We do know that you get your "Facts" from U-Tube, speaks far more about your failures than mine
You can watch college lectures on You Tube. In fact you can even watch Newt Gingrich speak to a class at Tulane University on You Tube.

What is wrong with You Tube? You Tube in many respects is an extension of the public library. In fact you can find books on the internet that aren't available or have been BANNED in libraries.

What's wrong with YouTube you ask? There is no getting of anything. Anyone can produce anything and no matter how false or misleading it is, it is given space. YouTube is like watching the political ads, you can be sure 90% of what you see and hear are false.

All that tells me is that your either your search or discernment capabilities are severely handicapped...

Funny, I don't use YouTube so I guess it isnt MY search skills that are questionable.

How many times a week do we need to have some wingnut link up a YouTube like the video of a welfare queen bragging about how she screws over the system, only to discover the video was produced by a teabagger business owner trying to "create" a new reality and supply proof of what he imagines.

We don't, and I don't condone such acts, but the fact remains that there are millions of completely accurate clips out there that should not be discounted simply because they were gotten off of Youtube. Clips from news organizations, tv shows, documentaries, etc. that we wouldn't even have access to if it wasn't for Youtube.

And just for the record, the term 'teabagger' is a disgusting reference to a sexual act and has no connection to political philosophy. You should grow up.

It's a place to post videos. What you say is true of any media.

You, my friend, might find a wealth of PBS documentaries ON YOU TUBE if you just knew how to find them.

How about this one for example?


The Secret Government PBS 1987 Bill Moyers - YouTube

After you watch that. Take a look at "America: Freedom to Fascism"

And everything on the TV is true, right? Silly people ... Of course not everything on youtube is true, just like most of what you see on TV isnt true either, or at least is slanted. Everything on the NEWS amounts for the most part to propaganda, that is why it is necessary to check the sources and research the source material if you really want to discern between facts and fiction, regardless of what you are reading or from where you are getting your information whether it be msnbc or youtube.

The fact is many of you people who disdain the use of youtube videos do so only because it is a convenient way to provide researched arguments that you people dont want ot have to investigate in order to debunk it, so instead you simply pass anything and everything off as if the information is disqualified because the video was loaded up to youtube.

People are only making themselves look like Idiots ...
