Okay, I made this question last time and no one answered, but should we keep double posting articles? I just feel it's unnecessary to be posting it twice. Maybe post it where it feels most relevant. Because the double posting just feels like an attempt to keep bumping the two news threads.

[RainySunshine]

It doesn't hurt anything.  If they are pertinent to both, then that is fine.  Some people may check here and not check there, and visa versa.  I know I already try to post where it is most relevant, but sometimes it is relevant for both. 

[Death Blossom]

Idk. I'm worried for when say a conversation starts about both and then there's seperate conversations going on about the same topic in two different threads. Just seems discombobulated and disjointed.

[RainySunshine]

For as little as that happens on world new and politics here, I am willing to bet it will be just fine.

If you want to laugh at the Young Turks, check out this video.  It's long.  Video Link.  Except the main host freaking out on Conservative Conspiracy Theorist Alex Jones and nearly throwing punches, with his girlfriend swearing up a storm.  Fights, spitting, and the true nature of these liberal hosts.  Check it out if you want a laugh.

Basically 42 year olds acting like edgy 16 year olds who think they know everything about the world and politics.

[Anyponedrawn]

It is a whole video documenting their horrible 2016 and how and all their outbursts.  I'm still watching it... it's hilarious.

[Death Blossom]

Pffff. True trash they are. How can anyone take them seriously.

[Anyponedrawn]

Not many apparently.  Went to see how their channel was doing, and they are only getting 132 live watchers during their broadcast right now, and their videos are only getting between 30,000 and 60,000 views.

 The video I linked, the dude is getting hundreds of thousands of views a video, lol. 

[Death Blossom]

Hm. That's still a lot.

[Anyponedrawn]

TYT used to get way more then 30,000 to 60,000 views. 

Now no name Youtubers are getting far more views then that.  Alex Jones (conservative conspiracy theorist), who is also in that video, he's the good guy in the video, his videos vary from 30,000 to well over 100-200,000.  His live streams get into the millions in followers.
