PickVidsBest Media, journalism & propaganda Videos
「Media, journalism & propaganda」下面有334部被不同的人、在不同月份推荐过的视频。挑的时候先看对象：入门2部，适合还没学过的人；进阶2部，适合已经懂术语的人；普通向330部，按兴趣就能看；更硬的0部，留给想看推导或细节的人。这一类数量最多的是评论，所以它们的共同点是在已经发生的事情上给出一种解读。常出现的频道包括LastWeekTonight、Innuendo Studios、CNN。目录给这个主题划的范围是：Media: journalism, news analysis, propaganda, misinformation, news satire, Last Week Tonight, VICE documentaries, media criticism, advertising and persuasion, conspiracy theories, UFOs.如果只看三部，就从《In Search Of A Flat Earth》开始，它负责把问题讲出画面；然后看《The Century of the Self (Full Adam Curtis Documentary)》，换一种讲法或例子；最后看《The Loving Trap》，留给已经有基础的人。页面按每页24部切开，顺序看的是被推荐跨越了多少个月，不是播放量。每条标题下面那一句是这部片子自己的内容说明，用来区分它在讲定义、过程、演示还是观点。点进去能看到推荐原话、原文链接和适合谁看。看的时候把强烈推荐当成有人明确叫你去看，把引用当成只是拿来举例，把批评留下来对照，不要把每条评论都当成同一力度。
