The Public Deserves to Know and We Should Have a Fair Chance to be Heard

[kramselab]

Thank you for the effort you have put into these videos. I agree that the system is not transparent, and I feel it should be. What can we the viewers do? There does not seem to be any way to contact YouTube, except to post a comment, and who knows if it gets looked at?

[ranabanana123]

I understand your frustration, but don't give up. it's very important that, even if there are attempts at stifling your videos or messages, you continue spreading your messages. We need all the voices we can get. Keep up your amazing work.

[paulspydar]

so who decides what is or is not "top news"?

[dangerouslytalented]

There is a huge problem on youtube if people know how youtube orders the videos.

If it was made public how youtube orders the videos, then certain users WILL deliberately tailor their videos to exactly those algorythms, and all you will get in the top 100 will be a bunch of attention seeking sub whores.

[representativepress]

@dangerouslytalented It's funny as I started to read your comment, I didn't know where you were going with it. I disagree with your conclusion. I think transparency is the best approach and the one that respects the people. If it is all out in the open, I think it is LESS likely the system will be rigged or gamed. I think at the very least people should be allowed to know if actions are being taken to demote or marginalize certain videos. I explain it in my video and recent question in new video

[dangerouslytalented]

@representativepress I have come up against some people who do this kind of thing. If they can find a way, ANY way of cheating the system, then they will take it, and use it.

So many of the... eccentric... things that youtube does are because they are trying to combat those who are cheating the system.

[representativepress]

@dangerouslytalented The only thing I see as far cheating with "popular" or "top news" was some of my videos getting cheated out of being listed within the top 100 when going by the totals of thumbs ups and other things, they very clearly should have been. One time is was even most views for a given category and still not there. I don't know what the mechanism is doing this but I can't see how making it transparent would mean someone could "take advantage." Can you even give me a scenario?

[dangerouslytalented]

@representativepress If the cheaters know when the system updates, for example, they could get a bunch of votebots to vote exactly the right time to force a video into the top 100,or they could have Breitbart or somebody release and publicise it RIGHT at that point for example. And if everybody tried timing it for the right time, then the servers would get overloaded...If the cheaters knew exactly how they did it, they would use it to gain advantage.

[sexybaby3ful]

meeh Guys I really feel unhappy now anyone wanna chat

[myOATHmyCREED]

they are rippin great vids down at an alarming speed! download it while u can, many master pieces are gone and gone when reposted

[vizzez]

representativepress hate ur voice and im sure youre being payed by goverment

[sugarpuddin88]

Soon Max Keiser will have Pirate Tube up which will make things FAIR and completely uncensored!

[sugarpuddin88]

Brilliant!

[RootsRadish]

Of course you're being censored! Censorship has always been a part of mass mind control and media manipulation. There is nothing you can do about it. All we can do is try to reach people one at a time, there is no mainstream media for people espousing views that are contrary to the official story.

[02011982]

YOU RIGHT!

[JuddABarz]

your such a sad waste of skin give up homo.

[AvEryBadApPLe]

life isn't fair, get over it. this site has investors and big business never gave a shit about anyone who isn't buying overpriced goods or services. fyi: viacom even signs alex jones' check.

[1mealperday]

fair, FAIR! surely thou jestest !

[pimpmaster007]

where are u from?? are u persian or american?

[7jerryv7]

Youtube and Myspace are very skewed. I find the main pages to be worthless.

This is precisely why I choose to view videos from subscriptions such as this one. I can go directly to good clips and avoid those that are not really news or politics. Keep up the good work

[nohealthcare62]

Like HR 676 Universal Health Care ..every post I made on Newspaper Posts all over the USA are DELETED and ERASED !!! How do you like that and Not FT Worth or Dallas Newspaper will LET me POST on HR676 I cancelled BOTH !

[BUTTERYSHOTGUN]

your amazing keep up the work

[OneGirl007]

Does comment on the content of a video mean anything to anyone? I agree with your video, it is very hard to dig for stuff, because of how it is spotlighted, so I subscribe, it helps me to find you without problems, such as this. However, it must be hard to advance from a format such as catagorized content, and have your insightful, newsworthy arguments seen and heard. I'm not sure how to change tabbed policy. Any ideas John Q. Public? Keep up the work..please!

