I'm just pointing out that some people seem to be quite agitated or alienated as a result of the conclusions and statements made in the videos. It's probably not a good thing when one considers that this is a forum made up of people with a variety of opinions and ideas, some of which may be in opposition to those espoused by NLBS and supported by ATS.

The thing that really bothers me about it is that it's an ATS production, posted on ATS and they're allowed to do what ever they want without worrying about the T&C. I'm pretty certain if I posted a video with such an absurd amount of profanity the thread would be removed, and I would a nice message from the mods.
Double standards aren't cool.

Why or why are we saddled with repeating the same thing over and over again to people who seem to want to stick with predetermined conclusions that are absolutely wrong.
It's really frustrating, you know?
-sigh- here we go again for the x-hundredth time…
We don't allow swearing in messages on the board, because it's permanent and for the average user, not optional.
We've always allowed non-gratuitous swearing in audio and video productions by members.
They swear on ATS Live (no one outraged)
Members swore in ATS podcasts, even I did (no one outraged)
We swear in an ATS-produced video, everyone losses their minds.
Idiotic.

It seems as though you're suggesting that -- like mainstream media -- we should pander to a specific point of view or mindset, and find ways to tell people what they want to hear.
Now THAT is next level BS.
"I think it would be better for NLBS not to come to hard conclusions on alternative topics, but rather present the information and let viewers decide for themselves."

Sometimes, for conspiracy-minded people, it's difficult to accept contradictory viewpoints… and that's unfortunate.

Haven't watched one yet, don't intend to. If anything the only reason I even have any comment at all on NLBS is because I find it extremely irritating when I accidently click outside of the intended window on a mobile device and an NLBS video pops up. Seriously. It's irritating. Change it.
