YouTube this week surfaced videos peddling misinformation, hateful messages and conspiracy theories to users tracking major news events—prompting the site to change its search results to promote more authoritative sources. For example, the fifth result when searching “Las Vegas shooting” on YouTube late Tuesday yielded a video titled “Proof Las Vegas Shooting Was a FALSE FLAG attack—Shooter on 4th Floor.” The video said there were multiple shooters in Sunday’s mass shooting, a claim dismissed by law enforcement. Posted by a channel called the End Times News Report, it amassed more than 1.1 million views in about 27 hours. The fourth result when searching “NFL anthem protest” on Wednesday was a video that claimed Anheuser-Busch InBev BUD 1.35% NV was considering pulling its sponsorship of the National Football League over national anthem protests—and urged viewers to push the company to do so. The claim had been widely debunked days before. In response to criticism on social media of some search results this week, a person familiar with YouTube said the company is accelerating the rollout of planned changes to its search engine. On Wednesday night, the video service began promoting more authoritative sources in search results, especially pertaining to major news events, the person said. YouTube doesn’t disclose how it determines which sources are authoritative. YouTube, a unit of Alphabet Inc.’s Google, has long been full of fringe content. But as the world’s largest video site and a growing rival to television, with more than 1.5 billion monthly users, YouTube’s feeding of such spurious content shows how the site can contribute to the spread of misinformation. Google also faced criticism this week after the “top news” section of its search results misidentified the Las Vegas shooter by featuring a thread from a fringe message board. Many large brands pulled spending on YouTube earlier this year after news reports revealed their ads were running before hateful and extremist videos. As a result, the site removed many videos and pull ads from others. There didn’t appear to be ads on the fringe news videos this week.

More authoritative sources? You can bet that no one in the alternative media, the only ones who are actually investigating this latest event are not on the list of "authoritative sources". However, it's 100% certain that any and all of the CIA-controlled Mockingbird media propaganda peddlers and their paid whores will be cited as "authoritative" That statement is not true Deckard. Why do you feel the need to lie to make your point? The truth is enough.
That statement is not true Deckard. How many of the networks have actually investigated anything other than what they are told? None of them is questioning anything about the event. They are being spoon fed information from government sources - they aren't even asking any questions. Las Vegas Shooting - Paul Craig Roberts You will have to make up your own minds about Las Vegas. Here are some of the reported facts to consider: The victims killed and wounded total 573. That number is the size of a military battalion. It is very difficult to turn an entire battalion into casualties with small arms fire even in a fierce combat situation. I don’t know if it has ever happened. Can one person with no military training shooting down from 32 stories, which requires special sighting knowledge, at a distance of 390 yards—the length of 4 football fields—hit 573 people in a few minutes of firing? Jon Rappoport doesn’t believe it. Neither does the progressive Steve Lendman. There are reports of multiple shooters. There are reports of gun flashes from the 4th floor. The windows on the hotel do not open and would require the glass to be broken. Stephen Paddock doesn’t fit the profile of a psychopath. Reports are he was a multimillionaire with airplanes and his own pilot. He enjoyed life. His brother is dumbfounded, said it makes no sense Stephen did the shooting. The Mandalay Bay Hotel is reportedly a casino. If so, security cameras are everywhere. Why no videos of Stephen Paddock carrying in the many cases of 23 firearms and ammunition? How could maid service clean the room for three days and not see 23 firearms and their ammunition? Makes no sense. Why 23 guns? The number is beyond superfluous. The large number almost suggests that the entire event is concocted as a gun control incident. The huge number of guns, the huge number of casualties. Finally, at last, enough “gun violence” to get gun control. And it is not only the authorities and the presstitutes that truth is up against. There is also the lack of integrity in people with axes to grind. For example, Paul Street writing in CounterPunch says: “The Las Vegas massacre is just the latest in the Gun Lobby’s long line of terrorist attacks on U.S. soil.” The article is titled: “The NRA’s Latest Terrorist Attack on U.S. Soil.” You can read it here. The gun control lobby has a massive vested interest in the official story. You can bet your life that the gun control lobby will ignore any and all problems associated with the official story. The story is exactly what they want in order to advance their cause. The campaign is underway. As Paddock is a rich white male, the story also fits with Identity Politics. Paddock is another example of the evil white male. Here is the Identity Politics connection served up by the Washington Post: “All across America white men, some young, some of the middle-age, are turning into wolves. Always, after they commit acts of terror, it is revealed out that these perpetrators were not men after all. They were beasts, mindless monsters whose evil was abstract and cold and terrible.” CNN says mass shootings are “a white man’s problem.” See “How America has silently accepted the Rage of White Men.” What became of that video you posted of Pollock in a pink NASA shirt. Did that turn out to be CT photoshopping?
