1. Your "You Tube" needs to be sourced.

"Caspian Report" turns up as a RW Website and I alerted on you. Sorry about that.

Please source.

2. A "RW Website?"

That's a laugh. I wonder why anyone could come to that conclusion. Did you see the video or not?

The source is the youtube account associated with the video. It is not complicated. Please have a look at the videos on the account, they are not right-wing. Thank you.

3. It came up in Search as a RW website...but it is NOT RW website at all.

I apologize for alerting on you...and fortunately a Jury said you post was Okay and allowed to stand. It was MY mistake.

But, it's still always good to give source of video here so people know where the video comes from.

4. The Caspian Report is one of the best sources for geopolitical analysis

It would be a shame if, due to your overzealous attempts to ferret out all that doesn't fit the echo chamber that DU became, others here did not have a look at this terrific analysis of a multifaceted, complicated situation in Yemen.

DU once was a great place to learn things. In the last thirteen years, though, I have seen it become a place where people go to have their preconceived notions reinforced. Unfortunate, really; as a result, I hardly post here anymore. People's hair-triggers make it too difficult to discuss anything, all too-often.

5. I agree with what you say which is why I wish you had just posted a link to the

Real "Caspian Report." People (myself included) have had posts from RT America locked when it was an interview with a long time DU Accepted Favorite who was being interviewed because of "The Source." That's why I wish you had posted the source. A search revealed RW Source and not the source you wanted to be attached to the video.

6. I don't understand what you're asking

I linked to a video from the youtube channel for Caspian Report. That is the source. The video is sourced, meaning that if you look on the channel for Caspian Report there are various links to their social media accounts. Really, it's not difficult.

See, this is what I dislike about DU, pretty much since around 2006-7: political hypersensitivity has detracted from the debate. Not once have we talked about the content of the video, which I believe is pertinent to a critical political crisis about which more DU users should learn.

It's all exasperating and I think I've wasted my time. Since I've been here since '02 I don't care whether anybody "alerts" on me or not, I just think it's farcical to call this a political site anymore, it's more of a support network for people checking in for reinforcement.
