Description

In this video we celebrate better graphics via OBS and Riverside.fm. Then we get right into why we are looking at Fact Checking. HS buddy Chris Shewell writes in...


We start with WHY to fact check. By beginning with The Bill of Rights, especially the First Amendment, we discuss if a Free Press truly exists, or has it been dominated by political agenda and "Yellow Journalism."  From as far back as Teddy Roosevelt and "You take the photos. We'll write the story," to the Fox News settlement with Dominion Voting Systems, and ultimately the firing of Tucker Carlson and "Danny Boi" Bongino; it's important for you to not be a sheep, and follow blindly.


We start with where most Americans get their news: the news. From MSNBC, CNBC, CNN, Fox and Newsmax, there is a wide variety of coverage, and opinions. Then we move into international and foreign outlets. You'll benefit by watching all or none!


When in doubt, "Google it!" You've already heard Yergz say, "You no longer have to be able to spell 'Google,' to be able to use it." This means that, back in the day, you had to first go to the website. Well, if you couldn't spell "Google," you'd be screwed! Today, you can simply type your search info into your browser's address bar! Look closely, you'll see Zack, Yergz's son, jump into the background, shirtless, in search of his phone charger. That's a spider tat on his back!


YouTube is the second largest database in history. With more than 15 million content creators, just like Yergz, we're serving more than 2.6 billion users!


Politifact.com is an independent fact checking agency that works off of donations and memberships, though said doners have no say in operations or search results. You can see what they've checked already, or submit a new request.


In summary, Intelligence should form policy, no the other way around!


There were no sponsors involved in the production of this video. The most important political video!
