- Sinclair Broadcast Group is the largest owner of local TV stations in the country. That's alarming considering that they often inject political views into local news.

It's weird how John Oliver Takes things I give Zero Fucks about and turns them into Serious Fuck Giving Topics
ikr? Im not murican and sometimes I almost feel sorry for the people over there, drowning in stupidity and the reprecussions of countless years of shit they brought to themselves...
rrs As an American who actually fact checks and avoids this stuff. Dear god I am embarrassed by many of my countrymen. I hate the sheeple meme but... god damn does it feel applicable.
@poorugly Man, i hope this is a troll post but I get the feeling it isn't which makes me sad for you...
Mahadev Bibil this was one case where it was something I had cared a lot about, and was glad he brought it to the attention of others.
Tyler Kochman and thanks to John Oliver, at least a million more people do too
That snowflake thing legitimately sounds like an onion segment.
The onion has better writers
@@dontspikemydrink9382 True
Honestly that’s the problem with right wing news. It takes whatever peanuts about the left they can find and makes them into “national tragedies” and “scandals”. Sure, the left does that too, but they make considerably less mountains out of mole hills than Fox News, OAN, or Sinclair does. For an example, the Daily Show has a hilarious compilation of Fox News reporting on Obama “scandals”; basically just Fox News losing their shit over mundane things that former President Obama did like having a soldier carry an umbrella for him during a speech (which other presidents, including republican ones have done) or him ordering Dijon mustard on a burger. It’s very funny.
Please, their actors have much better delivery
And funnily enough, its true
for all those watching as of 2023:
the deal with tribune did not go through and tribune ultimately sued sinclair for breach of contract. tribune later merged with nexstar media group, which is as of now the largest owner of broadcast stations in the states
Thanks for this
thank you
Thank you for this follow up I didn’t know I needed
Oh, and some of those newshare stations got dissolved.🙄
And replacing local newscasts with The National Desk.
One of the best opening sequences ever.

Or how concerned they are about what’s in other peoples’ pants. It’s really creepy how obsessed they are about that.

Nothing wrong with highlighting the many faults of Democrats, but claiming that Trump is any better is outrageously dishonest... I'd greatly appreciate it if some fellow concerned citizens would check out my 'Tube channel devoted to piano & vocal covers of 80s/90s classic songs. Real live acoustic. Covers include Sting, PRINCE, George Michael, Pete Townshend, Fleetwood Mac, Billy Joel, Michael Jackson, Supertramp, and Coldplay. Thanks and please pardon the promo.

I was 11 when 9/11 happened. Having to see Sinclair "Terrorism Alert Desk" alerts on the local news stations was anxiety inducing. Thankfully, my dad's job at the University, my constant exposure to various cultures via his students, and my passion to explore the world prevented any of the garbage Sinclair produced from getting in my head
i was a decade older when i got a message to check the news from a friend...
it was hard to watch as the (allegedly) freedom-loving americans started tearing up their rights (habeus corpus &c) in favour of starting the 'war on terror' (how does one conquer an emotion, i wonder?). i'm just noting this to contrast how differently things can hit home, i was suddenly afraid of what the americans would do in revenge.
sadly time has not reassured me. i'm glad it went better for you ^^
@@sjs9698 thank you for sharing your experience. Even today, I reflect on my opinions about current situations as well as they to imagine how my students might be feeling.
I can appreciate how different ages and backgrounds can influence how folks experience the same event in time
@@heatherlowry754 It is nice never getting things like universal healthcare because lefties care more about the 1% of Muslims in the states and the .0008% of trans people. Love it when middle class kids care more about tolerance than helping poor people. Good stuff.
You’re a Libtard. Congrats. Passed their class.
Wasn't Sinclair made in 2004?
*"There is one step proven to drastically decrease domestic violence: marriage."*
Well someone hasn't read the statistics or even researched what domestic violence is.
It's probably just a really bad misinterpretation of statistics. Statistically, domestic violence is more prevalent among dating couples than among married couples. But it's absurd to conclude that marriage will reduce abuse, unless you're deliberate about marrying someone who's NOT abusing you.
Yeah domestic homicide is among one of the largest sources of murder rates in the country
i was a kid in such are house, And you are right.
People should not talk about stuff so confidently when they don't even know what it is.
Not to mention, the bible, )which conservatives say is absolutely moral) says women are property not people, and you can rape and beat your wife all you want.
It's almost like conservatives, take something completely immoral, and call it morality and beat you over the head with it until you agree.
Storm McBeth The Bible does not say that, please don’t spread false information.
"Now is not 100 years ago" is a very difficult concept for conservatives to understand okay.
Tom Mass right you wouldn't call a butterfly a caterpillar with wings
Tom Mass That's because conservatives are willfully stupid.