[ready2roll]

I love how this guy talks in his raspy voice of a more "transparent" media system but in reality he is pushing his own agenda by just siding with his own arguments...

Not everything is black and white hot dog stand guy

[RunawayRed]

I hate the "Top " " " and "Popular" tabs that are default now. It's really annoying since I typically look at most viewed, and most discussed first, but now I have to click "see more" then go into the tabs and pick what I want. Not that it's hard or anything stupid like that, it just makes me wonder why they would bury user driven categories when they've worked so hard to streamline everything else. Then again, I could just be putting to much thought into it.

[truthhurts30]

Zionists are always using some kind of sympathy to get what they want like killing innocent children, women, and elderly and also blocking aid that carry food, medical supply, etc. The hate wars are caused by the Zionists and blame it on others.

[Twirly60]

Well what do you exspect,your living in a Police State,freedom died in the US years ago,its now run by big bussiness .

[iNNoCeNttDReAMs]

you know what i completely agree with this. Now a days when i come on youtube and view the news section, hardly are there anything worthy to look at anymore, just some stupid story about dave and palin.

[warrkrymez]

I'm glad the FCC has no say on what is broadcast over the internet, all that's needed to filter out the truth is your own criteria.

[fnm11231]

the truth will set u free

[vidmakr]

Truthfully I seek out your videos for the content. I understand the frustration caused by the "manipulation" folks at youtube. You have to remember, this IS their show. As ugly as it may appear, they control what we CAN an CANNOT see and hear. Since GOOGLE stormed in the rules have changed. We must rely on each other to spread the news. In your case, viewers should be encouraged to share and promote content which they feel deserves a wider audience. (hint)

[representativepress]

vidmakr, we don't know why it is happening and I never said Youtube is doing it as their own policy. It is possible, but only one possibility. Whatever the reason, there is nothing wrong with pointing out that it is happening. PERHAPS it can be fixed. I certainly think it is healthy to make these things public. And it is important to do so because a distorted view of what videos and what Ideas are getting the public's interest undermines our democracy.

I agree that sharing helps.

[audiorage092]

I agree. I think that this needs to go beyond youtube though, which I know your company has already taken it. I personally started my own Palestinian Rights group at my high school and used the website "If Americans Knew" as a huge reference..and turned a lot of people on to the site. I think making facebook groups is already gaining a lot of popularity, especially with the "causes" section. Another thing is hitting the streets. Having protests and delivering information in clever ways to public

[Joshzx101]

i agree

[musicmylifemalay]

in my place its home subscription videos channel

[CadVentor]

hey man, you never flip flop or zig zag,you are always straight,you keep it short and clear.may Allah bless you.you could be a great muslim.good luck in your future life.

sorry for the bad english

[Joshzx101]

god bless u and ur videos...so happy to watch ur videos as they r all true..and it is great to know that people r watching...i dont care if palestenians or israelis are watching cuz they are aware..but its great that the american people r watching how they pay money to support israel only because of AIPAC and media manipulation..eventhough israel is behind the suffering of the american people. great job ..really great

[Joshzx101]

plz check out george galloway's interview with sky news during the hizbulla -israel war..just see how the interviewer freaks out when Mr. Galloway talks about Israel..would love to know what u think..and great if u can find a link between sky and Israel...thanks.

[llailahaillallah]

peace

[llailahaillallah]

peace watch me

[ododidit]

I have often said there is manipulation going on at youtube, i have seen videos with like 9millions hits and its never shown on the front page of youtube which is disgusting, and its always something that is questioning the governments view, however anything else like someone falling or something that means squat well thats front page all the time.

[DieChavScum]

Completely agree, it's important to know that 90% of the worlds media is owned y the same 6 men.

[studentforever01]

i Agree 100%

[lacarneceria613]

stu-

On June 20,2005, 21-year-old Wafa Samir Ibrahim Bas was arrested attempting to smuggle an explosives belt through the Erez crossing.

Dr. Izzeldin Abuelaish, doctor at a refugee camp, said"Wafa was sent to kill the very people in Israel who are healing Palestinians from the Gaza Strip and West Bank. What if Israeli hospitals now decide to bar Palestinians seeking treatment? How would those who sent Bis feel if their own relatives,in need of medical care in Israel, are refused treatment?

