Anyone have a tl;dr of the video in question? Haven't got time to watch it right now
8Ex NSW premier John Barilaro was an executive director of a western Sydney property development company. That development company is closely tied to organised and gang crime - murders etc. - and so far its kingpins has evaded any serious prosecution. The video insinuates that this is a result of corruption of the NSW government.

I hope someone re-uploads it anonymously on YouTube.
5For anybody looking to make change: don't ask permission, and be not afraid of death.
2“journalist”
-37Journalism is printing what someone else doesn't want printed, everything else is just public relations.
Seems to fit the definition to me.
30Yeah, his "Paradise Bombed" video was really eye opening for me, his team confronts the German manufacturing company who made air to surface firebombs being used to commit genocide in Papua New Guinea and the company spokesman outright denies any involvement despite having the evidence set on the table in front of him.
Top Class work, imo.
27Independent is a tough word for some people to grasp..I mean, it has MORE than 10 letters.

Dudes a better investigative journalist than all of the muppets in the mainstream media at the moment.
The stuff hes covered and reported on has been ghastly. From corruption and crime in nsw government to drones dropping grenades on village folk.
21Why isn't he a journalist? Because he is also making funny videos?
12Folks like this are independent journalists, once it becomes a profession for them.
I think the assumption is that a news agency or company will have a chain of accountability, fact checkers, editors, etc. that can, in theory, give some assurance of factuality, credibility, and responsibility. Also, authenticity: did they hire a properly qualified journalist or some dude who is interested and has opinions?
In practice, of course, billionaires have seized the means of social reproduction in media and policy, so that is mostly bullshit. Agencies run by journalists themselves are still worth paying attention to. Even the billionaire media has to pay attention to credibility at least, so some of what they do is factual.
Omission and defining the boundaries of discussion are the quiet lies.
