        Did I tell you about the time I shagged David Attenborough? His reacharound is divine

          So, you’re claiming Naomi Wu is lying about her well documented and well known persecution by the Chinese government?

            No, he’s claiming that he shagged David Attenborough.

              Naaah, sounds more like Attenborough shagged him.

        Give up. You could post an article by a Pulitzer Prize Winner and it wouldn’t be good enough. Hell, I posted an English translation of a Chinese article about the arrest of a Chinese LGBT author and it wasn’t good enough.

        Ah yes, backing up the YouTube video with… A blog post? Basically a bunch of op-eds masquerading as a news source?

              Which is fair, but we all know that’s not why the original person posted the dismissive comment they did.

          You do understand that’s like saying you look down on television as a medium, or magazines as a medium, correct?

            Television and magazines are far more general. Television as a medium could be compared to Web as a medium. YT could be compared to a specific TV channel.

              …Yeah, that falls apart when you consider YT is full of specific channels. That’s why I specifically compared it to TV. It’s far closer to cable than a single channel.

          The ‘medium’ in this sense is mp4 (video w/sound). YouTube is a platform.

          Is all video news fallable?