Published on Oct 5, 2017 ETNR EXCLUSIVE: A high level source at YouTube told me that leftists are censoring coverage of the Las Vegas Shooting to control and push an anti-gun agenda. Not when they are herded into a crowd of 22,000 and one person has a weapon with the ability to shoot into the middle of a target the size of a baseball field with a gun that can fire 100 rounds a minute AND HE ACTIVELY SHOOTS FOR TEN MINUTES. Do the math, dildo. Stevie Wonder could have killed more half drunk shit kicking sheep. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح

The large number almost suggests that the entire event is concocted as a gun control incident. The huge number of guns, the huge number of casualties. Finally, at last, enough “gun violence” to get gun control. ALL of the above bears repeating. If no one can give a plausible answer to ANY or ALL of your questions, Houston, we have a problem. The MSM is sandbagging this incident BIG TIME. WHY?? They've been INSTRUCTED to back off. WHY?? The story AND Truth is radioactive. This was YUGE news. The largest mass murder in US history, and they are UNUSUALLY patient, un-curious, and under-investigating, and asking what appear to be scripted, softball questions instead of rock-solid TOUGH questions. Eyewitnesses DID report multiple shooters coming from different directions. Massive glass breakage is going to alarm people (but somehow NOT in this case.) As in the case of the Pentagram and 911, SECURITY CAMERAS festoon the place. But yet NO footage is released or disclosed. Yes indeed -- security cameras (AND staff) *would* have noticed/taped the dude lugging heavy duffel bag after duffel bag after duffel bag. And THAT wouldn't be considered "suspicious"? And apparently NO patrons of the hotel are interviewed? IF they are, why are investigators mum about it?? How many patrons WERE at the hotel on that day? has THAT been reported? This alone screams "COVER UP!!!" As Paddock is a rich white male, the story also fits with Identity Politics. Paddock is another example of the evil white male. Yup. Exactly. The MSM, Academe, and Globalists are actively trying to demonize and scapegoat gun-toting, gubmint-distrusting WHITE America. However, alleged perp Stephen Paddock not only does NO fit any profile of an unhinged psychopath -- as you alluded to his hobbies and wealth -- he had plenty to live for. Oh wait; And Dead Men Tell No Tales. Why 23 guns? The number is beyond superfluous. The large number almost suggests that the entire event is concocted as a gun control incident. The huge number of guns, the huge number of casualties. Finally, at last, enough “gun violence” to get gun control. The gun control lobby has a massive vested interest in the official story, [thus]...the story is exactly what they want in order to advance their cause. The campaign is underway. BINGO. There ya go again, making absolute sense of the sense-less, logically adding up all the factors of the equation (2 + 2), EASILY connecting the dots, AND drawing the ONLY sensible/logical conclusion one can make. Frankly, given what we've come to note -- A big-time sandbagging of every facet of what is a Mickey Mouse investigation; the lack of releasing ANY info (other than officials IMMEDIATELY IDing the perp as "Your typical ANGRY middle-aged white guy who owns LOTSA guns and is on meds"); the lack of scrutiny into The Mandalay Hotel, it's hardly a stretch to believe Mandalay was used as a staging base for either a sanctioned Black Op, OR, Antifa Org Op. Prime Suspects: Soros. Bammy. Swamp.
