=== Don't Contact the Journalists (02:16) ===

[00:00:00]  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.
[00:00:07]  I really would prefer it if people wouldn't contact the journalists who are currently smearing me.
[00:00:14]  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.
[00:00:28]  One, I'm sure they don't want their inboxes full of people who don't like them, right?
[00:00:33]  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.
[00:00:45]  Secondly, they'll probably find some way to make this my fault.
[00:00:50]  They're the ones spreading these articles around.
[00:00:52]  They're the ones spreading these jokes around as if these jokes are not just jokes I share on my channel.
[00:00:59]  But they're the ones putting it in front of everyone's faces and I will somehow take the blame because of that.
[00:01:08]  And if you do things like this, then I'll probably further take the blame.
[00:01:13]  So I would appreciate it if for care of me you would not do that.
[00:01:19]  I've always and I've always been expressly clear about this.
[00:01:25]  I never have wanted anyone to contact the subjects of my videos.
[00:01:30]  There's no need.
[00:01:31]  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.
[00:01:38]  If you have a problem with them, there's a website called TrustPilot where the public can rate and review websites on the internet.
[00:01:48]  I'll leave businesses on the internet.
[00:01:51]  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.
[00:01:59]  That would be, in my opinion, the most preferable thing to do.

=== Avoid Contacting Them (00:54) ===

[00:02:02]  Failing that, obviously you reply on social media wherever you like.
[00:02:06]  And that's probably useful to have done as well.
[00:02:10]  But yeah, please don't just contact them.
[00:02:12]  I'd really appreciate it if you didn't because this is not making anyone look good.
[00:02:17]  I know it's probably cathartic because they write terrible things and they basically are professional liars for a particular political agenda.
[00:02:27]  And that's an agenda that I'm opposing explicitly.
[00:02:30]  And they're aware of that.
[00:02:32]  So that's why they do this.
[00:02:33]  We all know this, right?
[00:02:34]  We know that that's why they're doing it.
[00:02:36]  However, this probably only hurts our cause and it's the kind of shit that they do to me.
[00:02:44]  That's exactly why they write what they write.
[00:02:47]  So please don't do that.
[00:02:49]  I would really appreciate it if we could keep it to civil discourse in comment sections, etc., etc.
[00:02:55]  As I've always asked.
