Ali Velshi on the difference between Canadian and U.S. media | Spotlight

Hes great on MSNBC. Figures since hes Canadian 😊

Ali is struggling with gullible people, who have gone deep down the first convenient rabbit hole they find. I feel his pain.

Thank you for this session which is so needed. I agree with Velshi on the differences between Canada and the US. As an immigrant from the US to Canada I find myself enjoying Canadian politics because I am not frightened by politics. What a thought! I continue put my efforts toward peace in the world. Keep up the good work Ali!

Love Ali's perspective and his professionalism, a quality that goes unrecognised by those who assume that everyone has a "hidden agenda". Professionalism means being aware of one's own biases and holding them in abeyance whilst gathering information on an emerging event. Professionalism means not engaging in false analogies, not using prejudicial language or images to "slant" a report or influence audience perception. Professionalism means keeping one's personal life out of the public eye. Professionalism means admitting when you are wrong about something and correcting it in public asap. Professionalism is above all about accuracy and context, the two qualities that separate NEWS from PROPAGANDA. Ali Velshi possesses the qualities of professionalism in abundance. He is an asset to any organisation.

The US should adopt Canada's campaign rule: candidates can only campaign during the six weeks before an election.

Love Mr. Velshi, he's kind and devoted to the truth.

Great interview, Travis! I watch Ali Velshi on MSNBC… he is very good👏👏👏👏👏

This was really great, thanks for this. I really wish there was more cross-country dialogue like this, like commentary by Americans speaking to us about their own country and Canada and vise versa. It's really valuable to be able to compare with each other and get out of our own bubbles.

Ali is an excellent source of trusted information who takes the time to investigate and explain what he learns to to his viewers.

always wondered why I like Ali? Now I know. Growing up in Buffalo, I learned that Canada usually does it right. With better results in the long run. All of us in the US would be better off and happier if we just surrendered to Canada. We could be proud again, for real reasons.

Age is a factor, but in reality, the biggest factor is, honesty vs. dishonesty.

I am so proud to claim Ali Velshi as a fellow Canadian😊😊❤

I became a fan of MSNBC in Nov. 2015 when I came across a live feed on-line. It was the Rachel Maddow show. Then, I realized Ali Velshi was also a host. Still a big fan of both the channel and especially these two. And Canada really needs to heed his warning about disinformation.

Love Ali, voice of reason! The problem I see with the US is that every aspect of their lives is politically influenced. Their cities are party driven, their courts are party driven, they eat, sleep and breathe politics. The media is either right or left and it shouldn’t be,news is about facts and truth. There should be equal opportunity for facts and reality, not to be picked and choose what part you want. The truth should be the same right across the board and then you can trust. But as a consumer I don’t do Twitter,Facebook or anything else other than choosing a selected reliable YouTube videos that I feel is trusted. Thank you Ali for your true honesty.🇨🇦

So appreciate his professionalism...but also when called for his perspective & Banned Book Club.

I have tremendous respect for Velshi.

I have watched Ali Velshi on MSNBC and appreciate his viewpoints. A thoughtful man, and a loss to us here!

Ali Velshi is one of my favorite people! I lived in Toronto for years and came back to the states for family. I still miss Canada. MSNBC is lucky to have Ali. I watch his show every weekend.

Always think of him as Cdn. when I watch him on MSNBC . Class Act

Every time I see and hear Ali Velshi I can see and hear the quality of his reporting for many years now on CNN.
