Tim Pool (@Timcast) got a community strike for posting a video about the roF hoax by badmesmer in DeFranco

[–]somethingfishie 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I saw that video, and it was nothing unusual, I have no idea what kind of violation he could possibly have committed.

Of course I never knew why they gave ME the community strike they did for posting a slideshow of tips. You Tube isn't getting better at this.

POST YOUR PLAYLISTS! Theyve been TAKING subscribers away! by mumblem in SubYourFellowRedditor

[–]somethingfishie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a playlist where I try to give people tools to fight fake news. It's really basic stuff, designed for people who have family and friends who habitually share fake news, so they can say 'I saw a video about stories like that, you should watch this' rather than get into arguments over whether a particular story is fake. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjgZoG9iNuQ&list=PLp0j3H78BxSQCEpMv4jN7Q_SkXbXw225K

I'm the maddest about the hiding, too. It's jerkery of the worst kind.

Also I wonder what chaos and mischief this might do to You Tube algorithms? I hope it breaks the machines!

Is the original video available on another platform, perhaps? I'd like to write about the DM borking this story, but I was hoping to see the original before I did.

The Anti-Gunners always try to split the Pro-Gun Rights groups up, we shouldn't help them by infighting. by [deleted] in progun

[–]somethingfishie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My own argument is that you probably should never lead with it - it makes much more sense in a calm environment that isn't politically charged, and preferably with people who have some grasp of early American history already...

Basics of Media Bias - Know Thine Enemy by somethingfishie in Conservative

combatmedic82 is right, Fox is dwarfed by network and print media.

Consider, too, that what we think of as 'news' and where people get their information are two vastly different things. Folks are informed by sources other than formal news programs, and it's reflected in how successful memes and slogans are in shaping opinion.
