Well isn’t this precious:
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. — A video press briefing with Accelerated Urgent Care doctors Dan Erickson and Artin Massihi was taken down from YouTube by the media company Monday.
The video was the first of two videos playing the entire briefing from a press conference last week. Reports of the video being taken down suggest YouTube pulled it for violating community guidelines.
23ABC News verified on our YouTube page that the first part of the press briefing is no longer available. We have submitted an appeal to YouTube, but have not heard back yet.
23ABC News is investigating the matter and will update as more information becomes available.
The video went viral, reaching over 5.46 million views, and sparked debate over recommendations to lift the shelter-in-place order. Even catching the attention of of SPaceX CEO Elon Musk.
Go here to read the rest. Hey YouTube, if you act like a publisher rather than a neutral platform, you can be sued for libel just like any publisher. Your obvious left wing politics are taking you into legal jeopardy. I hope your effort to play correct thought police costs you endless amounts of money.
Fortunately YouTube is an incompetent censor as people keep posting the video.
Bonus:
Law blogger Viva Frei comments on the demonatarization by YouTube of his recent video on Trump and the spurious allegation that he recommended ingestion of disinfectant:
Here is the demonetarized video:
That took longer than I expected.
And as if on cue (which I would not rule out), a storm of histrionic attackers burst forth in the Twitter swamp to hurl every imaginable accusation against Drs. Erickson and Massihi for having the audacity to question The Narrative. They’re not real medical doctors. Their degrees are not from the right schools. They’re not epidemiologists. (Neither is Fauci, by the way.) They used the wrong formulas. They are Trump plants. They are Russian agents. Blah de blah de blah. The same fate awaits anyone who defends them. As usual, not a single one of these predators, many of whom tweeted from newly-created accounts having zero or only a handful of followers, so much as tried to make substantive arguments against the conclusions Dr. Erickson and Dr. Massihi reached. From this, I infer that the gentlemen are in fact directly over the target, so to speak.
The current reality is much like 80’s cyberpunk novels, with two differences:
-The technology we have access to is far less cool.
-The Megacorps that control our lives are beholden to China instead of to Japan.
I know that this is supposedly due to following the WHO rather than China specifically, but at this point the WHO is practically an arm of the Chinese government anyway.
Well put, Frank.
Were it not for TAC and Laura Ingraham show of 4/27 most of us would not be aware of these doctors conclusions.
The Left and Democrats synonymous with Panic and Hysteria.
@CAM
Thank you.
And I agree, both TAC and Laura Ingraham are invaluable.
