YouTube is an excellent place to disseminate misinformation. Not only can you post almost anything you like, you can also filter the responses to the video. A rational response is quietly tossed aside while a message that bolsters the bulls**t gets through. You end up with a well crafted, completely one-sided mindf**k.
Dont bury Joest23 , he is absolutely right. except current is also biased in their own way. even youtube citizens journalism will be biased but thats just how our human race is , opinionated. Sadly, as most of us know the 3 main networks here are a biased disgrace to journalism. Its still a great idea and i wish youtube and any potential youtube journalists luck because we need all we can get to shake up the state of normal news networks..

Sounds like a good idea until a copyright holder ignores fair use and gets your account deleted.

I watch MSNBC, and if you're watching MSNBC for news then you're not paying attention. MSNBC shows are opinion and commentary.
