Damn. Not what she was expecting but we we all needed to hear

The lyrics "money ain't for nothin and the chicks for free" make so much sense now.

Denzel🔥🔥🔥

📌

The need to be first! Right on, I hadn’t seen this. Makes me admire him more.

Love when he stops and preach some truth. And he does it in a way asking you what do you think. Amazing talent with that not many people can get a truth out while making the receiving party stop and think for once.

Wow! Well said. This is so true.

If more people in the public eye would stand up to the press like this it might make a little difference.

And who’s the biggest liar of all? MSNBC

Denzel for POTUS

He’s telling it like it is!

Perfect

I love Denzel.

Truth be told.

Yep

No wonder he got a medal .

Denzel Washington kicks ass.

And one other point. Overt mis-representation of the facts to promote a slanted narrative for 2 reasons and only 2 reasons no mater what is said. 1) Profit $$$ 2) Power/Control

Word!

Indeed!!!!

📌

So true. The perfect description our news machine

Spot on. 🎯

Love Denzel, and he is 100% 🎯!

Yep , we heard you 🇺🇸💙

NOPE. Was a huge fan. Now.....don't care.

I saw this, she wasn’t ready for his answer

Wow, that is worth listening to, and practicing. Love this 👍🏼💕

Denzel speaks the truth. 👏👏💙👏👏

Exactly! 💙

I respect him.

Great response from Denzel. It's so true.

Yes!

I wonder who he's talking about 🙃

I love this man 💙

👏👏👏👍

"We’re all slaves to information now. We really are. We’re all slaves. So whatever you feel about the leaders, like this guy’s crazy or the other one is sane, you’d better realize you’re being manipulated by both sides. Period.” - The Hollywood Reporter 11.16.24 "Both sides"? ... Okay

It's so true.

This is why Leon claiming citizen journalism is the future is moving us away from a healthier society

You heard me

So true! We’re living in a post-truth world where it’s all about who says it first / loudest and repeats it the most. The only way we can fight this war of disinformation is by taking these cases to court to show the damages… as with Alex Jones, Fox News, Giuliani, Trump, and Tommy Robinson.

This one ended with “Tommy” in jail, because he kept repeating said libel. On a completely unrelated note, Musk wants him released from said jail…..

Punishing damaging lies is important, but so is rewarding the truth. It has to be more profitable than just spewing out whatever so long as it engages. Hard, but necessary.

He said…”You heard me”. Telling it like it is, love Denzel!!

Ironic this is a clip from @washingtonpost.com. They’ll never learn will they?

He is so eloquent with words.

So true... He's a national treasure...and I wonder why the false informative speech about him

Denzel is a great motivational speaker on YouTube. Check him out.

Denzel is a moron. He has some kernel of truth that he then extrapolates into a generality. He has practiced delivering lines with gravitas, so when he says something people fall for the tone and presume it's intelligent. Great actor, but a dumbass in interpreting reality

Wow that was good.

Loved Denzel before. Love him even more now!

Nothing from the Washington Post is worth even a single watch. I'll pass.

This makes perfect sense.

I was just re-watching The Newsroom from 2012-2014. All of the issues with the media were predicted, we just didn't pay attention.

I've not heard this before. Thanks for sharing. He speaks total truth.

❤️ Denzel!

Another training day. Listen up!

It's often disappointing to hear respected actors express their own personal views, compared to when they read lines written by someone else.

Spot on, not sure it could be said any better

Our media is failing leading to the beginning of the end of democracy. With oligarchs owning social media, TV, NEWS, newspapers we're starting to see lies being told just to be first to profit or to be in control of the power over Americas. Look a Bezos and what he has done to the Washington Post.

Disgusting

Actors know how to bullshit. The better they are at it the more we should reward them. None of this should be true for journalists or reporters ;)

I would listen to Denzel any time, any day. Not only is he a great actor, but he is one wise man.

Respect.👍♥️

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

📌

I just love that laugh 😂

This sounds like the BBC

Excellent! Interesting how quiet she got when Denzel brought up the need to be truthful.

Wow! Love it! Denzel telling it to the reporter. Bam!

There are no real journalist in msm.

💯

So very true

Denzel Washington makes a good point here and I agree with his assessment.

SO TRUE

I heard him, loud & clear 👏

Truth. Love Denzel.

Profoundly true.... we need to get our act together.

Awesome!!!!!

Is he gonna cite Twain there or

He speaks perfectly about the facts and the reality we live in.

Wow 😮 I don’t think I’ve ever heard a more clearer message! TRUTH

If only Liberals took this advice.

Spot on Denzel, if only they would realise the harm the media is doing.

They don’t care. The execs literally care only about $$

Denzel RULES

I absolutely agree with Denzil... he speaks the truth.

I have always hated the phrase and we brought it to you first or we were first to bring it you. Ugh.

Fckn A Denzel

❤️🔥🎯

Fuckin legend… in more ways than one.

That's a truth bomb, right there.

Absolutely love this guy

He's right.

Yup.

What we live, we learn. What we learn,we practice. What we practice, we become. What we become has consequences.

Brilliant man

So true. Love that man.

Too much information? What does that mean?

Love that guy💚

Never saw this before. Good post, ty.

Love Denzel.

So true. Good post. Washington said it accurately.

I guess even the best can be bought!

Yep.

On point

Denzel makes sense!

Wise man.

He's a treasure. His characters have his integrity, and can also kill seventeen people with a toothpick; but he's plausible with the integrity because he already has it in real life.

