[Peace-discuss] The "war on alternative media" (RT, Grayzone, Jimmy Dore, etc.) is underway -- according to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rR2ZMduQE2s

[J.B. Nicholson]

It's not clear which sources will go away but that will depend on how much they can afford to stay 
around and how much spine they show in response to censorship from their media hosts. RT, for 
instance, has hosted more of their own videos on their website in addition to posting them to 
YouTube. I suspect this is because the YouTube copies can be unpublished but different measures will 
be needed to adversely affect distributing the copies hosted on the rt.com website. The coordinated 
attack on Infowars was a test/tech-demo of sorts, and that appears to have worked.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rR2ZMduQE2s -- "Democrats Pretend to Oppose Iran Attack They 
Enabled" also includes discussion of how alternative media that challenges the establishment will go 
away.

These URLs are pointers to 3 recent Jimmy Dore segments from last night's Max Blumenthal (of The 
Grayzone) interview which ran live at the time of the interview. Jimmy Dore's staff breaks up the 
interview into topic-based segments. Due to uttering 'swear' words, we can't run them on UPTV which 
means without some censorship, they can't be part of AWARE on the Air or News from Neptune.

As Dore & Blumenthal point out, Tucker Carlson is perhaps the only mainstream media voice 
challenging the Iran attack.

You can see auto-generated captions on all of them now if you turn that on via the YouTube viewer.

If you prefer to watch the media by downloading it, consider using the free software[1] youtube-dl 
program (from https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl ) which will write these auto-generated 
subtitles to a file (and include the auto-translated subs too, if so desired). Keep in mind that 
unless the uploader provides subtitles, YouTube auto-generated subtitles are based on speech-to-text 
translation. The quality varies; sometimes they're rather impressive and sometimes laughably wrong. 
Auto-translation adds subtitles for over 100 other languages based on whatever subtitles an uploader 
supplies or YouTube generates via speech-to-text (hence you'll get translations in over 100 
languages on the aforementioned videos despite that Jimmy Dore is not hiring a team of translators 
to do this work).

Once you get a copy, run "youtube-dl --update" to update it to the latest version and easily keep up 
with new versions which add support for downloading videos from more websites (not just YouTube, 
despite the name).
