The 1st Amendment was created, specifically, to stop certain people from claiming that they are the only legitimate news available. It was written, and passed into law, to stop government propaganda from being the only news source of the people. Because someone attended a school of journalism, or someone's writing has been published, does not make them any better than a citizen journalist. Though I may be a published author, myself, it does not make me any better than anyone else, when they want to express their opinion, either in writing, or verbally. That is why the corporate media are fighting citizen journalism, because the truth is escaping, and they are losing their jobs as the gatekeepers. That is what demonetization is all about, because big business is in cahoots with the MSM.
YouTube was set up for citizen journalism, and debate can be had within the comments. However, the MSM have been outed, and their shills have lost their leftist debates, most soundly, within the comment section of YouTube. Thus, what is happening now, is that the MSM, and their socialist owners, are fighting back by stifling free speech, because they can't win a debate, after they have been caught in fallacies and fabrications.
