| 0:06.0 | Hello everybody. |
| 0:06.0 | Hello everybody. My name is Jacob Collier. |
| 0:08.0 | And I just wanted to quickly let you know that my brand new album, Volume 4 is out now. It's one thing to conclude that the mainstream media is deeply biased when it comes to Israel's |
| 0:36.9 | on sort against Gaza, based on what you can see and hear. But it's another to have that proven with facts. Now that's because you often hear a logical |
| 0:45.9 | fallacy, which is mainstream coverage of Israel-Palestine, is criticized by both those who align |
| 0:51.3 | themselves with the Israeli stay and those who align themselves with the Israeli stay and those who align themselves |

| 1:49.9 | seen as outrageous bias to the left. It's also a means of policing. If you have |
| 1:55.2 | more institutional power than the other side, you can throw your weight around |
| 1:58.7 | with accusations of bias to bully broadcasters into embracing your own side. |
| 2:04.0 | And well, in the case of Israel, Palestine, |
| 2:06.5 | the dispossessed Palestinian people who don't even have a state |
| 2:10.3 | have very little collective power indeed, |
| 2:12.2 | or even a prominent organized voice in Western state so that automatically a huge disadvantage. |
