What's this?

And Internet message boards are of course the Holy Grail

TV like the news division of a major network is far superior to YouTube if for no reason other than editors; executive producers; fact checkers and a general vetting process.

But even if you think the news is hopelessly stupid, vapid and corrupt ... this YouTuber is not really taking on the media, just cherry picking clips to attack science as researched and published in scientific journals.

Read a scientific journal sometimes. It's a different standard.
