Latest / True Crime with Gavin Fish / Are On-Scene YouTubers Hurting the Nancy Guthrie Investigation?
Transcript
- 0:01I have said time and time again that journalism is a career path
- 0:08or what do we want to call it? A skill?
- 0:14AI don't even know the word for it, but it is it is a career
- 0:18path that does not require you to go to some fancy school.
- 0:23You don't need to go to Columbia.
- 0:24You don't need to go to wherever to get your journalism degree or
- 0:29your communications degree. You just need to be somebody who
- 0:32journals the goings on the happenings of wherever is it is
- 0:38that you live or you know, you might do it on a community
- 0:41level, nation, national level, world level, doesn't really
- 0:44matter. But, and I've defended that
- 0:47position because that is my story, right?
- 0:50I work as a reporter for a local news agency.
- 0:55I did not go to journalism school.
- 0:57I was trained on the job kind of the way journalists of old were,
- 1:01right? You, you get a job, you work in
- 1:04The Newsroom, you work your way up, that sort of thing.
- 1:08But I am very much second guessing that entire position
- 1:13now. Because we have got.
- 1:20I don't want to. We've got so-called my goodness,
- 1:23my hair is doing something here. Hold on, let's do that.
- 1:27There we go. We have got so-called citizen
- 1:31journalists in the Nancy Guthrie case that have inserted
- 1:36themselves into the the discussion, right?
- 1:43They, they no longer are reporting the news.
- 1:46They are making the news. And that is a really, really bad
- 1:53idea. And so while we're going to
- 1:54frame this around the Nancy Guthrie case, this conversation,
- 1:59we're going to be talking about responsible human behavior.
- 2:05I feel like I'm a little hot here.
- 2:06I'm going to pull back the microphone, responsible citizen
- 2:10journalism, responsible journalism.
- 2:13And we're going to call out some folks that have been behaving
- 2:17badly. We're going to try to learn for
- 2:19ourselves how not to behave because we don't want to be
- 2:24these guys. And along the way, we're going
- 2:28to learn what's going on with the case, what's going on around
- 2:31the case like Sheriff Nanos, what else have I got?
- 2:34Oh my goodness, get this, get my list up.
- 2:36What else have we got? We in true crime headlines,
- 2:39we're going to be looking at Sheriff Nanos.
- 2:43We're going to be looking at the Long Island serial killer case.
- 2:45Some strange news there. Little news out of the Anna
- 2:48Kepner case, which we went into in depth yesterday.
- 2:53And we've got some good news along with three questions.
- 2:56So we got a lot to cover. We got the a 15 gallon show that
- 3:00we need to fit into a 5 gallon bucket.
- 3:03It's going to be a long one. It's going to be a good one.
- 3:06I hope you'll stick with me. This video contains mature

- 4:59So thank you. I I really appreciate it.
- 5:03All right, let's do a quick little recap A Rooney, if we
- 5:06can, of this case. This is the Nancy Guthrie case.
- 5:11Nancy Guthrie, 84 years old. She is taken in the middle of
- 5:17the night out of her sanctuary, her home, where she has lived
- 5:24for decades, where she has raised her family, where she has
- 5:29memories, where you know she lived when she lost her husband.
- 5:36This, this is her sanctuary, her place and criminals, horrible
- 5:43people in the middle of the night.
- 5:46I, I think people, I think people we know at least one
- 5:49person went in there injured her and took her out and she's never
- 5:55been heard from, seen again. It is most likely that her days
- 6:01here in this mortal coil have come to an end because of the
- 6:05nefarious and evil actions of these people, at least one of
- 6:11whom was caught on video wearing a mask, wearing gloves, armed.
- 6:19It's just it's a disgusting, horrifying and infuriating case
- 6:25that has the nation and the world captivated and for good
- 6:30reason, right? This could be our mother.
- 6:32This could be our grandmother. It is it is somebody's mother
- 6:36and grandmother. She is she is their loved one.
- 6:41They're the center of their world and and she was taken and
- 6:46it is just beyond the. Pale that this.
- 6:50Kind of crime happens. I hate, I hate crimes against
- 6:55the elderly and children. It just it just I'm working my
- 7:01I'm, I'm worked up. I'm worked up.
- 7:05We just got started there. I am spilling water on my
- 7:08keyboard. I'm so worked up.
- 7:12Wanda, can you bring me off the edge?
- 7:14Maybe Wanda can give me just a little, just some music to OK.
- 7:24Wanda is my music director, everybody.
- 7:29Thank you Wanda, that that helps a lot Wanda is my music
- 7:32director. She, she sometimes is the person
- 7:36who who, who takes me off the ledge.
- 7:40Why is my? There we go.
- 7:42OK, where was I? Oh, I was angry, but it's OK,
- 7:48There's something else to be angry about.
- 7:50OK, Here on the channel over the last couple of weeks, there have
- 7:54been a couple of stories that are already right there.
- 7:58They surround the story. They are not the story.
- 8:02They shouldn't be the story, but they they surround the story.
- 8:06So we have to talk about it. One of the one of those has been
- 8:10the whole JLR saga, right? This is this is a guy who is a
- 8:14YouTube, a successful YouTube has a big channel with over half
- 8:18a million subscribers. Many of his followers are just
- 8:22how would I describe them tastefully and and I guess
- 8:26without besmirching them. I I wanted to use the word
- 8:29rabbit. They're ardent.
- 8:31They're ardent followers and they will go to great lengths to
- 8:36not only support him but intimidate those who who.
- 8:41I don't know don't support him right and.
- 8:45That became a story that that kind of surrounded the Nancy
- 8:50Guthrie case because he has been on the ground, quote UN quote,
- 8:55investigating. I I I would call it more like
- 8:59activist ISM activism more than investigation.
- 9:05That's just my take. I mean, you might disagree, but
- 9:10he now. Is.
- 9:15I think he's still there. Last time I checked, I haven't
- 9:18checked in the last couple of days, I think he's still there.
- 9:21And there was an article that I brought you yesterday in
- 9:25headlines that didn't doesn't name him specifically.
- 9:29And it may not be about him, it may be about any number of other
- 9:33people, but I'm suspicious that it is about him and I want to
- 9:39start there. It, it, but I, I don't know that
- 9:43it's about him. I I'm just suspicious.
- 9:46OK, so for those of you who were on last night, you have seen
- 9:50this article, but I thought that I would bring it again to frame
- 9:55this because again, we are talking about my profession,
- 10:01something that I came to later on in life, but have grown to
- 10:04love. And I kind of feel protective of
- 10:08it like like a Big Brother with his kid sister, right?
- 10:12Like I can I can pick on my profession, but you may not that
- 10:17that's kind of how I feel about it.
- 10:19This written by Marissa Orr. Here is the article day 72 of
- 10:25Nancy Guthrie case. This came out two days ago.
- 10:28We are now at day 74. Neighborhood patrols increase
- 10:32after YouTube harassing complaints again Marissa Orr for
- 10:37KVOA. And I we don't need to read the
- 10:42whole thing, but. This will this will set our
- 10:44stage. OK.
- 10:46Dateline is Tucson, AZ. It has been 72 days since the
- 10:50disappearance of Nancy Guthrie. As the search.
- 10:52Continues for the 84 year old. There is an update regarding an
- 10:56increase in patrols due to YouTube harassing complaints.
- 11:00Now that is a weirdly phrased sentence.
- 11:04It should, at least as I understand it.
- 11:06I mean, it's, it's grammatically correct, but I would, I would
- 11:11write it as due to an increase or regarding an increase in
- 11:16patrols due to complaints of harassment by a YouTube or
- 11:23Youtubers. I think that's what Marissa
- 11:26meant in her reporting. And like I said, she she wrote
- 11:30it correctly. I just, I kind of stumbled on
- 11:32it. News 4 Tucson, this is KVOA
- 11:35learned that the Pima County Sheriff's Department attended a
- 11:38recent homeowners association meeting for Guthrie's Catalina
- 11:41Foothills neighborhood. At that meeting, some of the
- 11:44neighbors complained about a YouTube.
- 11:46OK, so it's a single YouTube harassing residents in the area.
- 11:51PCSD confirmed that they have also received similar complaints
- 11:55from Guthrie's daughter, Annie. I think they're Marissa.
- 11:59I'm sorry, I I'm picking a part. There should be a comma there
- 12:04and there. But that's OK.
- 12:05That's OK we're fine. So complaints from Guthrie's
- 12:09daughter Annie in relation to her neighborhood.
- 12:14Mooney, you were a school teacher, right?
- 12:15Am I right on this? There should be commas.
- 12:18But you know what I over comma things it's fine.
- 12:21The department has increased patrols in both areas due to
- 12:24those complaints and then. Blah blah blah blah blah blah.
- 12:29Blah, blah. I think that that's pretty much
- 12:33then it then it goes into the story.
- 12:34OK, so there there are complaints by neighbors in the
- 12:38neighborhood of Nancy Guthrie and in the nearby neighborhood
- 12:42of Annie that there is a YouTube that is harassing them.
- 12:48Consequently, the Pima County Sheriff's Department have
- 12:52increased their patrols. Now, I have done my fair share
- 13:00of clashing, not, I mean friendly clashing with police
- 13:06while I'm carrying out the duties of my job, one of the,
- 13:10one of the. And here I am putting myself in
- 13:13the story again. But it's an anecdote.
- 13:16One of the things that we will do as reporters is we will be
- 13:18doing something that is constitutionally protected, that
- 13:22is not only protected but important that we do.
- 13:26And police won't like what we're doing.
- 13:28And so they will try to intimidate you out of doing the
- 13:31thing. Sometimes they they don't like
- 13:37it because what you're doing might be distasteful.
- 13:40And, and sometimes it is it, it requires A journalist there
- 13:46though, in order to create the record, right.
- 13:49So, so I've had my fair share of those kinds of incidents.
- 13:55Like I, I can, I can think of one right now that was in a city
- 13:59here in Western Pennsylvania where there was a shooting and
- 14:05it was in the middle of the night and I middle of the night.
