I think folks need to learn how to learn. Just like you shouldn't get all of your news from one source, one video should never change your opinion on a subject. One doctor can make a video, just like one journalist can write an article, that doesn't make it true. What does the scientific community have to say? Did the article use any primary sources? Who stands to profit if this is true?
The bottom line is that US run media is bought by both the extremists on the left and right. All of the big networks.
As several have stated, overseas media outlets such as BBC news are truer to their journalistic roots. Surprisingly even Al Jazeera the Qatari outlet is consistently unbiased. Not sure if thats because they have high standards or that its all relative to their sold out US counterparts. Of course they are exceptions to the foreign media rule. RT is essentially Putins slick propaganda arm is should never be trusted for anything.
Remember when watching the "news" .... BE INFORMED.....NOT INFLUENCED.
i stole that line from one them lol
