There are good books and bad books. Same with YouTube videos. Yes there is alot of garbage on the internet, just like for eons there have been garbage books. Youtube, and the internet in general, are a true global people's revolution of information and the exchange of ideas and world views.
Honestly, your dismissive response reminds me of the way "9/11 Conspiracy Debunkers" over at the Screw Loose Change blog like to simply dismiss YouTube as a legit medium as a way of handwaving away the very legit information contained in those youtube videos.

My post had nothing to do with the credibility of YouTube, but moreso of Flappy's reliance on it to make any kind of point...that's it. But thanks for the lecture.

Purely? Granted, it has its roots within our history but to say AJ didn't stretch some truths to fit them into his documentary is a bit fallacious I feel.

But it wasn't and by this point, I can't help but feel he's off the deep end by now.
