Description

YouTube makes it almost impossible to easily filter for factual content. Dangerous content runs as fact, that may make someone think we are at WAR, or that the Supreme Court has done the unthinkable. No disclaimer, just fiction running as fact, or YouTube should state that you can't believe anything that they run
