The choice of the text scrolling over the collage, however, is the author's / NYT's doing.
> Caleb Cain was a college dropout looking
for direction. He turned to YouTube.

watching thousands of videos filled with
conspiracy theories, misogyny and racism.

If some, in the admission of the writer, are not far right / [insert some other libelous term here], is it fair to label them all as such?
- mistermann 7y agoAll's fair in love and meme wars, which is what this is. At the end of the day, I think the implicit "one side is using facts and truth, the other is using lies and deceit" narrative is effective, but it also has weakness in that it is a bit lacking in the truth department. I'm not liking the direction these debates are going though.
