YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

I recently published a video about a farm attack, in which I accuse the English media in South Africa of contributing to the crisis through distorted reporting. The editorial team at News24 regards this as a blatant lie and asked me to issue some form of a public apology. They have sent me a list of links to review, which I will do before I respond.

The point of this video is a much deeper rooted crisis when it comes to the media. Not just News24, but also the media in general.

In this video I explain that Lex Libertas plans on starting a new initiative that will serve as a media watch, to report on the extent to which the facts are distorted and misleading narratives are persued by the media.

We need your support though. If you are interested in helping, you can complete the form at this link and we will invite you to the planning meeting.
