There is always the risk of taking fools and liars more seriously than they deserve. But then again Google-owned YouTube deserves every shred of scorn and ridicule we can still muster in these crazy, exhausting times. Most recently, the cat video website YouTube silenced Sen. Rand Paul — a medical doctor — for posting a video in which he stated his studied medical opinion about a vitally important medical issue. Dr. Paul stands at the very intersection of politics and medicine — precisely where the issue of masks and the effectiveness of government mandates come together. Now, it would be easy to dismiss YouTube as some kind of crazy crank ripping down a neighbor’s political signs. After all, that is who they are and what they are doing. They are no different than the social media giants who kicked President Trump off their platforms because they disliked his political statements. Unfortunately, YouTube has become a mega-media giant — attached to an even bigger mega-media giant — where millions of Americans have fled to get away from the so-called “mainstream media.” They left the so-called “mainstream media” over galloping disinformation — only to find themselves subjected to even more shamelessly twisted disinformation.