- 14:07It was like 10:00 at night. I go out to do photojournalism
- 14:12to get. Photography of it.
- 14:13Another journalist will be writing the story because
- 14:17breaking news. I'm out there getting
- 14:19photography of it. I'm outside of the of the taped
- 14:24off, cordoned off area and I have a long lens and a good
- 14:27camera and I'm taking pictures at night.
- 14:30Now the police found this distasteful because what I
- 14:32didn't know is that the victim was a victim of himself.
- 14:37Nevertheless, I was assigned and it was something that was
- 14:40important. And so I was taking pictures and
- 14:43an entire Police Department without their captain tried to
- 14:49intimidate me out of there, threatened me with arrest, the
- 14:53whole thing. I ended up calling 911 and going
- 14:58these police officers are threatening me, me with arrest.
- 15:01I'm outside of their crime scene and I got a call back from the
- 15:05chief. They got radio calls.
- 15:06And it was like this. So this.
- 15:08Kind of thing happens, right? But if you are just out, like if
- 15:13you're doing something that's not a protected activity, if
- 15:16you're out there harassing people, yeah, the police will
- 15:21come and they will arrest you. They can.
- 15:23They should. And that is what I mean, that
- 15:27sets the stage for the conversation that we're going to
- 15:29have today. But before I continue, I want to
- 15:32check in with you guys in the live chat.
- 15:35I think I saw a super chat come in as I was doing my my
- 15:38diatribe. Let's see, lady.

- 19:07you guys will notice in if you're on YouTube, it'll be in
- 19:10the description below. If you're on a podcast, it'll be
- 19:13in the show notes. Lots and lots of links tonight.
- 19:18I've got so much to go through tonight, but I want to we've set
- 19:23the stage about what we're talking about, but I now want to
- 19:28maybe escalate things a little bit and talk about what the
- 19:33local impact in Tucson has been from from like content creators
- 19:41being on the ground. It's not just Youtubers, right?
- 19:44Content creators, Local news organizations.
- 19:48National news organizations. It has been disruptive, if you
- 19:53guys remember, but let's let's read from the AP here.
- 19:59But this this was back in February.
- 20:02Do you guys remember this from Jacques Bilode and Sejal
- 20:10Govindarao writing for the AP Dateline Phoenix?
- 20:18This again back February 25th the no parking zone around the
- 20:22home of Today show host Savannah Guthrie's mother where
- 20:24journalists. And social media streamers have
- 20:26stationed themselves over the past three weeks since her
- 20:28disappearance is being widened in response to.
- 20:31Bitter complaints from neighbors about congested roads,
- 20:34trespassing and trash left alongside roadways.
- 20:38I think that these, these fine folks living out there in the
- 20:44Catalina foothills put up with a lot, right?
- 20:48Put up with a lot. It wasn't just a media circus.
- 20:54I mean, it was a media circus, but it wasn't just that it was
- 21:00littering and it was trespassing.
- 21:04Just, you know, people. People sometimes just feel
- 21:07completely empowered to go, oh, you know, this neighborhood
- 21:11doesn't have fences. I guess I will just walk walk
- 21:14across this area to see what Nancy's backyard looks like or
- 21:17whatever, right? And, and, you know, again, not
- 21:23supposed to put myself in the story, but when we moved here to
- 21:26Western Pennsylvania, for the first time in our lives, we
- 21:30experienced a place where there just aren't fences, just aren't
- 21:35all that many fences, right? And.
- 21:38I was I was watching my kids. I was looking out the back
- 21:42window of the house watching my kids jump on the trampoline when
- 21:45just a stranger walked through. My kids were like five and two
- 21:51and a grown full grown stranger just walked through my backyard.
- 21:55I ran out there. What are you doing?
- 21:58She's like, oh, I just I just like to cut through here to go
- 22:00to my house. Stop.
- 22:02Don't do that. You may you do not have
- 22:05permission to be on my property. Like I just happened to watch
- 22:09you as you're going. I don't know you right.
- 22:12And I'm sure that's exactly what these people and Nancy Guthrie's
- 22:17and Annie's. Neighborhood.
- 22:21Feel like like why are you trespassing on my on my
- 22:26property? Continuing this article back in
- 22:29February, Pima County officials say an effort over the weekend
- 22:32to have one way traffic flow on the road in front of Nancy
- 22:34Guthrie's house. In the Catalina foothills just
- 22:37outside Tucson hasn't worked as they hoped, leading to expanded
- 22:41parking restrictions. And then it talks about.
- 22:45You know, new restrictions, violators, what it's going to,
- 22:48what it's going to take. The constant presence of news
- 22:51crews, bloggers, curious onlookers has drawn mixed
- 22:55reaction from neighbors. Some appreciated the attention
- 22:57the case has been getting. Others have placed traffic cones
- 23:00and signs on their properties to keep people off.
- 23:02Yeah, one of my biggest pet peeves is people parking on my
- 23:05driveway. I hate it.
- 23:07Do not ever park on my driveway. Ever.
- 23:12That that is not for you. That is for me, my wife, our
- 23:16children and and the guests that we deem may do that.
- 23:21And my whole life I've had people parking on or in front of
- 23:25my driveway. It drives me crazy.
- 23:28So yeah, they're, they're putting out traffic cones.
- 23:30Please don't block me in that kind of stuff.
- 23:33Authorities say tents, generators, satellite trucks set
- 23:36up along the road have created congestion and safety concerns.
- 23:39Yadda, yadda, yadda, right. So, so I mean, this whole thing,
- 23:45this whole like circus, the trespassing, the littering, the
- 23:51curious onlookers, the, the well-intentioned people that
- 23:57were curious and may want to, may have wanted to leave flowers
- 24:01on a makeshift memorial for Nancy.
- 24:03People who deeply care. You know, there's a wide range
- 24:06of professionals that have crews pop up tents and generators and
- 24:12battery backups and all that stuff.
- 24:14They're just, it created an issue.
- 24:17And this is back in February, right?
- 24:19We are now in the middle of April.
- 24:22OK, so moving forward, actually, it's actually a couple days
- 24:27back, but but then you know, this article from the Guardian
- 24:33from February 22nd. So a few days before the last
- 24:35article we looked at this one starts talking about.
- 24:38OK, now, now we've got concern as an industry here, right?
- 24:44This is a huge story and you know the the journalism and
- 24:52media industry are going wait a minute, I don't like.
- 24:55These amateur YouTube citizen detectives.
- 25:01And are they putting the case in jeopardy and they start, they're
- 25:05starting asking these questions, right?
- 25:08And this is a responsible question to ask.
- 25:12And I am, I am asking the question of myself as well
- 25:16because I, while I have not been out in Tucson, I have not been
- 25:20out on the ground. I have been reporting on the
- 25:24case. I think that having eyeballs on
- 25:27this case is good. I think it it keeps it in the
- 25:30public zeitgeist. It makes it so it's more likely
- 25:34that somebody might call with a lead, somebody might say to
- 25:38themselves, oh, I want that reward.
- 25:42I think there's value in it. But is there also a danger of
- 25:52putting the case at jeopardy, especially when it comes to
- 25:57misinformation? Right.
- 26:00I hate that word. I, I, I hate that misinformation
- 26:03and disinformation is such a politically loaded word.
- 26:06But you know, poor reporting or or full on just speculating and
- 26:14speaking in facts rather than in in actual editorial where
- 26:19everybody understands, hey, this is editorial, this is opinion,
- 26:23that kind of stuff. So this written by Elena
- 26:26Demopoulos from the Guardian back in February.
- 26:30She writes self declared sleuths have inserted themselves in the
- 26:35search for Nancy Guthrie, compromising the investigation
- 26:38for views and clicks. On the 10th day for the Search
- 26:42of Nancy Guthrie, reporters camped outside of the missing
- 26:45woman's home noticed a strange man strut right up to the front
- 26:49door. It had been more than a week
- 26:51since the mother of today's show host Savannah Guthrie, had
- 26:54disappeared, and authorities had just announced they had a new
- 26:57lead from Ring footage of what looked like a potential suspect
- 27:01or subject attempting to tamper with the doorbell camera.
- 27:04Which we've all we've all. Seen.
- 27:05That video, right, I'll put it up again on the morning of her
- 27:11disappearance. So now who was this unknown
- 27:14person clad in a Gray top and black pants, carrying a large
- 27:18bag and striding to the door? I cannot believe that this
- 27:22happened. It was a Domino's delivery
- 27:25driver. A Domino's delivery driver
- 27:29quote, Never seen something quite like this, local ABC
- 27:33reporter Ford Hatchett wrote on X delivery was for an
- 27:37independent journalist out here who is live streaming JLR
- 27:41investigators. Investigates a viewer ordered it
- 27:44for him. Now I I have no idea if Mr.
- 27:49Riches was like hey order me a pizza and somebody ordered it
- 27:52for him or just an over enthusiastic viewer was like
- 27:58hey, Jonathan looks hungry there, I'm going to send him a
- 28:03pizza. Either way, a Domino's delivery
- 28:08driver full on walks up to the door.
- 28:16OK, continuing the article, this is JLR Investigates is the name
- 28:20of the YouTube channel run by Jonathan Lee Riches, who
- 28:22describes himself as a fearless investigator and has more than
- 28:26540,000 subscribers that watch his dispatches from outside
- 28:30Guthrie's Tucson home. Quote, We can't believe we have
- 28:34to say this, but media on scene, please do not order food
- 28:37delivery to a crime scene address, the Pima County
- 28:40Sheriff's Department wrote in a statement.
- 28:42This interferes with an active investigation.
- 28:44Please also respect private property laws.
- 28:48OK, There was something that, oh, this reminded me of
- 28:56something. Again, not trying to insert
- 28:59myself into the story here, but an anecdote that I I want to
- 29:04share. OK, here in my area, there was a
- 29:13there was a story that had to do with the alleged and alleged
- 29:22inappropriate sexual or romantic language between a female high
- 29:28school teacher and a minor student.
