Johnny Harris calling himself a "journalist" and standing for "journalistic integrity" is the biggest joke of the decade on YT 😂🤣

Aren't you the guy being sued because you stole footage from someone else? did they teach that in your journalism class? you should everything for not admitting fault

It sounds like it’s modeled a bit on the original VICE News. Going to check it out.

Why are there 550k plus views but half as many subscribers on the new channel.... Come on people
@saxophobe Says:
You know, I was really feeling excited about the new channel…until you said it was about sports.
@PipinhoSnow Says:
Good luck :)
@neurojitsu Says:
I think it's not so much about the large news organisation's profit motive, so much as their embeddedness in wider systems of influence and power that do not serve the interests of the 'common' good. There is a threshold size of organisation or personal wealth, over which money just starts making money (providing of course it's managed well) and the values/personal motives of the founders gets corrupted in the form of organisation politics, wider lobbying and influence trading, including money as a proxy sort of influence. In a sense, independence of journalism is related to loyalties, and whether they get corrupted.
My question to you would be how will you avoid size - of company, team, audience - corrupting what you do? My suspicion - though I'm not sure - is that organisations above a certain size of team (maybe the dunbar number applies?) will inevitably at some point run into problems of scaling their 'integrity' that comprises values, intentions, aligned interests etc of the team and audience. Most organisations chase growth, often after accepting growth funding from investors, which often means losing sight of the original mission. Some rare companies manage it, such as Patagonia. I look forward to seeing where your venture goes next.

Oh my another preveyer of the left journalist with nearly no College science, what could go wrong?, I would suggest a couple of far right science members in your staff.
@rangertuck9158 Says:
I really like your content, and getting news that isnt sold as entertainment on the telly. I missed this video, sometimes my feed skips a video, idk why. I subscribed to the new channel. Thank you for your work and dedication. Stay safe.

I doubt this comment reaches you J.H but I followed you for a long time and I trust you based on what I've seen. However I can't trust Sam Ellis because of reasons which I won't get into.
My question is why Sam and how well do you know Sam?

Hello Johnny,
I've heard about the remarkable work you've been engaged in, and I must say, I'm truly impressed by the world-class quality of your endeavors. Recently, a friend of mine also mentioned your new project, "Search Party," and I couldn't be more excited for you. I want to extend my best wishes and let you know that I'm fully committed to supporting your work by sharing it with those within my network.
Being a student of International Relations myself, I firmly believe that your content is essential for anyone seeking an authentic perspective on global issues. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you believe I can participate in any way to your project.
Warm regards,

I have been watching you for a year or less. Like most people it was the McDonald's video that I found first from a Google search. For me (and maybe most people hence the 4.3m subs) it's not just the content but it's the DELIVERY. It's what the person offers that attracts a viewer. For me, it's the details, the logic, the straight forwardness. It's the no flashy lights, no loud/overbearing music. There's no yelling , or whispering. For me it's just perfectly crafted journalism. This doesn't appeal to all people but it appeals to me and I for one, am happy I found your channel and I reccommend it and often specific videos to many people. I once again recommended the McDonald's video to someone yesterday. I will definitely be checking out your other channel. (ps-- I LOVE MAPS TOO!!)
@jirotomiyama5589 Says:
I believe in the work you are doing. I wonder why you haven't done a video on how business and the upper 10% of the U.S. population hijacked the American economy and government? Robert Reich did a video on the Powell Memo which helped kick off the process in the early 70's. I think you folks could do a better presentation of it.
@Dili832 Says:
Been following you since the first borders series with Vox! Congrats on the next step. I’ve told everyone I know about you
Keep making awesome videos
@theotherguy6155 Says:
damn this dude is begging for sponsors in his first video for the channel lol
@vanillaquicksand8025 Says:
@johnnyharris you should do a podcast
@digbyskellington Says:
Are you funding this new channel out of Youtube revenue alone, or do you have other corporate/think-tank partners? I think it would be interesting to know about the economics behind modern video journalism.
@Zederator Says:
You have reached the pinnacle of journalism perfection Johnny. Keep going my friend.
@paulcooper1046 Says:
When I took Political Geography upon returning to school recently, I learned how complex global political issues are in contrast to being dumbed down into intellectually dishonest internet memes. I'm curious about Vox Atlas now. Cheers, mate...☀

Imagine a world where Johnny got as much views as Mr. Beast.
@ChawinChantalikit Says:
In the previous years, your channel helped me a lot in my bachelor degree on political science. I'm looking forward to this. Congratulations!
@Zephyriia Says:
I almost lost heart towards your channel after watching the Why China is so Big video and seeing the few basic errors. But it seems that you might regain my trust by seemingly continuing to improve over this past year. I sure Hope so.

Hi, please create videos on U.S Housing Markets!!

"Independent journalism" 😂
@udgamcl Says:
dude, Vox and NYT are things you should be breaking away from. theyre mainstream rags pushing narratives that frankly, are lies in ever increasing frequency.
Please shut the door on those organisations and go forward, and away, fast!

I'm excited about it.

Wait. His new channel isn’t called “How The US Stole (insert everything here)”? Lolll. Crazy.

People continue to underestimate how the internet has changed things. I don't even watch cable news unless somebody else has it turned on, its really just a boomer thing now.
