Basically Casey Neistat arranged a deal with CNN to create a news network that will deliver live news as it is coming out without any of the "bullshit" that younger people expect from news sites. It's going to be curated by journalists and is going to be delivered as it is happening.

The main issue I have with this is many people on the Trump-side of politics do not trust Casey due to his "I will be voting for Hillary Clinton" video and especially do not like CNN, so the whole group of people that support Trump might have been alienated before this even begins.

What do you guys think? Here's the article that first broke this and Philip DeFranco's vid on the subject:

….a news network that will deliver live news as it is coming out without any of the “bullshit” that younger people expect from news sites…

Potential political biases aside (which given that Clinton video he did is likely guaranteed), it will eventually have bullshit because there's no way you can do a 24/7 news channel that's just reporting the news. There's just not enough news to fill all that time--hence why most channels do topic and political shows.

The article also says that it'll be "about delivering live newsfeeds from around the world… There's 12 different newsfeeds that are live at that very moment." So the bullshit's still there, you can just watch 12 different versions of it live.

What the fuck is C-SPAN?

isn't C-SPAN limited to just government matters? Neistat plans live feeds from aros the world of major events, not just government proceedings

What the fuck is C-SPAN?

The Cable and Satellite Public Affairs Network is a TV station founded as a public service by the various cable companies back in the seventies (hence, there are no commercials). C-SPAN carries live video feed of the House of Representatives, C-SPAN 2 carries live feed from the Senate. When Congress isn't in session, they air policy discussion panels, debates, and call-in programs that are almost always trolled. C-SPAN is seen by almost everyone as being the most neutral, and thus most trusted, news network in the US.