- 29:33Now, this obviously is a big deal in any community, right?
- 29:37And I was assigned to do the investigation to the to, well,
- 29:42not to do the investigation, but to, to work on the series.
- 29:45I, I needed to call school boards and principals and I
- 29:49needed to try to make contact with the victim's family and,
- 29:55you know, who had been speaking out and the alleged, well, the
- 30:01teacher and all the stuff, right?
- 30:04Doing so in a responsible but bold manner and covering the,
- 30:12you know, covering school board meetings, the whole thing.
- 30:14It was this big thing. Well, in the meantime, there was
- 30:18another guy who made a Facebook page and he called it.
- 30:29Well, you guys know I'm in western Pennsylvania.
- 30:31I think he called it the Butler News Butler is a town north of
- 30:35Pittsburgh that you guys might remember it because that's where
- 30:42an assassin shot at Donald Trump when he was running for
- 30:47president the second time, hit him in the ear.
- 30:49And I was Butler, PA, right? So by the way, I had been
- 30:53assigned to cover that. But was but had to leave town.
- 30:57So I was supposed to be at that. But anyway, I think he called it
- 31:01the Butler news and he quickly racked up huge Facebook,
- 31:08Facebook following and and I talked to him a couple of times
- 31:13and he told me, oh, I've got I've got witnesses, I've got
- 31:17statements. I've got people who are talking
- 31:18to me, Gavin and I will share it with you.
- 31:20And I went great, but that never came.
- 31:25Didn't matter how many times I asked for it, it never came.
- 31:27He never had it. He never at least I think he
- 31:31never had it. He did give me some contact
- 31:34information for some people that had like third party, you know,
- 31:37heard rumors this, that and the other, but he never had it.
- 31:40But he was, he was going online talking about this definitely
- 31:45happened and, and she definitely did this.
- 31:48And I've got the, I've got the receipts and I've got all the
- 31:51tea. And he's racking up hundreds of
- 31:56thousands of followers and thousands and thousands of
- 32:00dollars by acting that way, right?
- 32:03So it's tempting, it's tempting to act that way.
- 32:05I look at a channel like JLR Investigates and I see 500 +
- 32:101000 subscribers and I go, dude, if I only did that, if I did
- 32:16that shtick, I would be working this full time.
- 32:22You know? We wouldn't have to struggle on
- 32:24certain months, you know. I, I, I have those conversations
- 32:28with myself, but then I remember that that Facebook news
- 32:32organization that put himself out there, I actually don't
- 32:35think it was called the Butler News.
- 32:36Now I can't remember. But put himself out there as a
- 32:39news source, a credible news source.
- 32:44And he basically printed money. And I even thought like last
- 32:51week, hey, I wonder if that guy, I wonder if I could hire him to
- 32:54run my social media rather than no, Gavin, don't do that because
- 32:58what kind of stuff is he going to put?
- 32:59Out there, right. So anyway, that was a bit of a
- 33:03tangent and I didn't even do the tangent music, but anyway.
- 33:10Continuing the article, national media has descended on crime
- 33:16scene crime scene since the dawn of tabloids.
- 33:20Take two. Javi.
- 33:22Javi, you're going to edit that out for me.
- 33:23Thanks. Buddy, since the dawn of
- 33:26tabloids more than 100 years ago, the modern media circus
- 33:30only became more invasive with the advent of the 24/7 news
- 33:33cycle. Yeah, I actually know the guy
- 33:38who Ted Turner hired to create CNN.
- 33:44He ruined the world for us, man. But anyway, the Nancy Guthrie
- 33:48investigation is no different. But this time an even more
- 33:51meddling type of reporter has come to define the three-week
- 33:54investigation. The true crime streamer self
- 33:57declared sleuths like Riches have inserted themselves into
- 34:01the investigation, broadcasting their videos to a sizable
- 34:04audience. He posts stream.
- 34:06He posts streams with titles like Breaking Manhunt, Nancy
- 34:10Guthrie, Kidnapping Live. But once you click through, you
- 34:13mostly see Riches simply sitting in his car.
- 34:16On Day 19 of the investigations, he was at one point documenting
- 34:19a police shift change at the scene of the crime bathroom.
- 34:23Break, he narrated to his 29,000 viewers.
- 34:25That drove me nuts. That kind of stuff just drives
- 34:28me nuts. Rich's does try to offer more
- 34:30than just dry footage of the house's exterior.
- 34:33He has investigated, that is, in quotes tips such as an unrelated
- 34:37CARTO and hospital airlift, as if these leads might go
- 34:41somewhere. Followers might appreciate
- 34:43Rich's tenacity. Yeah, but the false.
- 34:46Tips breed misinformation. That word that I hit again.
- 34:49State Representative Alma Hernandez slammed wannabe
- 34:52reporters who have now caused more harm than good to the
- 34:55entire situation and put the. This serious case in jeopardy
- 35:01and then it goes into, you know, before his true crime pivot
- 35:03Riches spent time in jail for wire fraud, made headlines of
- 35:082012 for driving to Connecticut in the wake of the Sandy Hook
- 35:11tragedy posing as an elementary school shooter's uncle who he is
- 35:17known for his prolific filing of absurd lawsuits and blah, blah,
- 35:21blah. It doesn't doesn't really
- 35:22matter, but. I mean, this is a serious
- 35:26concern. It's a, and do I, I don't know
- 35:32if his JLR that is harassing neighbors or that neighbors feel
- 35:36like there is harassment going on.
- 35:39I don't know. But and and he is not the only
- 35:42one, right. So where is that line of
- 35:47responsibility? Because we're going to get into
- 35:50it here, you know, coming up, there is a place for citizen
- 35:55journalism. And sometimes it is super
- 35:58valuable. So important.
- 36:02I mean, there, there have been, there have been major news
- 36:05stories that have been uncovered that have changed.
- 36:09I mean, they've changed policies of governments that have come
- 36:14out on TikTok videos by dudes with cell phone cameras.
- 36:19So it's important. It's important work.
- 36:25But where is the line? Let me check in with you guys,
- 36:28see what you are saying over in the live stream.
- 36:31Let me refresh by here real quick, see if you guys are
- 36:35saying anything that you want me to check out.
- 36:44It's doodlebug didn't put GF in the in the comment but I but I
- 36:48caught it. Youtubers 99% stayed in one spot
- 36:51and they picked up after themselves and others.
- 36:53True probably true. I don't know if that it's true
- 36:57I. Don't know that.
- 36:57It's false, probably true, but but it only takes one or two,
- 37:03right? You know coffee time for D
- 37:07content providers are needed, but you.
- 37:09Have to respect people's homes for sure.
- 37:13Let's see, Debbie says, if you wouldn't do it or want it at
- 37:20your home, then don't do it at someone else's.
- 37:22Yeah, just the standard golden rule, right?
- 37:25Do unto others. Let's see.
- 37:30Elizabeth Mcmasters, Esquire. Gavin, I think if Nanos would
- 37:33have had regular press conferences, it may not have
- 37:35been this bad. An interesting an interesting
- 37:39take, Elizabeth. They saw an information void and
- 37:42took advantage of it. In my opinion.
- 37:45That is a terrific insight. Had there been constant updates
- 37:52to the media? Yeah, not only would that have
- 37:56influenced the way on the ground YouTube streamers would have
- 38:00handled things, it would have changed the way the media
- 38:04handled it as. Well, right.
- 38:06Great comment. I hadn't thought about that at
- 38:09all. Yeah, K hunk one, Gavin, there's
- 38:14no real markings to indicate property lines.
- 38:17I I understand, however, it is somebody's property.
- 38:23If it is not on the street in that neighborhood, in almost any
- 38:27neighborhood, it is somebody's property.
- 38:30And it only takes about, I don't know, 16 milliseconds for a
- 38:36thinking person to to say yeah. I I shouldn't be on people's
- 38:43property now listen. I would also come to the defense
- 38:47of bold, good investigative journalist.
- 38:51People like Brian Anton, I bring him up all the time, right?
- 38:55Brian is a very, very, very good investigative reporter who will
- 39:00boldly approach people who will get interviews, but he will not,
- 39:09he will not go and just trespass on somebody's property.
- 39:13I, I, I can't imagine that he would do that.
- 39:16I imagine that he would ask for permission.
- 39:20Because that's what that's what any reporter would do.
- 39:24And any like trained reporter, somebody who's been on the job
- 39:27for a little while, somebody that's not just so overbearing
- 39:32and overly hyped about his or her own importance.
- 39:36I I that's, I guess that's my point, right.
- 39:41Thank you for the comments. Great.
- 39:45Yeah, poor delivery guy. I'd be mortified.
- 39:51Yeah, they're. True crime junkies.
- 39:53I see I see your comment. I I, I I'm not going to try to
- 39:59purposefully point out people specifically unless they are in
- 40:03an article that I'm reading and. The one that you want me to to
- 40:07check out is in an article that we're going to to get to just
- 40:15just keep on going, Mooney says. Gavin, I think you missed my
- 40:25ever so clever comment comma comment.
- 40:27Here goes commas save lives. Let's eat grandma versus let's
- 40:32eat grandma. Yeah, that's that's a good one.
- 40:36To be fair, he took front the front stoop pics.
- 40:38Yeah, that is true. Talking about Brian Enton, yes,
- 40:42his producer did go up to the front door.
- 40:45However, that is within the normal bounds of of of
- 40:52journalism, right? That that is within the normal
- 40:55confines. OK, I'm going to go up to the
- 40:58front door and knock on the door, see if anybody will talk
- 41:01to me. If they don't talk to me, I have
- 41:03something to report. They didn't answer the door.
- 41:06If they do talk to me, I have something to report.
- 41:08They answer the door and talk to me.
- 41:10Maybe it's off the record, maybe it's on background.