[GodsOutlaw1964]

I 101% agree the powers that be doesn't want the truth to be headline news obviously,All they want is yes people what a crock

[sidneyoh]

The Public Deserves to Know and We Should Have a Fair Chance to be Heard

ya this is true see im trying to comment your video on gage but my comments are not showing up WHY

your video is the only tme ive had this problem

[oneofakind32]

I have noticed this as well. I don't like it!

[Shannaro18]

ok I agree.  Let's figure it out. Can anyone do that? ... let's do it

[hollywoodartchick]

I have noticed this too. I have been dreading the day when the internet, like radio, tv, and all communication technology before it is so commercialized that it no longer allows free access for citizens because so much advertising money is at play for every pixel available. It will be a fight to keep sites like this from becoming like commercial TV stations, but it is worth speaking up.

[Niocan]

While your views on 9/11 are flawed and shallow in comparison to it's implications, you still shine when it comes to political views and for that I thank you :).

Don't worry about what's right and what's wrong, look for the truth and adapt to its self evident nature. Continue to be the press that the people need!

[stacie1420]

why are all the videos about youtube dickin you around you used to put out great videos , lets get some of those back

[representativepress]

stacie1420, I plan to make many videos exposing political problems, the thing I wanted people to know is that what is being displayed to the majority of the users on YouTube, the pages which are the defaults, are not a reflection of the relative interest in a particular position. showing things which undermine the revolution is important. we need to work extra hard to get the message out. I'll make more videos about things other than YouTube, at least people can see I don't censor myself with it

[stacie1420]

Im excited to see videos like last year :) they are great and again I look foward to them

[godsend420]

interesting

[craven88]

it's the jews, stupid!

[Reqrezentin]

I agree it is the Jews.

[UNOMINER]

its the Jews lol is it the jews using depleated uranium in shells in the A1M1 tanks that give the drivers of these tank more exposure to radiation in about 36 days than any other person can take in a year. was it the Jews selling selling weapons of mass destruction to Al-Quida forces. NO America. What about telling personel to keep off A1M1 tanks that been in a fire because of radiation contamination. Oh it got held back till after the war. Jews NO.

[beccasan1]

I checked my favorites the other day and 8 of 108 videos had been disabled including George Carlin's "Who Really Controls America." What's going on?

[spicerlaw]

Thanks for asking for my opinion. After watching two of your videos, I think you should stop posting altogether. You seem to have an acutely diminished critical reasoning capability that ensures dissemination of content rich in plebeian fodder. To be clear, an intellectual dilettante.

[ZWILD1]

Your verbal masturbation serves little purpose other than to reveal your penchant for boorish infantilism.

To be perfectly clear: Grow-the-F***-Up! (or use your 'nads -if you have them- for something besides playtime).

[spicerlaw]

My Dear ZWILD1,

Wow, you scholarly soul. It is not surprising that your attempt to string together a word or three using a thesaurus quickly deteriorates into ad hominem profanity. Not surprising at all. Refer, kindly, to my original post, you know, the post to which you responded.

[UNOMINER]

who is representativepress I am asking as it says he has watched 82000 videos in 3 yr. thats like 82 every day an at 5 mins a vid thats almost 7hrs a day?

not a massive user of youtube so may have facts wrong or he is many users on same account.

[ZWILD1]

If you weren't so busy stroking your ego you might be able to think about what you're writing before you hit the "send" button. To wit: you accuse me of an 'ad hominem' reply to your commentary AFTER you have accused someone of having "diminished critical reasoning" and of being an "intellectual dilettante". Have you any idea what "ad hominem", "dilettante" or any of your fifty-cent verbal diarrhea means. Or have you simply run-out of people who are convinced you're a hypocritical boor?

[representativepress]

spicerlaw, really? how so?

you gave no specifics. why don't you use this opportunity to inform us all?

[spicerlaw]

representativepress,

To those of us who have rational thought, it is self evident. To those of you who do not have rational thought, the answer will always be illusive. You sir, and your band of ingrate followers find firm and unyielding purchase in the second category. Rational thought is the key.

[Sheogorath64]

RepPress takes geat pains to be rational, constantly pointing out the flaws in conspiracy videos floating around youtube. I haven't seen him make ONE video that doesn't have obvious, logical evidence to back it up.