They offered my oldest daughter's whole class internships last year. They said they needed 5 interns and would take the first 5 who applied. Not a single student took them up on the offer.

Local News Reporter- "Stop being a snow flake"
Holy shit, that might've been aired in response to the UCLA shooting on 6/1/2016. The "snowflake advice bit" ran on 8/25/2016. The first three videos in that segment were the UCLA campus.
Easiest way to make Republicans lose their shit would be for all Democrats to go out and get a concealed carry firearm and an AR-15 and learn how to use them.
There’s one step that’s proven to dramatically reduce domestic violence, a divorce.
no, its a woman with a loaded gun in her hand.
"There is one step that's proven to dramatically reduce domestic violence: marriage"
Got an audible "oof" from me.
I got suddenly nauseous.
Who knew you could reduce domestic violence , by trapping yourself with the one abusing you.
Not only that, It’s like saying the only proven way to prevent obesity is eating! Does he seriously not know how things work?!
Fun Fact: Prior to 1850, it was legal and acceptable to beat your wife "as an exercise of your authority." It took another 70 years before it was outlawed in every state. Then, it was another 50 years before no-fault divorces. Then, 23 years later, the states finally agreed spousal rape: bad. And that, dear children, was in 1993.
And yet the same people making that disgusting argument argue that marriage is bad for homosexuals. Because. Reasons.
That Hyman guy sounds like a Reddit thread that gained sentience.
I wonder if Donald Trump is a member of the Illuminati or NWO?
How did he get to be president of the United States without help from a shadow government or organization?
The man clearly has an agenda that does not seem to be his own and his connections to the Russians leads be to believe that he may be connected to some type of “New world Order” organization.
Either that or he is an extraterrestrial or controlled by some extraterrestrial power.
I also think his tweets are relaying secret messages to his peers. Why else would he continue to tweet when it obviously is hurting his presidency? I think that’s how he is secretly communicating with others.
I think the Washington Post and the New York Times should be looking at this angle, there is a story here somewhere.
I don't understand... Reddit seems liberal to me. Perhaps you're sorting by controversial?
no world order nah just a demagogue. It doesn't take a shadowy organization. He is an idiot but he is talented at seeing the weaknesses in people. He identified the things that enough Americans fear and spoke to those fears. Individuals can be reasonable, but he drove his followers into being a mob, and the mob is an unreasonable beast especially when driven by the hate and fear mongering rhetoric he spewed. People suddenly felt here is someone who cares about my concerns and they ignored his heinous views, actions, and statements because of that perceived care. So now we are stuck with a president who thought running a country of over 300 million people, with a 12 trillion dollar+ annual GDP, and managing the defense, infrastructure and institutions of that country would be easier than his previous job. In other words, a delusional moron. Amazing what a demagogue can accomplish innit? In the past they have led countries to morally repugnant wars, genocide, and just inhuman crimes. Pretty impressive for what would amount to a greasy used car salesman if they never encountered the right situation to used their skills.
Steve Wood the only liberal part of reddit is disliking trump and wanting legalized weed.
Huh?! There's literally a subreddit. It's called the_Donald. In fact, what he says pales in comparison.
“Okay, Boomer”- the perfect response to “Wake up snowflake”

@@wisewolftony ...my friends like to recall a time I got drunk and, well...sat in a box and played with a string...I don't remember it in order, but it all lines up. Point being, some one will do it and have a blast with it. Also I think why some of us like the "if it fits I sits," because, at least for me, it brings back a bit of that 5 y/o that you mentioned. It's a brief moment of not feeling like an adult and having a kid moment, silly yes, but doing little silly kid things can be helpful for either the mind or the soul. Hope you have a good one, duder.🙂
I love how conservatives keep bringing up how the Dems used to be pro Slavery. I remember a time when the Republicans were socially liberal. Things change. I don't care how they felt back in the day, I want to know how they feel NOW.
So the past doesn't matter? SO shut up about slavery for 250 years ago
@@chance2413 To quote John Oliver from another episode "Holy shit, that is not even remotely the point".
@jacob It's not as simple as that. Past matters but it doesn't matter in a sense that past isn't now. It was a whole different World. Any group of people is literally not the same people as 150 years ago. None of those people are alive and people of today couldn't influence the things of the past in any way. So associating people of today for what their ancestors or organizations did in the past is just plain stupid. It's like blaming modern Germans for what Nazi Germany did just because they are Germans. Or blaming Democrats for Democratic party supporting slavery 250 years ago. Only thing they share is the party's name and maybe relatives.
@jacob That is...LITERALLY what he just said though.
OP holds a point though; what happens today matters significantly more than what happened centuries, decades, hell, even a week ago. Yes, history is important, always remember it, but _learn_ from it too; and that's different from dwelling, something that can be a poisonous practice if allowed to go on.
I honestly cannot give a remote amount of a shit for either party, Republican or Democrat. They both hold points, they both get shit wrong, because they're both a party of _people_ at the heart of it. Whatever they were or did centuries before doesn't impact me in any way, so why should that factor into my opinions of either of them here and now?
The merger is dead. Press freedom in Tribune owned stations is safe.
Update: Sinclair decided to end their Must Run Segments. Thank God.

