Real Talk

ok so I made a shitpost controversy entry but I feel like it's valid to create a legitimate controversy page. if you visit the YouTube pages for both of the channels it's littered with negative comments and angry fans. The original channel hasn't posted a video in a month. it'd be basically impossible to cite, except for the fact that you can see the controversy unfolding before you.

i can't write in the style of wikipedia so if anyone can do it for me it'll help the fans out because controversy while it gives attention to the channels brings a huge negative energy to the workers and staff and they deserve it — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.103.140.22 (talk) 00:07, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Left-Leaning?

Shouldn't this be replaced with "politically left" or "left-wing" ? Nicnote • ask me a question • contributions 23:49, 1 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There really alt-left if you ask me, as, they have edited video to suit there agenda. Drvontacos (talk) 17:27, 7 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Nicnote and Drvontacos: I'm still not sure if this description is accurate. Why does this article describe it as "a Left-Leaning digital news company" instead of "centrist" or "non-partisan"? Jarble (talk) 20:23, 17 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Jarble:lol - Have you watched a video from their channels? If Fox News is right-wing then NT is definitely left-wing. I mean, they have one channel completely dedicated to weed and another to thrashing Donald Trump. On the spectrum it's nowhere near non-partisan or centrist. It's like if called Fox News centrist. I personally don't support either organisation, but they both fit somewhere on the political spectrum. Nicnote • ask me a question • contributions 21:09, 17 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

THEY HAVE EDITED VIDEO TO SUIT THEIR AGENDA! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Drvontacos (talk • contribs) 15:27, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Controversy

Now this has edited several videos in order to incriminate subjects. Drvontacos (talk) 17:26, 7 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Awards

I have removed the list of award, because none of them seemed independently noteworthy, nor where they contextualized by reliable, independent sources. This is the norm for awards sections on corporate article on Wikipedia. I invite discussion here. Grayfell (talk) 06:56, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Worthless far-left propaganda rag

Why is there no mention that Now This is a far-left polemic and conspiracy site? It is a highly popular publisher on Snapchat, where it indoctrinates millions of gullible teens with its nonsense. If it were conservative, you could bet Wikipedia would have immediately inserted "far-right/alt-right" into the leading sentence and demanded no one remove it. It's very sad and rather disturbing how incredibly biased Wikipedia is. I know for a fact that you have to be extremely left-wing in order to become an administrator on this site. The only thing good about Wikipedia is its science, technology, and popular culture articles. Everything else—especially in the field of History and anything having to do with modern politics—is utter garbage. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2606:6000:FD0A:FB00:84DC:7FA1:DD01:599E (talk) 06:16, 11 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Connection to AJ /Al Jazeera

Now This has a very similar format as the information posts of AJ or Al Jazeera on both Twitter and Facebook. AJ despite being a Qatar-based news service focuses mostly Information Posts critical of US political and social events rather than criticizing its own home nation, Qatar. NowThis is running almost the exact same layout in its presentations and it too focuses on what some would say are America's social and political weak points. Is there any connection between these two Facebook and Twitter "Info" spammers? 203.131.210.82 (talk) 03:23, 19 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
