If that is what you read from my comment then you're just trying to form a narrative. I did not call LMG news. I was also not covering the incidents on which GN is reporting (I definitely agree that this is gross). I was just balancing your comment which is overly negative of a company (and more specifically Linus) which has grown enormously over the past years. Reality is just not as black and white. LMG has problems and should take responsibility but LMG still provides a benefit to many people and they seem to have great and fun employees who genuinely want to do good.

I agree with GN that if you're presenting yourself as a data channel you need to take more responsibility. I just never treated LMG as such a channel. For me again it's about the stupid entertainment and not their data driven content. I don't respect their data. I would never recommend a friend to watch LMG content to form an opinion. Your "fox" example would better apply if I had said that I knew LMG was presenting bad data but that it's not that bad because it's just fun and all.