8:55 _"Did the FBI have a personal vendetta...?"_
No, the FBI cannot have a "personal vendetta" against _anyone,_ because the FBI is not a _person._ I'm rather embarrassed that I, for whom English is a _third_ language, have to explain how the language works to the media of the largest English speaking nation in the world. :(
I feel you, man. That made me grit my teeth so hard that sparks came out.
Also, your English is excellent for being your third language!
Sorry to say, but yes, the FBI as an organization can have a "personal vendetta", because the FBI is an organization made up of people. If the majority of people in an organization, or the majority of the leadership of an organization, take actions against someone or something in a vengeful manor, then that organization CAN be said to have a "personal" vendetta against said person or thing, even though we are talking about a multitude of people because those people act as one through the organization.
If you want an example: The US could have been said to have a personal vendetta against Al Qaeda after 9/11, because the majority of people in the nation, including leadership, were wronged by said group.
The nuances of English can be hard to understand, and sometimes it doesn't always make sense, but that's how we speak. Look up "corporate personhood".
@@MnemonicHack You described something that is not personal. ascribing feelings to an organisation is just how politicians justified benefiting from bribery. the fbi or america can pursue a vendetta, but pursuing a personal vendetta is just wordpadding because you need to spend longer in front of a camera.

The problem is, there are people who actually think that it's fine. I can take solace in one thing, though:
Millennials are the future. The Baby Boomers aren't going to be around forever, and soon, they won't hold as mcuh power as they do now, and shit like this will be gone.
Most Antifa cunts are millennials - " Demographers and researchers typically use the early 1980s as starting birth years and the mid-1990s to early 2000s as ending birth years". They are adults acting like children. Participation trophy brats. The most privileged generation in history. Sticks and stones. Grow some balls snowflake.

No matter what side your on, you have to agree that news should be impartial! Otherwise, no one will get clear information.
xx April M n
Exactly
xx April M Oliver is totally impartial....
+Me&My Мемасы There are news stations all around the globe that are still more or less impartial. The state run news channel is by far one of the most viewed in my country (Switzerland). If they send anything political they will give time to different point of views.
e.g. We have a weekly format that invites politicians from all over the place to discuss things that are of current interest to the public for 1.5 hours with extra specialists on that particular topic. You will even learn a thing or two from a point of view you didn't consider, because let's be honest: we all live in our bubble. All of us. It's also interesting because I'm slightly more open to others opinions than my wife (She's an Anarcho-Communist and I'm more of a far-far left guy.(Don't hate us :P We will let you belief what you want!)) and we often end up discussing about the topic ourselves.
Living in Switzerland and our open form of democracy might help a lot.
Our News and Interviews are also really trustworthy. And I'm not alone on that. They report facts and ask tough questions. And our reports don't accept bullshit for an answer, they will ask 'till they get an answer. It's funny to see people struggle to answer a simple question like "why?".
No one is impartial. I doubt anyone (other than FOX) will cover CNN blackmailing someone on national news. that does not mean you can't get any good information, even if it's not clear.
You said it, " NOW is not 100 years ago" thank you. Now if EVERYBODY could understand that.
I have mixed feelings about this comment considering we’re currently in the midst of a worldwide pandemic (covid-2019) and the last worldwide pandemic was in 1918. Feels like now is indeed a hundred years ago at the moment.....

