      With every update, tweak, and clarification that YouTube has pushed out in the last 48 hours, they drive more harassment and vitriol against LGBT creators. They have turned what should have been a clear policy rollout into a fiasco. It's unacceptable. pic.twitter.com/IU2gi4E9lH

      Dear @TeamYouTube Tomorrow night I’m covering the “Dyke March” in Washington DC. If someone says something vulgar or demeaning to the LGBT activists, I would include that in my video. Would I be penalized for exposing such behavior on film? Do you want me to sanitize/ignore?

          I’m getting a lot of new followers recently largely because of the @YouTube debacle, and I want to clarify my work: I’m not “neutral” or “centrist.” My work is objective and raw. When you film two (or more!) sides of a conflict, raw just means I’m presenting them as they are.

          I film without commentary other than tactical/contextual observations. My own opinion is irrelevant in my work. “Neutrality” or “centrist” is proclaiming the equality of both sides. I make no such - or any - proclamation. Not all perspectives are equal. I let the viewer decide.

          So tonight, I’m covering the “Dyke March” for example. It’s a pro-LGBT event. Someone may heckle or shout at them. Me filming them and also filming anyone who opposes them isn’t a claim that they’re the same thing. That’s ridiculous. It’s just raw video news.

          Tomorrow, I’m covering a “rally against illegal immigration” at the White House. The founder of the Oathkeepers will be present. I’m sure some people will be out to oppose them. I’ll film and speak to both sides. Covering them both in a raw style doesn’t mean they’re the same.

Which is more plausible: You’ll win by teaming up against the big tech corporation doing the censorship (my idea) or you’ll win by teaming up on one guy?https://www.redstate.com/brandon_morse/2019/06/07/carlos-maza-trying-take-heat-off-dont-let/ …

          This was the exact angle used in James Fields trial for murdering Heather Heyer, but they used a local photographer's video who lived in Charlottesville. I'm a documentary video journalist like you, I only know what my camera sees. WE MUST NOT BE SILENCED
