Who Will Guard Us From The Guardians? YouTube "Protects" Users By Hiding "Conspiracy

• https://www.zerohedge.com by Robert Bridge

This month, disgraced Buzzfeed performed yet another astonishing feat of shoddy, agenda-driven journalism by reporting that it took just nine mouse clicks on YouTube to go from a PBS report on the 116th Congress to a video entitled 'A Day in the Life of an Arizona Rancher,' produced by a Washington immigration reform group known as The Center for Immigration Studies (CIS).

The video that so enraged Buzzfeed details the story of Richard Humphries, an Arizona resident and former narcotics officer living just miles from the US-Mexico border. Humphries, increasingly concerned with the number of illegals traversing his 75-acre ranch, built a watchtower on his sprawling property to help him and federal border agents track illegal aliens. Considering the 'extremist nature' of the content, is it any surprise that the CIS was branded in 2016 a 'hate group' by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), a group itself that has been portrayed as touting a leftist agenda, yet is quietly partnering with YouTube to flag 'hate' content?