I used to work for a Sinclair owned station. I don't think a single employee who worked there wanted to run any must-run segments. We thought they were dumb, and they took up time that we could have used for stuff people actually care about.
Boris segments were a damn roller coaster though. They could range from "what the hell are you even saying?!?!" to "this is just sad." At one point, they brought in some lady to have a segment that said vaguely left leaning points, but they were pretty much always strawmanned so that Boris could look smarter.
Also, one of my old coworkers was in one of the local news segments. That got a laugh out of me!

Authoritarianism is bullshit.
John Olivier is a piece of shit.
top wow And so are you for misspelling John Oliver's name.
What about Stephen Colbert, Jon Stewart and the cast of The Daily Show?
Top wow, you're being extremely vague.
And authoritarianism is not necessarily a bad thing in every instance. Outlawing murder is authoritarian because it's authoritative in it, so unless you're a full-on anarchist (and some do argue against having any system of law) then everyone agrees with some level of authoritarianism, and it's a matter of how much is too much and how little is too little. What's acceptable and what is not. Someone like Oliver is about center in terms of libertarianism vs. authoritarianism, or thereabouts.
I will however disagree with the OP that Oliver is the most trustworthy source. That's just preposterous. He's good at muckraking and digging up things which people don't talk about enough, but there are plenty of independent outlets and people who do investigative journalism, people who deserve much more credit by Oliver's own admission. Not to mention, but LWT can engage in some disingenuous bullshit from time to time (ex. presenting Jill Stein as an anti-vaxxer (she just isn't. She has her problems, like saying that Obamacare wasn't a step in the right direction, but she's not that much of a crank) and acting like the biggest issues with Tim Kaine are that he's "boring" and a white guy (not his horrendous stances on the TPP or bank regulation)). John Oliver is imperfect in my honest opinion--not because I disagree with his politics (I'm a progressive, though probably a bit more left and libertarian leaning).
Sinclair owns two of our local charges news right after seeing John's show I saw their propaganda on my local channels including the terror watch alert. I live in Oregon not use to this stuff. I let them knowing didn't appreciate it. I will contact their advertisers f they keep it up.
I live in Oregon as well, I am sick of the right wing commentary!!
I think a call to the people who advertise on the stations that sinclair owns need a phone call!!
and they wondered why Trump won, Trump supporters got those fake news from Sinclair's
Trump won for a lot of reasons, but this was definitely one of them. And Sinclair isn't even the only company doing this. People like to write thinkpieces about "information bubbles", but the truth is, the vast majority of the time those bubbles aren't naturally formed, they are manufactured by media companies functioning as white supremacist propaganda outlets.
People can be racist and bigoted even without this kind of interference, but the specific kind of racism and bigotry that allowed Trump and the Internet Nazis (also known as the Alt-Right) to rise to power is something that has been deliberately stoked by people who are at best two degrees of separation away from actual neo-Nazis.
KTVL used to be tops in Medford broadcast news. What a perversion!
I bet the man who did the snowflake ad segment would be incensed if someone dared call him a boomer.
A few months after I saw this video, my local news station became a Sinclair subsidiary. I'm so happy I saw this before it happened, so that I can ignore the Sinclair segments and know that it isn't my local newscasters' fault they're airing biased and sometimes untruthful stories and segments.
How the FUCK can "must runs" on fucking NEWS not be illegal?
Money.
Trump Russia Trump Russia
Free speech. I mean they are private companies. You have to comply with a parent company if you want support.
The word "MUST" really negates the whole "free" thing.. Not really free speech if our journalists are being forced to say and not say what their parent company tells them...
It's still free speech because they're private companies. Free speech refers to what the *government* can do. It's not about whether your boss at your news station can tell you what to present.
You guys should re-air this right now!!
I and other friends have been sharing it on social media :)
What happened?
If I recall correctly, the Sinclair-scripted news issue John talks about in this clip gained widespread attention and then Mango Unchained in typical Twitler fashion made several tweets endorsing their insidious practices
Gotta change that bit about Tom Holland tho, we all know who he is now
You are so edgy
Boris johnson + Jeffrey epstein
= Boris epstein?
Their love child.
And Jeffery Johnson.
Multiple appearances was attempt to make you remember him when you hear the word Epstein & to be associated with news that's not true
This has the best opening of any last week tonight episode period
I used to work for Sinclair. That lasted about a month, it was pretty ridiculous some of the stuff they made us air, a lot of our national stories came from CNN, ABC and NBC though.
I did too....I lasted 2 years before I had to go. Our station was taken over by Sinclair and it was downhill from there. We constantly had complaints on our station Facebook page about the Mark Hyman commentaries. I couldn't wait to leave.
damn, im an indian and i m finding things so appalling shit. What is america upto!! Ofc i come frm a society where everyone is different in race and caste. But hey who cares atleast we have not conservative mentality, some may but its still its sad watching these things thrive in america. Man im never coming there if this goes on... my people get shot and are called to leave the country cuz we are brown :( . we indians are nice to people and they hand us a bullet of death. Anyways please oppose this Sinclair piece of shit. With luv frm indian :D
We would gather around whenever the new Behind the Headlines came out and watch it and make fun of it.
Ashie B-Mast I work at a Sinclair station now and that's what we do lol, we also run it at like 4:50 am
I'm from a pretty conservative area and BTH would air at like 10:59pm
Yup, just found out that the three "most professional-appearing" local news groups in my city are owned by Sinclair. This is both frustrating AND believable. Welcome to Texas, y'all.
@autosource : says the person trolling the comment sections of a liberal media youtube videdo
LOVE the cat in a box analogy! That bit made things so much more clear to me!

