Damn, you're obnoxious.

Oh yeah?
Well, you are vocally opinionated!

YES, I AM!

Good video.
Fake news is, for those who need to have this explained to them, making up a story wholesale. It's reporting a fiction. This obviously isn't what CNN did, since there actually was a Muslim solidarity protest for the victims of Manchester. They weren't even the only ones to report it. But getting all these people together to stage a snazzy photoshoot, making things look larger and more snazzy than how it was in reality, is sensationalism by the very definition of the word.
It's not as bad as what they're being accused of, but it's still not good.

That's what you get when the news is treated as entertainment. There's a good if somewhat depressing series called Newswipe that explores the topic in more depth, if you want to see more about how the sausage is made.

Terrible video. Bad. I caught one word in two or three and he flaps his hands a lot which is very distracting.

Different strokes, I suppose. I pay no attention to his hand movements, and I have no trouble understanding what he's saying whatsoever. The pace of his delivery might take getting used to if it's something you've not seen much of.
Philip DeFranco's been a Youtube staple for like a decade now, and I think the quality of the content he's put out has only improved with time. He does a good job, IMO, of cutting through the tangle of conflicting partisan spin that surrounds so much of the (mainstream and amateur) media coverage of the events unfolding in our world, and presenting the events, and the responses they create, in a format that is easy to digest, and far closer to genuinely fitting the phrase "fair and balanced" than any media outlet that's ever even thought about employing it.
He is steeped in quite a few of the "Youtube vlogger" tropes -- fast pacing with jump cuts to remove pauses, a whiff of clickbait in his video titles/thumbnails, and constant plugs for other Youtube channel content -- and that can make him unappealing to some, but I consider the meat of his content good enough to ignore the extraneous stuff.

I wasn't being entirely serious. A poor parody. I do have a problem with hands that are in my face a bit but that's peculiar to me and it has been worse over the last year. At least his have a natural look to them. I think fast delivery is hard because I'm slower to process information than I used to be and, I'm not used to it. Pauses give me time to catch up. No complaints about the content, some excellent points.
Having said that, he definitely talks more slowly in a second viewing.

47-year-old Roy Larner battled the three machete-wielding jihadis with bare fists and shouted: "f**k you, I'm Millwall!
Roy was knifed eight times by the attackers at the Black & Blue restaurant and bar. He fearlessly shouted back and fought them alone, saving countless lives and allowing others to escape in the process.
"I stood in front of them, trying to fight them off. Everyone else ran to the back. I was on my own against all three of them, that's why I got hurt so much.
"It was just me, trying to grab them with my bare hands and hold on. I was swinging. I got stabbed and sliced eight times. They got me in my head, chest and both hands. There was blood everywhere."
Wow the UK needs more of these men.
