The night before the US Inauguration of Donald Trump, CNN believed it be a good idea to run a story, on air, and on YouTube, that in my opinion, and the opinion of 10,000 other users so far, is nothing more than a video that incites violence amongst a large group of the population of America.
Note the over 10,000 down votes vs the 362 up-votes. Incredible. I am not sure I have ever seen a video with such stats.
Amongst the heavily censored comments section, there are many posts that have reportedly flagged/reported the video. I would guess there would be minimum 50 flagged/reports, and that is being very modest because not everyone who reports would go on to the comments section and say that they have, but I think with the 10k downvotes, and some reports, 50 confirmed is modest.
My observation is that YouTube has not (yet, yeah right) taken the video down. I have seen lesser seen video get reported once and it gets taken down in an instant. I understand that down-votes are not a measure of whether a video should be reported, however, this situation, with over 10,000 down votes, (even 1% of those down votes may have reported it, that's 100, less than my estimate), as well as the comments stating that users have reported/flagged should add up.
I mean look at the headline. It essentially is telling Americans that if 'something', and note how they use the word "Disaster", were to happen, don't worry angry America, someone from the Obama administration would be President. I am pretty sure that there are even republicans that would accept a fate of government where a former Obama administration member takes over, that's how much they have been duped into loving Obama.
CNN must understand the political climate in America at the moment and must know that there are some dire consequences that could unfold as a result of inciting that if a disaster takes out trump, then things will go back to the way they were. There are some crazies out there that with enough hollywood brainwashing, and mainstream conditioning would take up such a cause for the 'greater good'. It's not beyond the realms of possibility.
So back to the original point. Hey YouTube, grow a spine and cut the strings your puppet masters are playing you with. Or suffer a slow and painful death while Steemit, Yours, Vid.Me and an army of decentralised, social networks become mainstream.
