Johnny Harris: A Story of YouTube Propaganda

[barbaraann]

There was a thread earlier featuring a video by Johnny Harris about "liberal hypocrisy." The original post has been removed but it prompted me to learn more about Johnny Harris since I had never heard of him. Here's a video that I think does a good job of explaining what seems to be going on with Harris, who calls himself a journalist, and with some other YouTube journalists/influencers in general.

1. Sounds like a subtler and more modern John Stossel scenario

In the 70s and early 80s Stossel had been a pretty decent reporter on the consumer affairs and lighter news beats, both on the NYC ABC affiliate and on Good Morning America.

But he stalled there and didn't get whatever he thought he deserved, got fed up with dickering with grocers over peas and getting punched by pro wrestlers, so he shifted to the much more lucrative "free market" propaganda biz.

2. Oh, yes. I had forgotten him.

For some sellouts, it seems that grudges are in play as well as money.