Do your own study of media content in America and compare it to elsewhere, do some statistical analysis if you want proof.

[representativepress]

thank you Sheogorath64

[spicerlaw]

Yes, thank-you. Forgive my capricious manner, and above all - my foolish attack when not warrented.

Let the revolution begin.

[representativepress]

Why not enlighten those who are just learning, thre are young people on here too.

And I think it is bad form to write off people by claiming that they will never get it. I think others can see that you are simply being evasive. You don't like something I said AND YOU CAN'T DISPUTE IT, so you hope to sabotage it by planting doubt in some people's minds. What the heck is this "ingrate" stuff? You think the people don't have a right to insist that our representatives obey the law?

[makatak3]

Agreed! They think we can't see the statistics being tampered with.

I guess just doing a vid to point out that they've been caught is a curt reminder that this had not gone un-noticed

P.S.

I think spicerlaw has been on the Monsanto burgers again

[spicerlaw]

Sir, I apologize for the nature and content of my remarks.

[representativepress]

Well, I'm happily surprised. spicerlaw, I forgive you you. Let's spread the word and fight to end the obstacles to achieving our goals.

[ZWILD1]

Rational thought? Is that what you call it when you attack someone using words that are beyond your meagre comprehension? Engaging in pseudo-intellectualism so that you can include yourself in the debate whilst illustrating sub-mongoloid analytical technique is not rational nor does it involve thought.

The self-evident fact is you are not rationally prepared for a conversation with adults and the pretentious vocabulary you abuse cannot hide your inadequecies.

[spicerlaw]

yawn

[herzglass]

I will continue to support your work, sending other people your videos and link your website!

Just go on with it!

[CapitalistHolocaust]

Yes Rep, please don't get discouraged as demoralizing as it is.

The Top News page definitely allows youtube to control what is seen.

It's possible that they thought of it to stop people ramping their videos with fake views & proxy IPs so that you are getting videos that are actually being watched (based on comments, ratings also)....

BUT, I've seen many of my videos not make it to the page, even though they had bigger stats (views, comments & ratings).

Regardless, it gives them more control.

[fresshness2001]

chinese style censorship only much more sub-dermal because we have at least an illusion of transparancy and non-tyranny.

[kmg501]

Don't get discouraged, just keep building a foundation by doing your best work. One of the things I've come to accept is that sadly humanity has many more people that are barely able to think past their current mood and need than there are people that think about much larger issues.

[siradam575]

Good stuff!

[aewester]

whats the best way to get in contact with/ express opinions to youtube?

[zsnes3260]

email  youtube

[zsnes3260]

good video

[LPGfan]

"top news" was invented so that YouTube could arbitrarily decide want to put on its main page. They will post partners and they might remove things that they don't like or they might collapse a bunch of redundant vids into one. The other rankings exist, but they are not the default. I suspect that they won't change this practice because it is about making money (and the other rankings are available).

[representativepress]

"They will post partners and they might remove things that they don't like "

One of the reasons it made sense for me to become a partner was so that there wouldn't be a reason to lose out on the extra exposure that partners are supposedly getting. Youtube says they select partner videos to show in "Featured Videos" yet I have not seen one of mine. The only video ever featured of mine was 2 years ago and it was called "Was Tigger Getting Screwed With by Father and Son? EXTRA VID"

[representativepress]

the sick thing is I am trying to be "advertiser friendly" as far as not using any cure words meanwhile I have seen youtube feature plenty of videos with profanity! The one thing I won't do is change my political views and there really shouldn't be a reason I should. No one should be removing videos just because they don't like the political views. I see plenty of political views in "Top News" which I don't like so this shouldn't be a a controlled forum. Let's see what happens.

[juliaisafilmbuff123]

Look up "capitalist censorship" on YT for a good explanation of this stuff.

[daizee106]

Thank you for saying this. Youtube sux

[950horsepower]

If YT is going to tilt the playing field, then I guess I can assume Google is doing it too, right?

So, why should I buy Google ads?

[1urbandevil]

I've noticed it too, and yes it makes it harder to see real peoples views and points view.

We need an open book, this is the world we are talking about not something made up.

Don't give up, you fight for the truth!

Stay strong all!

