Media FAIL on Trump Mocking Disabled Reporter

New Tweet about Donald Trump Video

If we're going to get killed, they're going to get killed back.

From NYT article Published: September 12, 2001 By LAURIE GOODSTEIN

"Yasser Ahmed, manager of an Arab-owned candy and grocery store on Broadway in Upper Manhattan, said about 10 people had come in shouting, ''You guys did it!'' and other accusations.

At an Arab-owned grocery store on West 177 Street, a shouting match erupted among customers when a Palestinian woman blamed American support of Israel for the terrorism.

''I'm Arabic and Palestinian and I have just one thing to say,'' said Yasmeen Hindi, 19, a customer at Uptown Deli Grocery. ''I feel bad, but Americans have to understand something: If we're going to get killed, they're going to get killed back. Stop supporting the Israelis.''

UPDATE: See the stunt YouTube pulled!

Metal Fires which may have been in the World Trade Center ( WTC2 )

"Much of this debris came from the aircraft itself and from the office furnishings that the aircraft pushed forward as it tunneled to this far end of the building. Large fires developed on these piles shortly after the aircraft impact and continued to burn in the area until the tower collapsed. " Isn't it common sense that any metal fires are due to material we would expect when a plane crashes into those floors? You do know they make Fire Extinguishers for metal fires because they can happen with aircraft materials:

 Class D Fire Extinguishers are used for fighting class D Fires.

Class D: Metal fires involving magnesium, sodium, potassium and sodium-potassium alloys.

Class D Fire Extinguishers are mainly used for the aircraft industry, auto body shops, factories that work with metals, and other metal fire hazards.

I thought your "controlled demolition" theory insisted that MANY floors (almost every floor or ALL floors) were attacked with "thermite" to make the towers collapse "so fast" *so why are these metal fires only where the plane material was?

YouTube hid my comment to T.J.

Here is what I tried to post. I just tweeted it and am including it here: +The Amazing Atheist Yes of course it is manipulation of the media and it is clear that it is why the policy was put into place, because some people resented some content creators making money while discussing certain topics and I think it was expanded in order to do do EXACTLY as you describe "discouraging content creators from talking about certain issues"

I hope you see my other comment I just posted: +The Amazing Atheist Yes of course it is manipulation of the media and it is clear that it is why the policy was put into place, because some people resented some content creators making money while discussing certain topics and I think it was expanded in order to do do EXACTLY as you describe "discouraging content creators from talking about certain issues"

I hope you see my other comment I just posted: This is what people have been talking about. It is YouTube policy to not allow you to monetize it because of the topic.
 Please help by sharing the link to this petition with your fans because I think everyone will see that we are all in the same boat with this policy change: https://www.change.org/p/larry-page-cofounder-google-susan-wojcicki-ceo-of-youtube-eric-e-schmidt-executive-chairman-google-sergey-brin-co-founder-of-google-sridhar-ramaswamy-senior-vice-president-ads-commerce-youtube-please-restore-ad-revenue-for-journalists-reporting-on-wa?recruiter=393335316&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=share_twitter_responsive
I think many will see the need for solidarity and want to share this petition. We really need to work together to get YouTube to reverse this destructive policy change because it could even get worse. What is being aggressively imposed now is just one of the 5 main things YouTube lists as "Content that YouTube considers to be inappropriate for advertising" but look at the third one listed at their policy page: "Inappropriate language , including harassment, profanity and vulgar language" and think about how many times you use the "F" word in your videos. We need to get back to the original policy fast before it gets even worse and as far as independent journalism it already is extremely bad.

This is the wording from YouTube's policy page as it stands now where it mentions war and political conflicts: “Content that YouTube considers to be inappropriate for advertising includes but is not limited to: … Controversial or sensitive subjects and events, including subjects related to war, political conflicts, natural disasters and tragedies, even if graphic imagery is not shown.” source: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/6162278?hl=en
 (and as I point out, that is just part of what they list as things supposedly "inappropriate for advertising";) So please mention this petition in your next video and ask your viewers to sign it and share it with others because YOU and I and EVERY OTHER content creator should not be financially hindered because of topics we discuss if we abide by what was the original YouTube policy as abiding by Terms of Use.

Reports of Death on the News

“another study found that reports of death on the news make viewers respond more positively to advertisements for status products, like luxury cars and Rolex watches.” p. 140 The Willpower Instinct: How Self-Control Works, Why It Matters, and What You Can Do to Get More of It by Kelly McGonigal

YouTube, Please Restore Ad Revenue for Journalists Reporting on War

Youtube and Google have made a major change to their longstanding advertising policy and this has resulted in an enormous setback for independent journalism. Their policy change deprives independent journalists of advertising revenue if they report on such topics as war and political conflicts. This imposes a serious financial hardship for those trying to earn revenue from reporting.

For years journalists have been led to believe that they could report on the news of the day and earn an income for their work through the placement of ads which YouTube and Google would place. Now YouTube and Google have pulled the rug out from under independent journalists by arbitrarily declaring topics such as war and political conflicts to be content which they no longer consider “advertiser-friendly.” 

