Why Most News Isn't Worth Your Attention | TED Explains the World with Ian Bremmer

Sobre este vídeo

Political scientist Ian Bremmer (@GZEROMedia) has access to the rooms, conversations and world leaders who make the news of the day. So how does he stay on top of everything that’s going on? In conversation with TED’s Helen Walters, Bremmer opens up about how he thinks about sources, how he avoids getting spun — and what we can all do to think more clearly about the news.