Media control = Mass control!

Not freedom!

[evilmoneysystem]

I can only say. I support you all they way on that point. Keep me inform please. I am learning here and your questions supply answers to many of my questions. If I can do more to help, let me know.

[EVLPropaganda]

It seems to me, that what they are doing, is exactly what they TRY to do best and that would be to distort or hide truth from the American public. It has become a game of cat and mouse for the people whom are set free with knowledge and who know the difference of what is real and what is perceived to be real. It's a damn shame, but that's the game. Picking up a book or two in one's lifetime has become somewhat obsolete in my generation (20's)and upcoming generations.Toomany relyon thePganda box

[REVOLTbydesign86]

those of us that are awake are trying hard but keep trying harder, the masses still sleep we need to inform and educate as fast as possible word of mouth is just as good as this site, even better tell everyone bout zeitgeist addendum or any other movie to get the word out that we are being controlled like cattle and enslaved by the elite

[wcarlpdrysdale]

we need a new "fare" you tube !

[amz2424]

well there have been arguements that censorship is what youtube is using to suppress views. I disagree, I think the views are being sold to the highest bidder. I dont think with the way youtube is now that you have a fair chance of being viewed as other people with more money and influence. People with more influence can put out whatever nonsense they want and get away with it becuase they are the ones who pay youtube money. It is not a fair system Just look at fred who is shoved in every1s face

[iranianboy123]

Nice Nice

[Arginine88]

Jews do love to control the media, or anything else that involves manipulation or demoralization.

[pondman27]

It seems that YouTube is well into morphing towards another version of censored and manipulated media.

The numbers of alternative blogsites has exploded already, all that is required is for the right kind of infrastructure to be put into place to disenfranchise the censors.

[bbburton]

I'm pissed at the entire changes YT has made ever since google took over. It's total crap. They even screw with my own page views and what I can access. They make it harder and harder to view content posted by those I don't subscribe to, but do watch. Like I don't always agree with you, but I do watch your vids. If I didn't subscribe to you, many of your vids would never come to my attention. It's really frustrating.

[PObserver]

You're being silenced by the Zionists within YewTube.

[swordpeak]

not as long as you talk about Israel, this is jewtupe their promised site

[PObserver]

You're being silenced by the Zionists in YewTube.

[Ponerology]

Of course, they can't just have the most viewed. It has to be controlled in some subjective way. Anything to keep from talking about US/Israel policy in an open manner.

[Eraser7622]

What is official view on 9/11 from the representativepress? You've done videos that have indicated both main positions; independent terrorist attack vs. inside job. I know it is not accurate to be so black and white, but those are generally the two positions. Please let us know.

Sorry for this being unrelated to this video, but it is certainly not unrelated to the mission of your channel.  Thank you.

[representativepress]

Eraser7622, I don't think anything I have said indicated 'inside job' To clarify, if Cheney, Rice and others decided to ignore warnings so that SOMETHING (not even being sure what kind of al-qaeda action) would perhaps happen, I don't consider that 'inside job' that is 'just' sitting back and allowing something in order to use it. Despicable yes but technically not "inside job." We don't know why people like RIce didn't do more or why Cheney lies about Richard Clarke.

[ProthoPectore]

[khaledhamdan1985]

It's so obvious, RP... You critisize Israel they ignore you... stop telling the truth about what's happening in Palestine by the Israeli occupation they will chair up and publisize all your videos happily.

[Chriseycarlyeah324]

youtube is get to commerical

[SubRandomv6]

Agreed. Transparency is key. Strange that the U.S. in the only version of the site that does this. Perhaps influence or just youtube using a new feature on their largest sample population?

[FamilyTracingVideos]

It is a new feature that they have.

Free palastine

[UNOMINER]

Palastine was never free UK took what use to be Israel from the ottoman empire. an the ottomans owned that area for 100s of years before that. now the people called palastineans want to claim it as theres.

Why are the Jews so persecuted? Why did Hitler want them all dead? The Bible tells us why.

Look up what David Wilkerson has prophercied over America. Who owns the Natonal parks in USA. What about 8 Alaskan Islands given to Russia while cold war still on?depleated uranium in A1M1 tanks.search

[nizamknight]

the ottomans were muslims too. palestinians were mostly muslim