What we are asking for with this petition is a return to the policy which allowed independent journalists to earn income from advertising revenue exactly the way it was in previous years with the original YouTube/Google policy. The promise which YouTube/Google held of giving those reporting independently from “mass media” or “mainstream news” a way to earn revenue has been cruelly taken away.

If you value a healthy free press then we ask you to join with others signing this petition asking YouTube/Google to restore the policy they had before they changed it. The button to sign this petition and the tools to share this petition are on this page to the right. And there have been victories where YouTube has been successfully petitioned with a Change.org petition, so let's work towards another victory: Please Sign this and Share this with everyone you can.

Below are more details about how wrong, unfair and misguided Youtube and Google’s policy change is along with specific examples and explanations: 

“Monetize” is the term YouTube uses to describe allowing a video to have the ability to earn revenue through advertising.

We are asking for YouTube/Google to return to the policy which had allowed independent journalists to monetize their videos even when reporting on newsworthy topics such as war and political conflicts. It is important to note that YouTube/Google has arbitrarily imposed an enormous disadvantage on independent journalists compared to major media outlets which can and still do derive revenue from commercials appearing on their TV news shows and websites. And the very fact that there are plenty of commercials during TV news, which often features stories about war and political conflicts, calls into question the premise of YouTube's new argument that such topics are "unfriendly to advertisers.”

Author Kelly McGonigal, Ph.D. cites studies in her book “The Willpower Instinct” which challenge the premise that content YouTube is now suddenly deeming “inappropriate for advertising” might hurt sales, “another study found that reports of death on the news make viewers respond more positively to advertisements for status products, like luxury cars and Rolex watches.” So if the premise that YouTube is arguing is that they have to impose their unfair policy change to “protect advertisers,” the argument doesn’t hold water. And how could it since for years YouTube had monetized videos on serious subjects such as war and political conflicts?

An example of the unreasonableness of this YouTube policy change is the demonetization of a video titled “War Warning from Madison, 4th US President.” That video quoted the Father of the Constitution who wrote,  “Of all the enemies to public liberty war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded, because it comprises and develops the germ of every other.” That video had been monetized for years, yet now, with the policy change, we are apparently being told that advertisers will supposedly find James Madison's words "too controversial or sensitive?”

This is the wording from YouTube's policy page as it stands now where it mentions war and political conflicts: “Content that YouTube considers to be inappropriate for advertising includes but is not limited to: … Controversial or sensitive subjects and events, including subjects related to war, political conflicts, natural disasters and tragedies, even if graphic imagery is not shown.” source: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/6162278?hl=en

Yet even on that same policy page Youtube seems willing to allow for “newsworthy” content “where the creator’s intent is to inform” and “not offend or shock” when they say: “In short, advertiser-friendly content is appropriate for all audiences, from our youngest to older viewers. It is content that has little to no inappropriate and/or mature content in the video stream, thumbnail, or metadata such as video title. If there may be inappropriate content, the context is usually newsworthy or comedic where the creator’s intent is to inform or entertain, and not offend or shock.”

But the problem now is that in many cases YouTube is not taking into account if videos are newsworthy or if the creator's intent is to inform. And we can see many examples where the policy isn't even being applied equally to all content creators, some are allowed to earn revenue through advertising on subjects YouTube claims are "controversial or sensitive” while others are not even when reporting on the same topics such as war and political conflicts. (see example in this video)

There is serious concern that this policy change is being exploited to financially disincentive reporters on YouTube from reporting on things which some don’t want reported. YouTube says “when determining if a video is suitable for advertising” they not only rely on “sophisticated technology” but “we also depend on our user community to flag inappropriate videos to us for our review.” And now it appears that special interests can abuse this system by coordinating attacks in order to financially harm YouTube channels reporting things they disapprove of.

What we are petitioning for is simply the very same right to support our work with advertising revenue as the network TV news shows do. Depriving reporters on YouTube of that same opportunity is destroying the promise YouTube once held for truly independent journalism. Without the same kind of revenue generating opportunities as network news, journalists trying to report independently suffer an enormous disadvantage and many simply cannot afford to continue operating as they had. This change is effectively economic censorship imposing political censorship.

Whatever the motivation for imposing the new policy, depriving independent journalists posting videos on Youtube or writing on their websites of the same financial opportunities which major media's network news profit from is misguided and unfair. It puts those who challenge the dominating news outlets at a enormous disadvantage. Several independent media channels have put years of work into building on the funding model which YouTube's long standing policy had once promised but now that has been ripped away. If you enjoy independent media then you will want to sign this petition because without a reliable source of income many independent media cannot function at the same level.

Please don't sit back and allow YouTube/Google to take away the same opportunities of revenue earning which major media outlets can and still do benefit from on TV and websites. You can help petition YouTube/Google to ask them to stop imposing such a financial hardship on independent media. Signing this petition and sharing it with others helps spread the word. This video titled “YouTube, Please Restore Ad Revenue for Journalists Reporting on War & Political Conflicts” promotes this petition and viewing it and sharing it with others helps get the word out about our efforts.