- 41:13Maybe they say get off my property, which I then turn
- 41:16around and do see I I can use the curtilage as as a reporter
- 41:22and that's perfectly fine. I can use the curtilage the way
- 41:26a normal person. What I should not do is walk
- 41:29around on people's property, and that's the difference.
- 41:33So, and actually, to your point, Ohio Palm Mom, I think it
- 41:38probably hurt the investigation, releasing the photography and
- 41:43video of the blood on the front porch.
- 41:48I think it probably did hurt the investigation.
- 41:50But I don't think that Brian Inton and his crew were outside
- 41:54of journalism ethics. I think that the scene shouldn't
- 41:58have been opened back up. That that's what I think.
- 42:03Let's see, Apple says, I respect you.
- 42:04Don't harass folks for content. I do my best.
- 42:07Do my best. Okie dokie, that's all.
- 42:11That's all you guys have with the GF on there.
- 42:14Want to make sure that we don't go too long tonight.
- 42:18Thank you to all of you who are joining me.
- 42:19By the way, we've got 679 people on by my count and and I am
- 42:24grateful that you would spend your time with me, especially
- 42:27those of you who are Spotify Premium members.
- 42:31I can't tell you how much it helps the channel.
- 42:34If you're a Spotify Premium member, you can watch this
- 42:37video, especially if you are a a Rewatch Crew member and you are
- 42:42a Spotify Premium member. Go go watch it on Spotify.
- 42:45It helps me out huge, way bigger than YouTube.
- 42:49And yeah, I don't I guess I don't need to beat that horse.
- 42:53OK, what was the next thing? OK, talking about the motive
- 42:58here. Let's.
- 42:59Let let's talk about. Why this kind of thing is
- 43:03happening? Why the rise of citizen
- 43:06journalism? You know, what are the good
- 43:09things about it? What are the bad things about
- 43:11it? And I actually think that
- 43:12there's a pretty good article from the 17th of last month that
- 43:17talks about this. This written by Megan Palin from
- 43:19the New York Post. Youtubers making thousands of
- 43:23dollars from ghoulishly hanging around crime scenes and
- 43:27unfounded theories. OK, let me just let me let me
- 43:31just pause here and offer a little criticism of the New York
- 43:35Post. They are, they are rather a
- 43:38tabloid and writing, writing that headline is a tabloid style
- 43:45headline. Also, I am a YouTube making
- 43:49money not by hanging around crime scenes, but by covering
- 43:53crimes. So I'm, I, I am also in the
- 43:57sights of, of this article, but I, but I also kind of think it's
- 44:00fair that I am. OK.
- 44:03This again talks about the the police scene.
- 44:07I'm sorry, the pizza delivery guy talks about JLR, you know
- 44:13who's camped out and then I'm I'll continue here, OK, quote
- 44:17we're trying to get. People a view from an outsider
- 44:19looking in to see what it's like, especially after the
- 44:21mainstream media goes home, said Alina Smith, Co, founder of
- 44:25Crime Scene Collective, a network of streamers who are.
- 44:28Also in Tucson, AZ at the Guthrie House.
- 44:32Quote I asked my supporters and followers what else they want,
- 44:35what they're looking for, and I try to give them that, she told
- 44:37The Post. To casual observers, it may seem
- 44:40bizarre to watch for hours only to see a little more than a
- 44:44police shift change happen. But.
- 44:46Streamers who have built their brands giving daily commentary
- 44:50on missing person cases, murders and police investigations have
- 44:54devoted communities who treat the cases like interactive
- 44:56mysteries. Rich's JLR investigated tips
- 45:01including an unrelated cartoon and a hospital airlift.
- 45:05He felt he could be connected to the case.
- 45:08He also takes requests for Super Chat cash donations.
- 45:10As do I, right quote. Is the doormat still there?
- 45:14One woman asked after donating $5.
- 45:17Richard Rich is obliged walking. Closer to Guthrie's house and
- 45:21zooming in on the mat. Yep, have a look, he replied.
- 45:24They haven't ever taken it away for testing.
- 45:27These DIY online channels can prove lucrative too, with top
- 45:31live streamers pulling in up to $30,000 a week, according to
- 45:34Smith. With fans flying in from other
- 45:37states to meet them, followers say they admire the doggedness
- 45:43and feel like they're part of the investigation.
- 45:45However, they are not, and this is where police say problems
- 45:50arise. During the ongoing search for
- 45:52Guthrie and in the absence of suspects and leads, there has
- 45:57been intense speculation, often fueled by live streamers.
- 46:01A fever pitch was reached with baseless accusations made
- 46:05against Nancy's son-in-law, Tomaso Sione, as he was the last
- 46:09person to see the 84 year old grandmother alive.
- 46:12I will come to the defense of streamers here.
- 46:15OK? It wasn't a streamer who made
- 46:17that accusation. That accusation came from the
- 46:24mainstream media anyway. 5th grade teacher Dominic Evidence,
- 46:2848, Evans, 48, said accusations against him exploded online
- 46:34after amateur investigators realized he played in a band
- 46:37with Sione and he had to send his kids away and hide inside
- 46:41his own home with the lights off as people went to great efforts
- 46:44to catch a glimpse of him. Guys, we are not those people,
- 46:48OK? We will just be happy Making
- 46:50less than $30,000 a week. I mean there there may come a
- 46:57time I hope there's a time when I am on the ground.
- 47:01I would love that. I would love to be on the ground
- 47:04for some of these cases. As I've said as late as
- 47:08yesterday, love to be on the ground with some of these cases,
- 47:11but I'm not going to be a JLR investigates.
- 47:16I, I would model myself after a person like Brian and, or other
- 47:23investigative journalists that do things the right way.
- 47:27We don't want people having to send their children away.
- 47:30We don't want, we don't want wild, we don't want to be making
- 47:34wild accusations against people. We don't want to have them, you
- 47:40know, hide in their homes. On February 16th, Pima County
- 47:44Sheriff Chris Nanos put out a statement refuting rumors and
- 47:47stating Guthrie's families members had been cleared of
- 47:50suspicion. So yeah, let's see, there was
- 47:56another one. Another case recently cautioned
- 47:59as to what can happen if people broadcast libelous and
- 48:02defamatory allegations online. Texas.
- 48:04TikTok tarot card reader Ashley Guillard repeatedly and
- 48:08baselessly claimed in videos that University of Idaho
- 48:12professor Rebecca Schofield had a secret romance with one of the
- 48:16four. Victims of the Moscow ID student
- 48:18murderers and had ordered the killings.
- 48:21She made the claims from November 22 onward, despite A
- 48:24lawsuit filed by Scofield a month later stating she had
- 48:27never met the victims and was out of the state when the
- 48:30murders occurred. Even after police said Scofield
- 48:33was not involved and despite cease and desist orders from
- 48:36lawyers, Guillard continued to make claims that led to a Boise
- 48:39court to rule against her and award Scofield $10 million in
- 48:43damages. Meanwhile, in December last
- 48:46year, quiet Brentwood LA Block turned into a live stream circus
- 48:49in the hours after Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle were
- 48:52allegedly murdered. They were murdered inside the
- 48:55mansion, allegedly by their own son.
- 48:58See, we should, we should switch around that that sentence a
- 49:01little bit. With disorderly social media
- 49:03influencers causing headaches for both neighbors and cops,
- 49:07several of them erupted in verbal arguments outside the
- 49:10crime scene and were forced by. Police.
- 49:13To turn down music blasting from a car.
- 49:15One man stood in front of the home wearing a black sweatshirt
- 49:17topped with a gold Burger King crown and repeatedly accused
- 49:21members of the meeting media of assaulting him, claiming at one
- 49:24point he touched my property and is invading my creative bubble.
- 49:28No arrests were made. So yeah, we got issues.
- 49:34We've got issues that there there is a place for citizen
- 49:41journalism. 100% but this is crossing a line man, these these
- 49:47kinds of stories, they're just absolutely crossing a line.
- 49:49It's like they are I. Mean, I mean, what are we doing
- 49:58as consumers of media? What are we?
- 50:01Doing this is causing me to take a hard look at myself.
- 50:09Do you guys watch Smarter every day?
- 50:14Smarter everyday Recently it's a YouTube channel, an engineer
- 50:18named Destin who reminded me of a lesson that I got years and
- 50:23years ago so cool about something called the Johari
- 50:28window, which is basically a a way for one to analyze oneself,
- 50:36right? It's, it's a method for self
- 50:40discovery of expanding the things you know about yourself
- 50:45and learning things that you don't know about yourself.
- 50:49It's terrific. And, and I'm having one of those
- 50:51moments, right? Like what are we doing as
- 50:56content creators and as content consumers that is causing a a
- 51:06market for behavior like this? Right, it's creating a market
- 51:12for behaviour like this and and maybe it's not I mean, this is
- 51:17just a little reflection, right? Maybe it's not just consumers
- 51:22driving it or content creators driving it.
- 51:24Maybe it's also that the trust in.
- 51:29The national media. The so-called mainstream media
- 51:34is at an all time low and so people are looking for someone
- 51:38they trust and then when they find somebody that I don't know
- 51:40they identify with, they latch on to that person.
- 51:42I don't know. I don't know it's worth it's.
- 51:46Worth trying to figure this out though for sure, but the reason
- 51:51that that content creators are doing it 100% in my opinion is
- 51:57financially. Well, no, no, no, that's
- 51:59overstating it. I would say the primary
- 52:01motivator for content creators is financially motivated.
- 52:07That includes me, right? But it also includes police
- 52:12officers. It includes judges and
- 52:15prosecutors and defense attorneys.
- 52:19Everybody's primary motivation is financial.
- 52:24So a main financial or a primary financial motivation in and of
- 52:30itself is not unrighteous, I guess, but it can become
- 52:36unhealthy, especially if we're talking about so much money,
- 52:40right? If I was out there making
- 52:42$30,000 a week. Crying out loud, you make more
- 52:46than the average American. You're in the top 1% or 2% of
- 52:52American earners after 4. Weeks of being on the ground
- 52:57right you're 6 figures so yeah it it can become unhealthy and
- 53:04unrighteous the the motivation itself in and of itself is not
- 53:08that but it it can become that let me see what what questions
- 53:16you guys are asking Leslie Hankins says Gavin the better
- 53:19self inquiry question is why are we not holding police
- 53:23accountable accountable to do the job when there is a vacuum,
- 53:26it will be filled by other seeking truth.
