Please Do Not Contact the Smear Merchants

Hey everyone, so I thought I'd just quickly record this because this was brought to my attention and I just want to make something clear.
I really would prefer it if people wouldn't contact the journalists who are currently smearing me.
I know that it's very, very tempting to do so because they seem to be such disgusting people in many ways with absolutely zero moral standards, but I think that this is probably a bad idea for many different reasons.
One, I'm sure they don't want their inboxes full of people who don't like them, right?
As someone who's had enough of that in his day from people like this, I would like to have it on record to say that I don't think that this is something that's very nice to be done to people.
Secondly, they'll probably find some way to make this my fault.
They're the ones spreading these articles around.
They're the ones spreading these jokes around as if these jokes are not just jokes I share on my channel.
But they're the ones putting it in front of everyone's faces and I will somehow take the blame because of that.
And if you do things like this, then I'll probably further take the blame.
So I would appreciate it if for care of me you would not do that.
I've always and I've always been expressly clear about this.
I never have wanted anyone to contact the subjects of my videos.
There's no need.
And because a lot of people tend to watch them, that can result in a large number of people and I don't want that to happen.
If you have a problem with them, there's a website called TrustPilot where the public can rate and review websites on the internet.
I'll leave businesses on the internet.
I'll leave a link in the description so you can go and leave a review of the place at which they work if you want.
That would be, in my opinion, the most preferable thing to do.
Failing that, obviously you reply on social media wherever you like.
And that's probably useful to have done as well.
But yeah, please don't just contact them.
I'd really appreciate it if you didn't because this is not making anyone look good.
I know it's probably cathartic because they write terrible things and they basically are professional liars for a particular political agenda.
And that's an agenda that I'm opposing explicitly.
And they're aware of that.
So that's why they do this.
We all know this, right?
We know that that's why they're doing it.
However, this probably only hurts our cause and it's the kind of shit that they do to me.
That's exactly why they write what they write.
So please don't do that.
I would really appreciate it if we could keep it to civil discourse in comment sections, etc., etc.
As I've always asked.
