It would be more useful to present your ideas here instead of linking to a 20-minute YouTube video.

Of course if you try to write down your ideas, it forces you to think about what you are saying. At that point you realize that a 20 minute ranty YouTube video probably fits into a paragraph or two of refined thought.

I must be getting old but any controversy that involves any amount of YouTube bloggers is an immediate sign to not bother. It's intended to generate outrage and views, in that order.

I think the facts should precede any statements of ideas in this case. Since the article do not present the facts as a sequence of events, the video I linked seems to be useful.

The video is about the facts, you can dismiss the extra 10% of the video. Unless he's hiding some facts, it seems like a good summary.