- 53:28I think that's a good question. I that, and and indeed it might
- 53:34even be a better question than what I was saying.
- 53:38I was kind of focusing my are my ire at the media coverage of it,
- 53:45of the traditional media. And you're focusing on police.
- 53:50I I do. Think that police?
- 53:52Could do a better job of just being transparent.
- 53:55A very good example of transparency in police was in
- 54:00the investigation of the case of Monique and Spencer Tepi.
- 54:06Right now, police in that case, they couldn't there.
- 54:12There were a lot of things they couldn't tell us, but we were
- 54:16all confident that they were, that they were.
- 54:23Working on it because they were talking to the media and they
- 54:25were answering questions and they were putting out statements
- 54:29and they were handling it really, really well.
- 54:32So yeah, I think I think you've got a good point.
- 54:40Let's see coffee time for D says hey slot GF would thank you and
- 54:45play music. For a $100 super sticker would
- 54:51play, I would play music for a super.
- 54:56That's hilarious. Now again, Archangel Morici,
- 55:02says Gavin, I'm sorry, but why the doormat wasn't taken to
- 55:05analyze? Was that statement correct?
- 55:08I don't. Know, I don't know.
- 55:11I mean JLR reported it was. I don't know if it was or not.
- 55:15Leslie says TMZ played a bigger role on the case, possibly
- 55:19throwing off track. All YouTube people put together
- 55:22did a fraction of the possible harm that TMZ did.
- 55:24Why are we not outraged at TMZ? I kind of am.
- 55:29I mean, right now we're I mean we're couching this discussion
- 55:34in the complaints that Youtubers are harassing people or a
- 55:41YouTube is harassing people. These are allegations that I
- 55:45don't know if he is harassing or she or if they think that he has
- 55:50or feel that he has. But but yeah, that that's
- 55:57probably why I'm not that's why I'm not talking about TMZ.
- 56:00It hasn't hasn't been part of the couching of the
- 56:05conversation. It's doodlebug Gavin.
- 56:07It's the. People who literally.
- 56:08Believe they have just as much right to be there 24/7.
- 56:16Hang on just one second. I just heard a loud crash in my
- 56:21house. Maybe that was Thunder or
- 56:26something. OK, it's doodlebug.
- 56:29It's the. People who literally.
- 56:31Believe they have just as much right to be there 24/7 as the
- 56:34homeowners that bother me. Smoking weed, cussing loud,
- 56:37loudly, shining bright lights, etcetera.
- 56:39I agree with that. I agree with that, Lee says.
- 56:45Mike Ruiz with Fox Digital did a great job too.
- 56:47Very respectful. Indeed he did, Mike.
- 56:49Mike's a professional too. Mike's terrific.
- 56:55Let's see. Oh, it's storming.
- 56:57That was that was Thunder that I heard through my headphones.
- 57:00Crazy autumn and I live in the same place.
- 57:05Okie, dokie. All right, So what did I plan
- 57:09next? I have to go to my notes, right?
- 57:13Let's see it. It got even messier than this,
- 57:18right? Going back to previous reporting
- 57:21again, this one from March 2nd, right?
- 57:25Ghoulish. Again, using the word ghoulish,
- 57:28what is it with the New York Post Ghoul this and ghoul that
- 57:32ghoulish Nancy Guthrie streamers are feuding with each other
- 57:36outside of her house as crime scene becomes grim spectacle
- 57:40again. The New York Post is pretty
- 57:43tabloidy that's written by Alex Olivera.
- 57:46Ghoulish streamers are turning Nancy Guthrie's Tucson home into
- 57:50a grim spectacle as they feud with each other a month after
- 57:53the 84 year old grandmother went missing. 1 streamer who goes by
- 57:56Kiki. Showed up at the crime scene
- 57:59over the weekend wearing a tiny pair of booty shorts and a crop
- 58:02top, accompanied by a leather clad cameraman.
- 58:06But she got into a fight online with other streamers who are on
- 58:09site, including the true crime gadfly JLR Investigates and
- 58:14another person known online as Criminal Network.
- 58:17They accused her of using the scene of the Guthrie tragedy to
- 58:20stage a risque photoshoot. They were salivating at that,
- 58:24that that caused drama. And yeah, footage from Kiki
- 58:29Stream captured somebody appearing to call her
- 58:31embarrassing until she flipped them the middle finger.
- 58:36The clip ended up on X, where the streamers had it out with
- 58:39each other. Quote, adults talking, pay
- 58:43attention, Kiki. Once this becomes about me or
- 58:45you, it's no longer about Nancy. So unless you're helping to find
- 58:49her, respectfully, STFU, Criminal Network wrote.
- 58:52Yeah, that was helpful. I will no longer entertain you
- 58:56or your hidden motives. Nancy.
- 58:57Notice your name is not Nancy. OK, but here's the thing.
- 59:02Those kinds of comments insert themselves into and.
- 59:05And this is the kind of. False righteousness that if it
- 59:11were in a religious setting, people would call what?
- 59:16You know what? What am I?
- 59:21What is the word that I'm looking for?
- 59:22Somebody help me out. It's it Well, hypocrisy, right?
- 59:26This, this is this is false righteousness.
- 59:29Say her name. Her name is Nancy.
- 59:30Your name is not Nancy. Don't put yourself in the middle
- 59:32of this. And yet by making that comment,
- 59:35this person is indeed putting themselves in the middle of it,
- 59:41and they're doing it by design that they're not doing it
- 59:45accidentally. You can't convince me of that.
- 59:47This is my opinion, but it's being done by design.
- 59:52OK, so. Yeah, you successfully turned
- 59:58all the attention from Nancy Guthrie and diverted it to me,
- 1:00:02Kiki wrote, calling out JL Rs account.
- 1:00:04I think the FBI would applaud you for your job well done.
- 1:00:07While you were focusing all your attention on me, I was reporting
- 1:00:10the facts and raising awareness in my own video, she added.
- 1:00:12Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, right?
- 1:00:13So now we we've got just idiots which.
- 1:00:18I mean, the Internet's full of them, right?
- 1:00:22We've just got. Idiots arguing and, and and
- 1:00:30they're making money doing it. OK, so we got messy behavior.
- 1:00:36The the shift, you know, of focus away from the case itself.
- 1:00:45Oh, let's see, there's this article.
- 1:00:48We vote on whether the family is guilty.
- 1:00:50Meet YouTube. YouTube's Nancy Guthrie, Sleuth
- 1:00:55by Karen Southern from thetimes.com OK 2. 1000.
- 1:00:59Watching Wow. Jimmy Williams says into the
- 1:01:02iPhone he is holding with a selfie stick.
- 1:01:04There's speculation maybe she's in Mexico.
- 1:01:07Nancy Guthrie. This is from February 23rd.
- 1:01:11For the live streamers covering the suspected abduction, doing
- 1:01:14nothing is not an option. Williams, who runs the Dolly
- 1:01:17Vision YouTube channel, is one of the Internet personalities
- 1:01:20who flocked to a case that is proven irresistible for true
- 1:01:22crime obsessives. Nancy, 84, is the mother, blah
- 1:01:26blah blah. OK Williams, a 54, a 51 year old
- 1:01:31former electrician, has been standing outside the Guthrie
- 1:01:33home from morning until night for days.
- 1:01:36Regardless of what is happening on scene, he has to entertain
- 1:01:39the viewers watching their thousands.
- 1:01:41His folksy charm has helped him amass almost 100,000 YouTube
- 1:01:44subscribers. Quote.
- 1:01:45It's a hurry up and wait thing, he said of filling the hours of
- 1:01:48dead time. You're waiting to catch the
- 1:01:50moment that everybody wants to see.
- 1:01:53It's almost like fishing. If you're in a rush, you're not
- 1:01:55going to catch any fish. But if you're patient, it's
- 1:01:57going to be here when everything goes down.
- 1:01:59And true crime, patience is key. It's just those few moments each
- 1:02:02day that really captivate everyone, and you've got to be
- 1:02:05here to catch those moments. Williams was on the scene when
- 1:02:09the FBI briefly erected a white tent outside Guthrie's home, a
- 1:02:12development. That product provoked excitement
- 1:02:14in a case where news. Was slow to trickle.
- 1:02:17He flew to Tucson from his home in Virginia Beach on the East
- 1:02:20Coast days after the story broke.
- 1:02:23He felt he left briefly before returning to the delight of his
- 1:02:25audience, who feast on every morsel of Guthrie content.
- 1:02:29So yeah. Quote, if overwhelmingly they
- 1:02:36want me to go somewhere else or do something and I'm willing to
- 1:02:39do it, you can't get Fox News to leave where they're at and set
- 1:02:41up somewhere else. This is more of a running gun
- 1:02:44type of media and it's just getting bigger and bigger.
- 1:02:46OK, So, you know, they're just been all sorts of just all
- 1:02:53sorts. Now I want to I want to switch.
- 1:02:57I want to switch. Instead of focusing on the
- 1:03:02people who are on scene, let's let's focus on the citizen
- 1:03:05journalism perspective of. This.
- 1:03:11Let's see. Yeah, Autumn is saying the the
- 1:03:16storm is wild right now. Yeah, Emmy is saying the police
- 1:03:19are at fault for releasing the crime scene too fast.
- 1:03:21They certainly should not have done that.
- 1:03:27Let's see, man, Can you guys hear the rain?
- 1:03:31It is storming hard out there. I hope we don't lose connection,
- 1:03:37antis says Gavin. We as the viewers need to be
- 1:03:39better about who do we choose to follow, subscribe.
- 1:03:41We should all be better about who gets our views.
