Why do my YouTube videos get millions of views even though it's just some ranty Northerner sat in front of a world map behind a webcam? It's because people are desperately searching for an alternative. They instinctively know the BBC is bullshitting them. They know that every single story they report is beholden to maintaining the leftist consensus. I mean look at the utter ludicrousness of the "child” migrants who arrived in Croydon. Anyone with functioning brain cells could see these men were not children. Some of them were in their late 30s. The BBC insults our intelligence on a daily basis and only the incredibly naive can't see that at this point. The BBC still absurdly insists it is impartial when it clearly isn't, whereas I am honest, up front and open about my bias. People can see an authenticity in me that the likes of the BBC can never provide. View quote
Paul Joseph Watson

A live record is an example of that authenticity and that realness that you find in imperfection and you can hear that in this record. View quote

One of the consequences of the Iranian revolution has been an explosion of history.

It's funny; it's a real balancing act. In TV, everybody's talking about authenticity. In order to make 'Dirty Jobs' authentic, I really can't be overly informed. The minute I am, I become a host... It's a very tricky business paying a tribute to work, because TV is very bad at it. View quote

The advent of Google+ and the emergence of the personalized web means this is more true than ever.

Not long ago the head of what should be a strictly scientific department in one of the major universities commented on the odd (and ominous) phenomenon that persons who can claim to be scientists on the basis of the technical training that won them the degree of Ph.D. are now found certifying the authenticity of the painted rag that is called the "Turin Shroud" or adducing "scientific" arguments to support hoaxes about the "paranormal" or an antiquated religiosity. "You can hire a scientist [sic]," he said, "to prove anything." He did not adduce himself as proof of his generalization, but he did boast of his cleverness in confining his own research to areas in which the results would not perturb the Establishment or any vociferous gang of shyster-led fanatics. If such is indeed the status of science and scholarship in our darkling age, Send not to ask for whom the bell tolls. View quote
