Looks like we really have entered a new age of fake news, often trying to peddle racist narratives. There's smoking gun evidence (shown in the video) that WSJ doctored evidence to allow them to create a news story that Youtube is profiting from racism.

What should the penalty be for giant media corporations creating fake smear stories?

A new era of fake news coming from a conservative outlet.

The evidence of fakeage isn't so great on further inspection. The evidence was that the video in question had 3 images made of ads on it, all relatively recently gauging by the view count. However, said video was supposedly demonetized quite a while ago and didn't have ads on it. However, turns out the evidence of the demonetization was likely incorrect as it was apparently claimed by another actor (likely a music company) and thus while it had no add revenue going to the video maker, it did have ads running on it, the revenue was just going to this other actor.

Anti-White katana owning gamespoters never miss a beat to blame whites for something. Who cares if what you are screaming racism about isn't true? And you all claim to hate fake news, even though you spread it?

The corrupt media that almost nobody trusts are getting destroyed by guys in their bedrooms with $25 cams. Not a surprise they are on the warpath. WSJ ginned up a nazi story and every other outlet getting trashed by youtube pundits picked it up and advanced it. Yellow journalism must destroy youtube because youtube content creators out what a joke our mainstream media is on a daily basis.

The irony that this actual thread was fake news, from a guy who peddled the Obama birther conspiracy.