- 1:03:44I wish everyone was as genuinely kind and ethical as you.
- 1:03:47Well, that was very self-serving to read that comment.
- 1:03:49But thank you. And I think that I think that
- 1:03:51some of the onus is on viewers. I do I I do.
- 1:03:58OK, I'm going to skip one thing and I want to go over to a 2022
- 1:04:06article about the rise of citizen journalism from UK
- 1:04:10Writers College. This is written.
- 1:04:13How is it written? By It doesn't say.
- 1:04:16It doesn't say, but it goes like this.
- 1:04:24Never before have ordinary citizens contributed so much to
- 1:04:28gathering and showcasing news. Is this a good thing and how
- 1:04:32does it impact traditional journalism?
- 1:04:36What is it? Subassis Roy investigates.
- 1:04:39OK Citizen journalism relies on the contributions of citizens
- 1:04:43for the process of gathering, analyzing, and disseminating
- 1:04:46news and information. The Cambridge English Dictionary
- 1:04:50defines citizen journalism as the activity of recording or
- 1:04:54writing about news stories, when this is done by ordinary people
- 1:04:57rather than by trained reporters.
- 1:05:00Abraham Zapruder recorded the assassination of John F Kennedy
- 1:05:04on 22 November 1963 with his home movie camera.
- 1:05:08His footage has become a classic and has been aired frequently on
- 1:05:12television channels throughout the world.
- 1:05:14This was long before the technological boom that erupted
- 1:05:17in the late 90's. The emergence of social media
- 1:05:21technologies, high speed Internet and smartphones with
- 1:05:24powerful cameras are democratizing media today.
- 1:05:28Someone will undoubtedly share a video or photo on social media
- 1:05:31pages when any major event takes place.
- 1:05:34And by the way, the media will often times show those people
- 1:05:39are sharing the news of these events on Twitter or on their
- 1:05:41Facebook pages or YouTube channels.
- 1:05:43They're all they also like sharing, comment on it.
- 1:05:45The war in Ukraine provides a stark example of this.
- 1:05:48Directly affected people provide the content much faster than any
- 1:05:52media outlet could ever reach them.
- 1:05:55There are many such examples of this around the world, whether
- 1:05:58it is the war in Syria, Libya or Yemen, the Arab Spring
- 1:06:01revolutions, the Manchester bombing or the demonstrations
- 1:06:04for Black Lives Matter. We see citizens at the forefront
- 1:06:07of reporting through social media.
- 1:06:09So is traditional journalism doomed to extinction?
- 1:06:13Now we must remember that the responsibility of a journalist
- 1:06:16is to provide accurate, unbiased and well informed information.
- 1:06:21OK. This is.
- 1:06:24This is actually a point of view that is refreshing to read, even
- 1:06:31written in 2022, because I mean, I remember, I think it was.
- 1:06:38A RealClearPolitics poll. It was a major polling
- 1:06:42organization. I don't know if it was RCP, but
- 1:06:45you know, they're, they do these polls from time to time about
- 1:06:50the, the trust in the media and so forth.
- 1:06:54And one of the. Polls was a was they questioned
- 1:06:59journalists about their role in and what it is that they do.
- 1:07:05And overwhelmingly, the journalists, you know, young
- 1:07:09journalists, people that are working in major newsrooms are
- 1:07:12saying, no, it's not my responsibility to provide
- 1:07:17unbiased information. My bias informs my reporting,
- 1:07:22not the other way around. And I see it the way it's
- 1:07:26written here, it needs to be accurate.
- 1:07:29It needs to be well informed. It needs to be unbiased.
- 1:07:35If you're a commenter like I am in this, you know, situation in
- 1:07:40this forum. Then you need to be.
- 1:07:44Sure that you, your audience understands you are providing
- 1:07:47commentary. That is your opinion and it is
- 1:07:49editorial. It is not the news.
- 1:07:54But if you are a news reporter like I am in my day job, then
- 1:07:59yeah, you can't be. You can't be letting your bias
- 1:08:03inform your reporting. Traditional journalism needs to
- 1:08:06be responsible and accountable, but such boundaries do not exist
- 1:08:10for citizen journalism. The result is that a lot of
- 1:08:13content on social media is biased and provides a personal
- 1:08:16perspective on a topic. A citizen journalist can portray
- 1:08:19a glass as half full or half empty based on his or her point
- 1:08:23of view. In the age of the ubiquitous
- 1:08:25reach of social media, this can negatively impact society.
- 1:08:29Yeah, and a journalist should just simply say, here's a glass
- 1:08:33that has water in it and let the viewer or the reader say for
- 1:08:38themselves whether they think it's half full or half empty.
- 1:08:42In the age of ubiquitous reach of social media, this can
- 1:08:44negatively impact society, Noam Chomsky, the celebrated American
- 1:08:48linguist, philosopher, historian and social critic, said the duty
- 1:08:51of journalists. Is to tell the truth.
- 1:08:53Journalism means you go back to the actual facts.
- 1:08:56You look at the documents, do you discover what the record is
- 1:08:58and you report it that way. Traditional journalists must
- 1:09:01validate the news item appearing on social media.
- 1:09:04Separating the wheat from the chaff is one of the critical
- 1:09:06responsibilities journalists present.
- 1:09:10A well balanced news item covering all the perspectives of
- 1:09:13a story rather than A1 dimension view.
- 1:09:16I would love your comments on this if you find that to be the
- 1:09:20case in in today's world because.
- 1:09:23I think that's. Probably 1 of the reasons that
- 1:09:26there's been a rise of citizen journalism is people don't
- 1:09:29believe this to be the truth, right?
- 1:09:34Let's see, professional journalists have enormous social
- 1:09:37reach. Their social media pages have
- 1:09:40huge followers. They can help spread the voice
- 1:09:42of a citizen journalist to thousands of people all over the
- 1:09:44world. While citizen journalists report
- 1:09:47on a single event, traditional journalists can offer a broader
- 1:09:50perspective. They can visualize a train of
- 1:09:52events. They can join the dots with
- 1:09:53their analysis and access data. About other events, therefore,
- 1:09:58we can see that citizen journalism offers speed and
- 1:10:00reach that complements traditional journalism, but the
- 1:10:03role of conventional journalism still remains.
- 1:10:06As an authoritative, authoritative source of accurate
- 1:10:09information and a balanced perspective, echoing the words
- 1:10:12of acclaimed journalist Christiane Amanpour.
- 1:10:15Good journalism, good television, can make our world a
- 1:10:18better place. That ended up kind of puffy, but
- 1:10:21I take the point. OK, the last one I wanted to
- 1:10:26zoom out on was Where is It? Oh, this from Writer's Digest,
- 1:10:36this again from 2022. I don't know.
- 1:10:41We've already kind of, we've already kind of beat this horse.
- 1:10:46Will the journalism industry adapt that?
- 1:10:48That's what I wanted to read. OK.
- 1:10:50We're seeing a huge shift in how and where consumers get their
- 1:10:52news, and journalism is expanding and evolving.
- 1:10:55People have switched to the Internet for convenience and
- 1:10:57choice and no longer rely on traditional outlets.
- 1:11:00It's a world of instant information and on the scene
- 1:11:03reporting and citizens are filling a void left by a
- 1:11:07mainstream media astoundingly out of touch with ordinary
- 1:11:10people. Many former traditional
- 1:11:13journalists such as Pulitzer Prize winning Glenn Greenwald
- 1:11:17have left the mainstream and established their own news
- 1:11:20sites, blogs and newsletters and successfully utilize online
- 1:11:23platforms such as Substack, a subscription based service
- 1:11:27meanwhile. Traditional journalism is
- 1:11:29suffering. Hundreds of local newspapers,
- 1:11:32magazines and newsrooms have closed.
- 1:11:34By the way, in my area I work for a an online publication that
- 1:11:38has absolutely. Destroyed what was the £800
- 1:11:47gorilla in our area? 100 and some odd year old paper
- 1:11:55it has, has been relegated to almost nothing because of the
- 1:12:01work that we do now. I mean, I'm not, I'm not proud
- 1:12:05of that. I think we should have
- 1:12:06competition. Well, I guess I am a little
- 1:12:08proud of it because it doesn't matter why.
- 1:12:12But the the fact the matter is hyper local news when done
- 1:12:19responsibly, citizen journalism when done responsibly can add to
- 1:12:27the the journal of our time, I guess is what I'm getting at.
- 1:12:32Oh, here it is. This is backed up by recent
- 1:12:34numbers from the Edelman Trust Barometer report, which reveals
- 1:12:38trust in traditional news journalism is at an all time
- 1:12:41low. Just 39% of people in the US
- 1:12:43said they trust the media, down 6 points from 2021.
- 1:12:45And remember, this is 2022. 2/3 of people worldwide view the
- 1:12:50government and media as divisive forces in society.
- 1:12:54Established journalists often resent citizen journalists
- 1:12:57saying they have no right to the title as they have none of the
- 1:13:00skills, training, qualifications or experience.
- 1:13:02They're partly correct. Most are amateurs and the
- 1:13:05information can be. Questionable and is just as
- 1:13:07slanted as traditional media. The Edelman report also showed a
- 1:13:14significant dip in people's trust in social media.
- 1:13:16It was right at 37%. So anyway, that's the part that
- 1:13:21I wanted to bring up to you guys.
- 1:13:22So OK, can we please? I'm just going to I'm going to,
- 1:13:30I'm going to put out. I'm just.
- 1:13:33Going to beg my my citizen journalist friends, specifically
- 1:13:40Youtubers. OK, specifically on the ground
- 1:13:44in Tucson? YouTube colleagues OK, pull back
- 1:13:52on the reins a little bit, a lot of bit.
- 1:13:56Pull back on the reins. Calm down, stop trespassing,
- 1:14:02stop harassing and start doing real journalism.
- 1:14:08There are, there are courses that you can take online that
- 1:14:13will teach you the ethics and responsibilities of journalism
- 1:14:19and, and everybody who is doing citizen journalism who, who
- 1:14:24decides to do it professionally, right?
