YouTube just deleted InfoWars conspiracy theorist Jerome Corsis channel

YouTube just deleted InfoWars conspiracy theorist Jerome Corsi’s channel
By Sky Palma
Posted on March 1, 2018


In the wake of the Parkland high school shooting that left 17 people dead and dozens injured, YouTube is targeting videos published by far-right conspiracy theorists who are prolific disseminators of fake news, and wiping them off the platform.

YouTube has also been doling out strikes to offenders, and Alex Jones’ InfoWars is reportedly on its second one after posting videos that accused Parkland survivors of being “crisis actors.” Now, the platform has taken out one of Jones’ most visible reporters, Jerome Corsi.

In a post to Twitter this Thursday, Corsi announced that his YouTube channel was deleted. According to him, the company deciding it no longer wants his business is comparable to the “USSR.”

Right Wing Watch: USA Today published an op-ed in favor of arming teachers today, and apparently, the best person they could get to take that stance was Jerome Corsi, the crackpot conspiracy theorist who works as a “journalist” for Infowars.

USA Today presented Corsi as a legitimate “investigative reporter” with no mentions of his role spreading conspiracy theories, from the “Swift Boat” attacks on John Kerry to racist birther allegations about Barack Obama to his recent forays into the pedophilia-obsessed “Storm” conspiracy theories.

He's the lying asshole who attacked John Kerry with his semi-fictional slime piece "Unfit For Command" where he contrasted the "coward" Kerry against "war hero" GW Bush. What a piece of shit.

I don't mind conservative views like PJ O'Rourke or George Will, there has to be a right to have a left, but Corsi a liar who influences the weak minded.

to be on the trail of Obama's genuine birth certificate

He's completely consumed by hate and never hesitates to lie in pursuit of his objective
