Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
They do, but it gets deplatformed pretty quickly. There's one called 起底工作室 China Unlocked, produced by China Daily that puts out short vids about China issues, usually media spats or hot topics.
They were recently 'deboonked' as fake news for using software to smooth out and de-accent (well, 'correctly' accent) their speech.
Their speech? Like changing how it sounds in post processing?
Are these on YouTube? Send a link. I wanna see
Yep, so one of the two hosts' un-edited English is Chinese-accented. Perfectly fine and understandable. But their producers applied an accent filter over the top to smooth out pauses and give it a slight British accent, presumably to make it more intelligible for overseas audience. The other host has a slightly American accent post-editing but I don't know if she spoke differently before.
The articles attacking the studio were completely proportionate and said stuff like they're creating 'AI propaganda'.
You can find their stuff re-uploaded by others if you search '起底工作室 China Unlocked' on YouTube. China Daily still has its own account there too.
I literally don't understand the "problem" there if all they did was make the speech more clear or whatever. People do stuff like that all the time. Seems like a desperate excuse to ignore the facts in the videos and just point and "see? China! Bad!"
Also this came up under that channel. I don't know what I expected, but this is Johnny Harris' greatest enemy

I watched that video (sample size: 1) and I didn't see anything wrong with the info they presented. It all tracks with my memory of the whole "pipeline saga"
Pipeline was blown
US was like "wow! Who would do this!? Russia, the country benefiting from a pipeline?! Wow!"
Which makes zero fucking sense except in a false flag style way. False flags do happen, but that shouldn't be your first explanation.
Anyway, the most obvious culprit was the US or Ukraine and I believe the truth ended up being basically the US helped some Ukrainians do it. I think the problem the liberal "fact checkers" would have with such a conclusion (which is just true? To my knowledge and memory?) is it doesn't blame Russia and it does blame the US.
I'm kinda curious what Johnny put out on the pipeline now. I bet it was dogshit. He always puts out dogshit.
Oh shit, so they do have a channel. It didn't come up when I searched. Good stuff.
Edit: also yeah that's the two hosts with their normal voices. The stuff they've published since then has the filter applied and it's totally a non-thing.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