- 1:14:28Should take those kinds of courses or like in my case and
- 1:14:33I'm not holding myself up as some like great example, but.
- 1:14:36Because it was almost accidental, but I went to work
- 1:14:39for a good media organization that had to.
- 1:14:43Pull. Back the reins on my behalf.
- 1:14:45No, Gavin, I'm not publishing that.
- 1:14:48You cannot say that. No, Gavin, all I heard was no,
- 1:14:53no, no, no, no. For like the first year and a
- 1:14:56half. This has got to be changed and I
- 1:14:59would have temper tantrums. Well, I'm not putting my name on
- 1:15:01that. OK, we'll take your name off of
- 1:15:04it and we'll publish it the way I edited it, right?
- 1:15:07And I'm so grateful looking back.
- 1:15:09That I had editors that would do that to me and for me.
- 1:15:14So my colleagues, my YouTube colleagues that fancy yourself
- 1:15:18citizen journalists, as long as you're creating a journal, I
- 1:15:22think that you are a citizen journalist.
- 1:15:24Be more responsible, be more ethical and and and.
- 1:15:30Be on the ground and do good work.
- 1:15:32It's awesome that you're there. Just stop the harassing, stop
- 1:15:37the trespassing. Stop the stop stop circus, will
- 1:15:42you? And and remember, I mean, what
- 1:15:46is the point? What is the point in all this?
- 1:15:49The point, the point. This is the .84 year old Nancy
- 1:15:58Guthrie is still missing. She's probably dead and we want
- 1:16:01to hold whoever did this to her responsible.
- 1:16:05That is the point. And now, Wanda, I'm going to
- 1:16:12need you again. Can we get?
- 1:16:19Can we get some transition music?
- 1:16:21Because I I. Think what we're what we're we
- 1:16:23need to transition to. Oh, Wanda has got other people
- 1:16:28walking into the booth. Wanda, you guys ready?
- 1:16:32OK, transition music. Here we go.
- 1:16:43Wow, that was talent. Are those your nephews?
- 1:16:48Amazing. You guys have anything
- 1:17:01Still going. That is terrific.
- 1:17:04Let's do 3. Questions.
- 1:17:05It's three questions with Gavin Fish.
- 1:17:12How Okie Dokie in the three questions segment we answer.
- 1:17:19I answer three of your questions that you sent to me at
- 1:17:23threequestions@gavinfish.com. It is 3 questions at
- 1:17:27gavinfish.com. What is it?
- 1:17:29It's three questions at gavinfish.com spelled out THRE
- 1:17:33send me 1000 questions, send me one question, ask me about the
- 1:17:37mysteries of the universe, ask me of my favorite color,
- 1:17:39everything in between and I promise that I will answer each
- 1:17:43and every one of. Those questions to the best of
- 1:17:45my knowledge and, but but I get to do it in the order that I see
- 1:17:50fit. So question #1 tonight.
- 1:17:51And I like the ones where you guys can answer the questions
- 1:17:54too. Those are my favorite ones from
- 1:17:57Christina. Would you rather explore the
- 1:18:00ocean or explore space? This is an easy one for me,
- 1:18:02Christina as I am. I'm not afraid of water, but I
- 1:18:09feel like the worst way to die would be drowning.
- 1:18:14Now understanding that if you're in space and something happens,
- 1:18:18you you. Effectively are drowning.
- 1:18:21Right. There's a lack of oxygen, but I
- 1:18:24don't. Know just drowning for me that
- 1:18:26the worst way to go. Plus in space you're flying, so
- 1:18:32I would rather explore space than the ocean.
- 1:18:37I don't want to be crushed. On the other hand, do I want to
- 1:18:41like, explode rather than implode?
- 1:18:44Oh, I just I. Just taking a dark turn.
- 1:18:47Dark, dark, dark. Yeah, I I would rather explore
- 1:18:51space. Christina, thank you very much
- 1:18:53for the question from Kelly. If you could be any male
- 1:18:57professional athlete, who would it be and why?
- 1:19:00If I could be a professional male athlete.
- 1:19:02OK, I, I want your answers to this.
- 1:19:06Doesn't have to be male, could be female.
- 1:19:08But for me, I'm answering Kelly's question.
- 1:19:13I think I would want to be. You know, I saw.
- 1:19:17A. I saw a clip of Tiger.
- 1:19:20Woods way back in the day where he made this.
- 1:19:23Chip off of, off of. The green in the rough to like
- 1:19:2820 feet above the pen. And then it rolled in just
- 1:19:31perfectly. And he was like celebrating.
- 1:19:34Yeah. You know, And he it was, it was
- 1:19:36celebrating as if he had cured cancer.
- 1:19:38That is one of the things that I hate about professional sports
- 1:19:43is ultimately you guys are out there in tights.
- 1:19:48You've got some apparatus that you need to get something into
- 1:19:52through around nearby. You know, what sports ball are
- 1:19:59you going to put in what apparatus that that is basically
- 1:20:01professional sports like American football that is just
- 1:20:05angry men in tights aggressively snuggling.
- 1:20:09It's just not my thing. It's not my thing.
- 1:20:13But there are a couple of athletes that I love.
- 1:20:15OK #1 Yogi Berra. OK, I love Yogi Berra.
- 1:20:22He didn't take himself seriously.
- 1:20:24He played a good sports ball game.
- 1:20:27I do love baseball. I love the game.
- 1:20:29I don't like the professionalism side of things, but I love Yogi
- 1:20:34Berra. I thought that he was witty and
- 1:20:36clever and hilarious, and I think for the very same reason.
- 1:20:41I would have to say Bob Euchre for #2 Those guys are just
- 1:20:45hilarious. Never took themselves seriously,
- 1:20:48though. They loved their game, right?
- 1:20:51And I, I can respect that. I think that's awesome.
- 1:20:53So I guess I would choose Yogi Berra and the uke.
- 1:20:59Bob Euchre and question #3 comes from John.
- 1:21:04Where did you take the misses on a first?
- 1:21:05Date. John, you've opened a can.
- 1:21:11You've opened a can. John, I have shared.
- 1:21:16This on the channel before I'm happy to share it again.
- 1:21:19It's not a super long story, but here's the thing.
- 1:21:24I met the future missus fish, my snuggly bear, my sweetie pie, my
- 1:21:29one and only through a mutual. Friend and we all went to church
- 1:21:34together. I had moved into the area.
- 1:21:36I had this old friend. She was a new.
- 1:21:39Friend of my snuggly bear sweetie pie one and only and she
- 1:21:42introduced us. Now this friend was dating a guy
- 1:21:47who was a private pilot and had access to a plane.
- 1:21:52Multiple planes. You would rent planes right?
- 1:21:56And our mutual friend was saying hey my my guy friend and I are
- 1:22:03going on a date. You and the future missus Fish
- 1:22:08should join us. We are going to fly down to Half
- 1:22:12Moon Bay and grab dinner. And this friend of ours, this Co
- 1:22:17friend, this mutual friend of both Kimberly and I, she is the
- 1:22:21daughter of a private pilot as well, famous in our circles for
- 1:22:28flying war birds and stuff. Like really cool guy.
- 1:22:32So she was around aviation her whole life.
- 1:22:34She was probably attracted to aviators.
- 1:22:37And so anyway, they invited us to do this as a double date.
- 1:22:41So I go to Kimberly and I say, hey, would you be interested in
- 1:22:46going on a double date with me and with this person and that
- 1:22:50person? I don't want to give their names
- 1:22:52because I haven't got their permission.
- 1:22:53But anyway, she goes, that sounds like fun.
- 1:22:56And I said what we're going to do is we're going to.
- 1:22:58Hop in a plane, private plane, and we're going to fly down from
- 1:23:03Sacramento to Half Moon Bay. They say it's a beautiful
- 1:23:07flight. I've never done it before, but
- 1:23:09we're just going to grab pizza. Are you up for it?
- 1:23:10She's like, yeah, I'm up for it. And when I pick her up, she was
- 1:23:15looking good. She was looking.
- 1:23:19I mean, my wife doesn't overdo things ever.
- 1:23:22She never has. She's just tasteful.
- 1:23:25She was looking great. She was wearing these.
- 1:23:29She was wearing an outfit with white pants.
- 1:23:30It's this beautiful little summer outfit.
- 1:23:32It was great. It was great.
- 1:23:35She looks so good. Any who we get to the airport,
- 1:23:41drive to the airport to meet our friends and we pull up to the
- 1:23:43ramp and there's the. Plane exactly what I expected.
- 1:23:48It was a it was a Cessna 182. I think it was a 1956 fastback.
- 1:23:55Kimberly the future Misses fish, my sweetie pie, Snuggly bear one
- 1:23:59and only. Was expecting more of a Pretty
- 1:24:01Woman scenario where she was going to be getting onto a
- 1:24:04private jet, not into A4 passenger airplane with a prop
- 1:24:09on the front of it. A Volkswagen with wings is what
- 1:24:13she called it. She didn't say it.
- 1:24:15Then the other thing about Kimberly that I did not know
- 1:24:18because this was our first date, is she gets motion sick.
- 1:24:21So she was, she just wasn't enjoying herself at all.
- 1:24:27But we take this beautiful flight.
- 1:24:29We go from Sacramento, we go down to the Bay Area.
- 1:24:31We get out over Oakland. We crossover the Bay Bridge.
- 1:24:36We then crossover the Golden Gate Bridge.
- 1:24:38Just as the sun is setting in front of us, we hang a left.
- 1:24:43We go down the coast, over over the water, down the coastline to
- 1:24:46Half Moon Bay, land at this beautiful little airport, tie
- 1:24:50down the plane. We go and grab a pizza, we take
- 1:24:54it out to the Marina. We sit on the dock.
