated the public from their inception.
The definition of irony: Propaganda network with its political propaganda dividing everyone talks about fueling political divisions.
The real story would be why msm pushes the divide instead of holding government accountable. Kind of the idea of journalism in the first place.
Our corporate dictatorship is what polarizes us politically if you're dumb enough to believe there actually are two parties. As for the media, I can't remember the last time the establishment wasn't pedalling propaganda that continually gets debunked without retractions, the biggest of them being Russia-gate. Why are there so many snowflakes who pee their pants when someone has a different political opinion? If you're terrified by what you see, get off of it. You're too emotionally fragile. You guys are just jealous that independent media is doing BETTER than you. I watch outlets that actually go where the news is. Then YouTube let's you steal these independent outlet's footage, but takes the original footage down. YOU are the fear-mongers. This piece is laughable and us not news. Why don't you talk about freeing real journalists like Julian Assange or whistle blowers who expose the NSA's trashing the 4th Amendment? You have insulted the intelligence of so many Americans who do not believe your BS so we've gone elsewhere, like over half of the country who wants a 3rd party. The American public woke up after Obama disappointed us by deporting more non-criminal migrants, by bombing more Black and Brown people than any other President in history until he ran out of bombs, who created a bogus substitute for Universal Healthcare that enriched insurance companies and bankrupts 530,000 Americans every year … which doesn't happen in other developed and even some 3rd World countries. Now, you stare slack-jawed in amazement because there are fewer and fewer naive people. Give it up and let the real journalists who haven't sold out do the real journalism.
Research Operation Gladio and the Strategy of Tension…
The very fact that 80% of the comments left on the social media platforms
sponsored by the left wing corporate syndicates are negative towards
their views, tells Me that they are only getting 20% approval from the
very people that put their associates in office. Many Democratic Voters
are Shocked and Ashamed of what their selected elected leaders are doing
to US, this country and the world. They now fear posting comment in
favor of an indefensible positions only embarrasses them and reminders
them of their manipulated deception. Now the very people pushing the
deceiving rhetoric are trying to paint the 80% as dangerous and
sinister. The best way to stop the propaganda and manipulation of the
truth is to tell the world you will not purchase the products advertised
on those platforms and call them out by name. The Danger is not the
people and their views, the Danger is the Propagandists and their
Deception.
Look at the ladies face in the top left!? Did her grandma die?
So glad that there wasn't social media in the 60's right? No one's buying your bs fear based propaganda NBC, no matter how hard you try to force it down our throats. United we stand.
Wow this is an utterly embarrassing piece for NBC to actually "report" on.
Free Americans from California! Free the Palestinians from Palestine! Free the Isrealies from the Zionists! I to love to make comments that have nothing to do with this video!!!
This is the SINGLE most hypocritical video I've ever seen, and it just proves everything I need to know about the Mainstream media! 1. They would embrace censorship in a heartbeat to assist their agenda. 2. They are jealous of losing their advertising money. 3. They truly believe that the American public is so stupid as to not understand fake news when they see it. 4. They seek to control the narrative. If you don't know that 5 companies own the whole of the Mainstream media
(CNN, NBC, MSNBC, ABC, FOX, BBC, NY Times, etc..) then you need to read up on it- become enlightened. The Mainstream media is not the solution, they are the problem.
