Is Casey Neistat and CNN's New Media Brand a Sham? - The Dangers of Big Media Sensorship

in casey-neistat •  8 years ago  (edited)

If you haven't been under a rock for the past few months, you know who Casey Neistat is, and that he recently sold his app Beem to CNN for $25 million.

Most people like Casey. He seems like a goodhearted guy, who truly cares about his fans.

Together with CNN, Neistat and his team are now developing a journalist-curated app that will feed to one of 12 live streams. Neistat calls these:

My question to everyone on @steemit: Are we really that naive to think CNN will "revolutionize" transparency in the news industry?