Something about the way Denzel communicates and speaks is so compelling. The guy is amazing.

He’s totally correct of course, but as you say there is something about him that compelling and almost frightening isn’t there.

Not sure I understand your meaning

I just mean that if he spoke to me like that, I’d listen! 😆

Aaah..ok. Got it.

bc he's talking down to them like a parent, lol, but it's all true so he doesn't have to raise his voice. bet he made some ppl v. uncomfortable with that lecture.😆

I didn’t take it that way. I took it as educating and forcing one to think…with a little bit of an impish smirk.

it's probably not intentional, but smiling doesn't make it less serious. and at the end "you heard me? that make sense?" since a parent thing to say.😭

such*

📌

All true.

Denzel is the man!

He’s not wrong.

Denzel is a rockstar 🤩

I take he didn’t believe people were eating pets.

First time I have seen this. He speaks truth.

"A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is still putting on its shoes." Mark Twain

Damn! 👏👏👏 #legend

He’s right.

News reporter... In one ear and out the other.

Medal Of Honor recipient. 👍🏽 And Equalizer! 💙

Beautiful 💙

So spot on. 🥲

He's spot on. I teared up a bit when he gave President Biden a big hug yesterday at the medal ceremony.

Perception is reality.

Wow

I’d watch Denzel recite the instructions to a toilet installation.

📌

Denzel always on point!

And the eye contact he made with various people standing there!

Yes it is!

📌

YESSSSSS!!!

I wish I could save this video for later reference

This is a roundabout way but could still be useful. bsky.app/profile/miin...

Just make sure to add the 📌 feed to your main page

The election cycle is over. Algorithms don't eat. They work 24/7. ⚡

Brilliant answer 👏 🥰🤜🤛

Powerful.

Exactly. Any recommendations on a good news source?

Love it 😍 👏👏👏👏

Denzel. Didn’t know I could love him more than I already do.

National Treasure PREACH!

He’s telling the truth.

Who was he talking to??

Absolute truth

This guy truly is the best.

💙💙💙 Denzel Washington for the win!!!

Totally off topic, but is that a pleated woodpecker??

Yep!

Pileated. Yes it is

A wise, wise man. You could see him mentally editing as he spoke. He was both admonishing and encouraging. He had too much class to just say “ you’re awful, smarten up.”

Agreed.

Denzel is so goooood! One of my most favorite actors of all time.

Denzel is a God send

💯 words of wisdom

We need truth and this is it.

And, no disrespect, but, we don't need to hear these words of wisdom from celebrities. Just because a celebrity says it, doesn't make something any more important. We have an overabundance of pedestals. Stop it. They're just people. Idolization is what created the orange monster! My 2 cents.

Respectfully, I have to disagree. He is a well respected man, not just as a celebrity. If this is the platform he wants to use to make an extremely important statement, good for him. A lot of people will be watching. It needed saying, no matter who said it.

“You heard me?”

Excellent point Denzel Washington makes….it’s up to the journalists to tell the truth….not to be first with a story without FACTS.

Oh if only!!!

Love him

Yeah, he was talking to you guys. It's too bad It's ignored

Yes! TY!

Wow! Denzel is spot on

Amen! Now for the folks in the back!

Love that man

Truth will never be profitable for Americans

Just another reason to love him!💕

Excellent.

He changed to all corp media that was the best answer.. smart guy

That man has had my heart for DECADES! ❤️❤️

WP just snuffs out the truth.

Denzil is 💯 right on. Love him.

Listen to him.

It's a fact...

Wrong 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

You’re the problem you believe the shit truth hurts🤡🤡🤡

You’re probably not aware but Tucker is anti Trump

You mean he says nasty stuff about tRump in Private and services him constantly in public, including at the MSG rally.

Only in private until the Dominion Voting Systems came was filed against Fox.

That doesn’t mean he’s a good reporter.

Oooh. Wait up. You were still being misinformed 50 years ago. Back then, governments only had major networks and newspapers under their direction (only ahahaha). The audience has grown, the misinformation is now more targeted.

Interesting 50 years ago 50 years ago the Watergate breakin & coverup scandal was being reported and tearing down a president There was misinformation, but also investigative reporting that countered the government line Misinformation is now created and targeted with no relationship to truth

Information is also being skewed by the billionaire owners of the media.

And history being rewritten.

I watched the Watergate hearings as part of my HS SS class and then we would discuss. Hate to tell you, that was a major network.

50 years ago the wealthy had been bullshitting to the plebs for centuries. The grand old Europeans had been bullshitting long before they invaded the Americas and stole it from the natives. You septics didn’t exist.

📌

Fuckn'a.

Yes it was

I love Denzel so much.

Nailed it!

Sir, this is an entertainment show. OK, OK...Denzel does make a good point.

It was. Thank you.

I despise the trend of truth at 11:00…in a couple of years as soon as i get the book deal for it through and it’s too late to do anything about it

My Denzel fan girl number just increased exponentially ❤️

Mine too

He was dead on ! What a responsibility you have. Anything you practice you get good at, including bull shit.

Denzel is a magnificent human being…

THIS is one of my all time favorites!!! Denzel is soooo spot on. It was said many years ago, but feels so incredibly relevant right now. We just lost an election partly bc media didn’t do its job AT ALL. Complete failure & capitulation. Not the guardrail we needed to keep our democracy safe. 🤯

Media has been taken over by money men, and they will always take the side that will fill their greedy little hands!