- 1:24:58The sun is now like just kissing the water and and we have pizza
- 1:25:06and I think I had some some like sparkling cider or something
- 1:25:10like that. And the four of us just watch
- 1:25:12the sun go down, eating our pizza and drinking our little
- 1:25:17bubbly out of the bottle. And then we got in the plane and
- 1:25:22we flew home the same way. And there's a different view
- 1:25:26this time. It was a night time view of the
- 1:25:28Bay Area. It was beautiful.
- 1:25:30Now, I thought it was the world's greatest first date.
- 1:25:32If it, if it would have been me flying, that would be the only
- 1:25:35what ended up happening is I was like, I got to get my pilot's
- 1:25:38license and this friend taught me how to do it.
- 1:25:41And I I found a flight school, found an instructor and and got
- 1:25:45my license and everything starting with that date.
- 1:25:49Kimberly has been in a plane with me exactly 2 more times in
- 1:25:56the 26 years that we've been married.
- 1:25:59She just doesn't like it and she doesn't she she gets sick from
- 1:26:04the motion sickness and and it's not romantic to her.
- 1:26:08It's not like she doesn't. She doesn't feel the romance of
- 1:26:12flight like I do, but that was our first date.
- 1:26:15I would love to hear about your first dates and the comment and
- 1:26:19comments. And while you are jotting those
- 1:26:22down, I do have a couple of headlines.
- 1:26:25Let's get into them. True crime headlines.
- 1:26:33Wow. Okey dokey.
- 1:26:35Headline #1 from aol.com written by Aaron Johnson, This came out

- 1:27:00of his top deputies for kidnapping a female prisoner.

- 1:27:27is that is essay the. Lustful Out has since been

- 1:27:37only only the latest black eye for Nanos.
- 1:27:41Radar Online reported on March 2nd.
- 1:27:43The 40 year department veteran has been accused of bumbling the
- 1:27:46Nancy Guthrie crime scene, dragging his feet with the FBI,
- 1:27:49blah blah blah. So anyway, Sheriff Nanos is
- 1:27:53having issues. Man I I wonder if he will even
- 1:27:57seek re election. Next one coming to us from the
- 1:28:00New York Post in the Rex Heuerman case, again, kind of a
- 1:28:05tabloid headline junkie who stole ex police chief's sex
- 1:28:08toys, tried to visit Gilgo Beach serial killer for bizarre sit
- 1:28:11down. A career criminal who's scrapped
- 1:28:15with a disgraced Long Island police chief, ended the cop's
- 1:28:18career, tried to get a jailhouse sit down with Gilgo Beach killer
- 1:28:21Rex Heuerman, A desperate bid to try to implicate the ex cop in
- 1:28:25the grisly murders. The Post has learned ex junkie
- 1:28:28Christopher Loeb. That's disparaging was viciously
- 1:28:34beaten by former Suffolk County police chief Jimmy Burke in
- 1:28:362012. That was quite a story after
- 1:28:38stealing in the cops sex toys sending the controversial cop to
- 1:28:46prison and he said he remains convinced the former chief was
- 1:28:49somehow involved in humor man's monstrous crime.
- 1:28:52So he's trying to get, he's trying to get that cop looped
- 1:28:57into the long. Island serial killer case dumb.
- 1:29:03#3 this in the Anna Kepner case. Since you guys are asking, I did
- 1:29:08check out the docket again today.
- 1:29:11I haven't seen anything new in there but from people.com
- 1:29:15stepbrother charged with SA ING and murdering Anna Kepner is not
- 1:29:19in custody still with family, prosecutors announced on April
- 1:29:2510th at TH. Mr. Hudson, 16 year old
- 1:29:28stepbrother of Anna Kepner, had been indicted on charge of
- 1:29:31murder and aggravated essay by a federal grand jury and would be
- 1:29:34tried as an adult. Five days later, he is still not
- 1:29:37in custody and continues to spend his.
- 1:29:39Days at the home of his uncle or accompanying his father to work,
- 1:29:42according to documents filed in federal court on in Miami.
- 1:29:45And that is the document that we read yesterday.
- 1:29:48And there's a reason for this. It is because there has they
- 1:29:52have to go through the process. It's now transferred to adult
- 1:29:55court. He has to have a bond hearing.
- 1:29:58They'll probably be revoked. That's my guess.
- 1:30:00But for now, he remains a free young man.
- 1:30:05And now. And now for the good news of the
- 1:30:08day. The good news of the day.
- 1:30:12This coming to us from today.com.
- 1:30:15Chick-fil-A employee returns $10,000 found in bathroom Oh my
- 1:30:20goodness, I love people sometimes.
- 1:30:22Written by Joseph Lamour for today.com, a fast food worker
- 1:30:27look at his face a fast food worker and and a Chick-fil-A
- 1:30:30employee to boot. A fast food worker and Good
- 1:30:33Samaritan made sure a customer was blessed with relief on
- 1:30:37Easter weekend. On April 3rd, Jayden Sintrone, a
- 1:30:42Chick-fil-A worker in Kingston, North Carolina, became a hero to
- 1:30:46a customer who had misplaced 2 envelopes containing $9833 in.
- 1:30:52Cash. He found them that morning in
- 1:30:55the men's restroom quote. They were on the floor next to
- 1:30:57the toilet. My first thought was just like,
- 1:31:00OK, now this isn't happening, Citron told NBC affiliate WITN
- 1:31:05on April 7th. Something is wrong.
- 1:31:08According to the affiliate, one envelope was labeled First
- 1:31:10Citizens Bank with $5000 inside and another labeled Truest Bank
- 1:31:15with $4333 inside. Rather than pocket the money
- 1:31:19himself, he picked it up and brought it to human resources,
- 1:31:22Cintron said. John McFall, the owner operator
- 1:31:26of the Kingston Chick-fil-A, says he's grateful for employees
- 1:31:29like Cintron. Quote, acts like this reflect
- 1:31:32the values our restaurants aim to uphold each day, and we're
- 1:31:35proud to see that lived out here at Chick-fil-A in Kingston.
- 1:31:38McFall said in a statement provided to TODAY by
- 1:31:41Chick-fil-A. Centrone told the station the
- 1:31:44money was returned to its owner, who offered him $500.00 for
- 1:31:47turning it in quote. I don't want anything out of
- 1:31:50this, he told WITN, declining the money several times before
- 1:31:53he eventually relented. I was in the right place at the
- 1:31:56right time, but more than that, my faith teaches me to do what's
- 1:31:59right and care for others, Centrone said in a statement
- 1:32:02provided to Today by Chick-fil-A.
- 1:32:04Knowing how devastating it would be to lose something like that,
- 1:32:07I just wanted to make sure it got back to its owner.
- 1:32:10I'm grateful I could help, and I'm humbled by the response.
- 1:32:12Let's get his picture up here one more time.
- 1:32:15Mr. Jayden Centrone. Thank you, Sir, for being a Good
- 1:32:21Samaritan. That restores my faith in
- 1:32:25humanity and, you know, ends the segment of headlines.
- 1:32:32Here we go. True crime.
- 1:32:41Headlines All righty. Let's end this show strong
- 1:32:46deeply appreciate the the Super chat from Galen Gam.
- 1:32:51I always appreciate your reporting.
- 1:32:53I am a little concerned that they have a law that they're
- 1:32:56trying to pass in California against citizen journalism.
- 1:32:59I, I better look that up. Thank you very much, Gay Lynn.
- 1:33:03I, it, it's, it's a First Amendment thing.
- 1:33:07If, if there is a law that is passed against citizen
- 1:33:10journalism, it will go straight to the Supreme Court very
- 1:33:15quickly and it will be tossed very quickly.
- 1:33:18It's like it's, it is, it is in the 1st Amendment.
- 1:33:24So funny. Very good.
- 1:33:29Jenny says. Autumn Gavin is a diamond in the
- 1:33:31rough, in my humble opinion. Thank you.
- 1:33:34He's always very level headed. We'll look at all sides.
- 1:33:37It's very fair. Love his coverage.
- 1:33:38I thank you, Jenny. I appreciate that.
- 1:33:42Let's see cowboy logic. The Pittsburgh Post Gazette for
- 1:33:49a fact was the £100 gorilla in the room for well over 100
- 1:33:52years. Those days are gone.
- 1:33:53Indeed, the Post Gazette is gone.
- 1:33:55Not the only one in western Pennsylvania.
- 1:33:58Melanie Main says yes. Well said Gavin.
- 1:34:00Not sure what what you agree with but thank you for agreeing
- 1:34:03with me. Ohio Palm Mom says when.
- 1:34:06So many traditional media sources are owned by the same
- 1:34:08entity, the slanted viewpoint of the employer can come through
- 1:34:11regardless of the rider. Indeed, Debbie says yes.
- 1:34:16Misses Guthrie is the missing point.
- 1:34:19That's probably what Melanie was saying.
- 1:34:22She is the She is the point. She is the point.
- 1:34:25And Wanda's nephews with their harmonies.
- 1:34:28Pretty amazing, right? Anything else you guys want Me?
- 1:34:33Let's see. Coffee time for DS says I would
- 1:34:37be Wayne Gretzky. You know Wayne Gretzky is a guy
- 1:34:39too. I like Wayne Gretzky, that is.
- 1:34:43That is a good choice for sure. See if there's anything else
- 1:34:52affordable. Miss Ford, Sable.
- 1:34:58Any future Ascot sightings? Well, I see the Ascot all the
- 1:35:03time and and every once in a while I will even wear it to
- 1:35:06church, like on a chilly day. Will we do an Ascot?
- 1:35:09Me anything? Will we?
- 1:35:11Will we be wearing an Ascot? I guess you know what is our
- 1:35:15next? What is our next?
- 1:35:18I guess what would be the next major milestone?
- 1:35:24200,000 subscribers maybe or let's see if I go to mute this.
- 1:35:33Just looking right now I have 16,856,172 views, maybe 20
- 1:35:42million views. We could do an Ascot, me
- 1:35:44anything, something like that that would be good.
- 1:35:47And Debbie saying we love our velvet voice to fair reporting
- 1:35:50hippie. You guys are most kind.
