19. 0:47convinced
20. 0:51Brian Williams is back in the news and
21. 0:54not in a good way there was some good
22. 0:57coverage of the fact that many people
23. 0:59were criticizing Brian Williams for how
24. 1:01he was characterizing the missile
25. 1:03launches yet I didn't see any media
26. 1:05coverage of the fact that what he's
27. 1:06glorifying is in fact a crime that
28. 1:09should be the main point and there are
29. 1:11people asking why is this guy even on
30. 1:13television the post and this video story
31. 1:15by Emily drew be do point out that he
32. 1:18was saying things that weren't true
33. 1:19Williams lost his job as anchor of the
34. 1:22NBC Nightly News after it turned out his
35. 1:24reporting on some events in Iraq weren't
36. 1:26true so he was embedded with the troops
37. 1:29during another crime actually the Iraq
38. 1:31war crime years later he's telling
39. 1:33stories about things that didn't happen
40. 1:35he claimed that the helicopter he was
41. 1:37riding in was hit by a rocket-propelled
42. 1:39grenade the story actually started with
43. 1:42a terrible moment a dozen years back
44. 1:44during the invasion of Iraq when the
45. 1:46helicopter we were traveling in was
46. 1:48forced down after being hit by an RPG
47. 1:50our traveling NBC News team was rescued
48. 1:53surrounded and kept alive by an armored
49. 1:55mechanized platoon from the US Army 3rd
50. 1:57infantry two of our four helicopters
51. 1:59were hit by ground fire including the
52. 2:02one I was in
53. 2:03no RPG and ak-47 what what altitude
54. 2:06rehidden we were only at a hundred feet
55. 2:08doing 100 forward knots because we had
56. 2:10these massive pieces of bridge beneath
57. 2:12us on slings what happens the minute
58. 2:15everybody realizes you've been hit we
59. 2:16figure out how to land safely and we did
60. 2:19I want to apologize I said I was
61. 2:23traveling in an aircraft that was hit by
62. 2:25RPG fire I was instead in a following
63. 2:28aircraft we all landed after the ground
64. 2:32fire incident he apologized for it but
65. 2:34also excusing it saying that he was
66. 2:37trying to support the troops with his
67. 2:39story this article in stars and stripes
68. 2:41says there are some soldiers saying that
69. 2:43in his apology he still managed to
70. 2:45misrepresent what happened I think the
71. 2:47media outlets that covered this story
72. 2:49were willing to do so not because he's
73. 2:51glorifying war but because he did it in
74. 2:54a dopey and cringe-worthy way if he had
75. 2:57done it in a slick away they probably
76. 2:58would have let him get away with it
77. 3:00follow me on Twitter because I've been
78. 3:02talking about important points like the
79. 3:03illegality of this the
80. 3:05military action by Donald Trump who had
81. 3:07no authority under the Constitution or
82. 3:10international law to start attacking
83. 3:12Syria and that's regardless of who was
84. 3:14behind the release of those chemicals so
85. 3:17you can check out the recent tweets
86. 3:18we're making the point that Trump not
87. 3:20only violated the Constitution being not
88. 3:23only a hypocrite but dishonest about the
89. 3:26recent history and the media is helping
90. 3:28Trump to get away with it by rewriting
91. 3:31the recent past and continuing their
92. 3:34assault on our Constitution the elite
93. 3:37media has contempt for our Constitution
94. 3:40I tweeted this very important article
95. 3:42out and I'll put a link to this in the
96. 3:44video description this is part of a
97. 3:46pattern where the media doesn't respect
98. 3:49what the father of our Constitution
99. 3:51called the wisest clause of our
100. 3:53Constitution James Madison wrote in no
101. 3:56part of the Constitution is more wisdom
102. 3:58to be found than in the clause which
103. 4:01confides the question of war and peace
104. 4:02to the legislature that's Congress and
105. 4:05not to the executive department that's
106. 4:08the office of president the father of
107. 4:10the Constitution explained that the part
108. 4:12of the Constitution with the most wisdom
109. 4:14is the part that keeps the power of
110. 4:17getting our country into a war out of
111. 4:19the president's hands the trust and the
112. 4:22temptation would be too great for any
113. 4:24one man the powers that be in this
114. 4:27country today want the power to make war
115. 4:30in the hands of one man because they
116. 4:32want to get our country into war after
117. 4:34war think about that and think about how
118. 4:37elite media have total disregard for the
119. 4:40wisest part of our Constitution how they
120. 4:43have an agenda to get our country into
121. 4:45war after war so they want that power
122. 4:48concentrated in the hands of one man and
123. 4:50that's one of the biggest dirty games
124. 4:53that mass media plays in this country
125. 4:55they robbed the American people of our
126. 4:58constitutional right to have a safeguard
127. 5:00to keep us from getting into needless
128. 5:03Wars and as you may have noticed in this
129. 5:05video the reporting on this story is
130. 5:08monetized there are ads on the story
131. 5:11about Brian Williams now the story of
132. 5:13Syria Donald Trump's attack on Syria
133. 5:16strike on Syria
134. 5:17so once again YouTube's premise that
135. 5:20these stories are supposedly not
136. 5:22advertiser friendly obviously is false
137. 5:25major media outlets are allowed to
138. 5:27continue to earn revenue
139. 5:29with advertising so what YouTube has
140. 5:31done is really hurt independent
141. 5:33journalists its financial sabotage
142. 5:35YouTube cannot even argue that
143. 5:38questioning the legality of the serious
144. 5:40strike is unfriendly to advertisers
145. 5:42because look at these Huffington Post is
146. 5:45still able to monetize stories
147. 5:46questioning the legality
148. 5:48it's just that independent journalists
149. 5:50on YouTube are being financially
150. 5:52crippled YouTube's unfair policy change
151. 5:54makes this necessary thank you to the

154. 6:01GoFundMe campaign I'm forced now to ask
155. 6:04for donations instead of relying on