This show keeps me sane in a country of current insanity. Thank you.
Does Hymen guy know that the term "snowflake" originated from Fight club and was said by a guy who blew up buildings because he was insecure of his sex life? Like, Tyler Durden isn't a guy you model after. Also the term was used to parody how people dehumanize those who are different or want change. Congratulations, you played yourself.
I mean he's probably one of those people that think Voltaire ever said "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it", and that the word "Doublespeak" appears even a single time in 1984. The alt-right likes to think they're smart but anyone who's actually read the tings they claim they have know they're just a bunch of insecure posturing dickheads who didn't realise Fight Club and Al Murray the Pub Landlord are making fun of them
So many people did not actually get that movie (or book, as the case may be). Just like all the dummies that idolize Tony Montana instead of realizing his life was a cautionary tale.
The left has turned off voters by having too many career politicians with extreme views. It's is not feminists that are turning away voters
Liam Harris But I remember "doublespeak" being a concept in 1984... Is it not?
Elias, the term is "doublethink".
Notice! To any watching this video since it went up, Tribune Media cancelled their merger with Sinclair Broadcast after citing breach of contract. While this does not diminish Sinclair's frankly tenuous relationship with truth and journalistic integrity, it is a light glimmer of hope that this type of thing won't expand.
But we all need to stay vigilant and keep fighting moves like this merger.
Sinclair owns two out of 3 local news stations in my area. And if that deal went through all 3.
As you know we must fight harder now more than ever.
That last segment was brilliant.
16:15 is one of my favorite bits that my partner and I quote to each other all the time!
Can't they just announce the "must-run" parts as such ? *"And now, a must-run. We did not write this, Sinclair made us air it".*
I'd just like to point out that trigger warnings primarily serve to help PTSD sufferers avoid content that could potentially worsen their conditions.
VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED is already a thing..
This. I do not understand why they are so offended by Trigger Warnings.
@coolandgood1010 Viewer discretion is basically the same thing dude lol. Doesn’t matter. Trigger warnings make more since for things like video games though since your an active participant and not just a viewer.
People hating trigger warnings is kinda hilarious because the people that need them are very aware that the world doesn't have them typically. They're the ones that have experienced the traumatic thing they would like a warning about.
I honestly don't know how people can be offended by the concept of trigger warnings. You have to try to offended by trigger warnings. Trigger warnings for stuff like: sexual assault, graphic violence, various forms of bigotry or just visual/audio effects that might have a negative impact on someone's health are just useful. If someone is triggered by sexual assault (possibly because they were a victim of it) then they know to avoid it, same thing with the graphic violence thing. And visual/audio effects can be dangerous, do we need to have another 'Electric Soldier Porygon' Incident, and audio can cause nausea via Infrasound. Honestly I think conservatives are mad that they can't scream their bigoted nonsense so they scream about everyone else being offended, while they're mad that they can't directly scream racial slurs.
Ding ding ding
@@nicholasrodinos4701 I have a rare form of epilepsy. Those audio effects trigger warnings would be nice to have, especially in any movie or TV show that includes rap, music, techno, music, etc.
LoL spider twerp is worth $18 billion dollars now 😂😂
Sinclair was against Nightline's reading of the honor roll of military deaths. That seems pretty unamerican to me.

Holy fuck the Sinclair segments are insane........

