   You Were Never Getting ‘Objective’ News

   Join my Free Newsletter - https://Chakkalo.com/ Follow me on X - It's fun - https://twitter.com/@MrChakkaloThere is no such thing as objective news. Not from legacy media. Not from independent creators. Not from me. In this video, I break down: Why “objectivity” was always a filtered process How media framing shapes what you think is “truth” Why algorithms reward outrage, not nuance And how I actually approach news on this channel The real shift isn’t from objective → biased. It’s from hidden bias → visible bias. And if you’re not aware of that… you’re being played by the system.

   Ro Khanna’s Creator Bill of Rights… What Are They Thinking?

   Join my Free Newsletter - https://Chakkalo.com/ Follow me on X - It's fun - https://twitter.com/@MrChakkalo Congress wants to “protect creators.” I’m not buying it. In this video, I react to the proposed Creator Bill of Rights pushed by Ro Khanna — and break down why this sounds good on paper… but raises a lot of serious questions. We’re talking about: "Free” healthcare for creators… funded how? What a “fair share” of revenue actually means. Whether platforms owe creators anything at all. The idea of owning your audience (and why you probably don’t)Algorithm transparency, portability, and government involvement. I’m not anti-creator. I am a creator. But I’m also a business operator — and I don’t think government stepping into this space is the solution. This is a nuanced take. No teams. No scripts. Just real thinking.
