I heard about this. Yeah he isn't wrong. The media is in bed with all the elites, corporations, and authorities and they try to sway opinion in ways that are favorable to those interests.
I suspect that this is the reason that YouTube suddenly started attacking weed channels just as legalization is looking more and more inevitable. They have alcohol and prescription drug advertisers and legal cannabis scares the hell out of both of those industries so it seems awfully convenient that they pick now to start silencing people who are actively supporting the cannabis cause.