Why were you lying in your comment? Just curious. If you TRULY reacted to a mildly humorous quip you may need therapy...
11:43: Omaha? You mean, Omaha, Nebraska? The place where I lived at the time that aired?? uh...h...h...h well, i’m well and truely speechless. This shit just got too real for me to take, but I’m gonna have to do exactly that.
The Olsen twin's gag gets me every time.
It's not a gag, he is seriously trying to get the truth out about this important fact.
Something this show has taught me is that corruption in my U.S.A. just keeps on giving...
Pig Mage brov if you wanna see actual corruption come into any post soviet country. In russia it has become normal to give money to a police officer so that he doesn't give you a ticket. You can literally pay 15k in dollars to a military official to skip the mandatory military service, and it will cost you around 10k in dollars to bribe a judge (fees may vary on the severity). this is corruption, people expressing ideas foreign to yours and capitalism isnt corruption. I agree that monopolies are a cancer to deal with but they arent corrupt unless the businesses straight up pay the government to ignore the fact that there is a monopoly (this shit happens a lot in post soviet countries too).
xef 67 wow.... just wow
Pig Mage which part?
.MoronSoldier
!.
MoronSoldier why would I lick America's dick? (oh hey that rimes) I live in Armenia its a post soviet country and the same shit happens here, actual corruption is different from mergers, and for proof, literally search something like: daily corruption in Russia and you will find it. I thought American news was driving it pretty hard about how corrupt russia's government is
Bob Ross famously rocked an afro and everyone loved him
Solid "What Does the Fox Say?" reference there.
Ah man he always warns us and we only catch on months later

what happened? lol

He's never been right. A holier than thou stupid limey. Name one thing he's been right about. Trump is not the answer..... I'll wait.
Thank you so much John for covering this issue when no one else will as well as other topics.
Speaking about Sinclair...
I'm here for everyone post 2019 who heard "Epstein" and had a gut reaction in a completely different direction than where this story actually went.
16:54 That awkward moment when I am watching this at 4: 54AM.

I know I watched this when it was new, but I forgot how hilarious it was. I'm gonna listen to it again. Just for the Art Garfunkel abuse. 😆😂🤣
It would've been great if Hyman's name was spelled with an E.
I still remember the time when John Oliver used to report to Stewart..He has only grown better and better...You sir are an inspiration to all content creators in CZcams too :)
Startup Division you tooo , Elon msk vdeo in your channel awesome..!
Startup Division yeah I do remember!! your videos are no too bad.! John is fucking amazing!
feeling very old
Startup Division your videos are almost similar to cold fusion ...atleast the intro and outro part...but I love it..I subbed !
You have a great CZcams channel yourself! I believe I also saw you on one of JerryRigEverything videos.
Just a heads-up - If the video has more likes than views, that's because CZcams requires that you watch a certain amount of the video before it's counted as a view, while likes can be counted immediately. Therefore, likes will appear before views and so the like-to-view ratio will be higher.
Approximately 50% of the comments anywhere are now unnecessary.
which is unfortunate, because I already saw it on HBO, but it liked the CZcams video, and am not going to watch it again, so there could be a very lopsided like to watch ratio
The real reason is how CZcams only adds views t the count in batches, not right after the fact, but nice try. :)
The lag is somewhat of CZcams trying to verify that the views are legitimate before just saying 100,000 people or whatever the number it is watched the video. If it's featured on tv anywhere that CZcams video has a good reason to have tons of views. It helps to stop people from making their video have tons of fake views except where CZcams somewhat messed up where people have now named themselves "1,000,000 views" or something and then people get tricked. All that to say it's also verification and CZcams has problems haha.
as a sexual assault survivor and a decent fucking human being, i can't even begin to describe how angry it makes me when people deride and joke about triggers.
Amazing work Mr John

I love how in 5:25, you can actually see the pain of the CNN host having to listen to Eppsteyn‘s nonsense and still be respectful.
I know I'm a year late, but did you use CNN and respectful in the same comment?
Joe Schmoe Honestly I hate CNN and Fox those are two extremes. Extremes are never good.
Jake Tapper is the only CNN reporter I'd watch.
speaking of "that guy from college everyone hated" i have an aunt who actually went to college with tucker carlson
... amazing. How does she say he was?
@@tamarbeker1701 apparently he and some other boys stood outside a women's studies class and rated the women as they came out
@@hi-um7ru ...why am I not surprised?
I want someone to punch Hyman and then say, “marry me now, b****!” When he says the bit about marriage solving violence.
the reason why you would punch him is because you are not married
he had a brain tumor not too long ago when i saw that i was kinda mad that it didn't finish off this sack of shit
