Off hand I'm not sure, but it's a very public policy.

YT automatically flags videos that it detects as dealing with a current political/medical/... you name it/ topic, and gives what it thinks is the official source of information for this. Usually, a government agency of some kind.

In the case of political stories, "authoritatvie sources" like the mainstream media. Independent news sources get absolutely crushed in algorithm. You can't even find their stuff with exact title searches, just like the issue with Naomi.

If Even if you type her name, you can't find "Naomi Wu"  thats bad.. that's just evil.. Anybody would feel snubbed.. Hopefully thats not the case (afraid to look, but I could see that happening)

Its not, a search by name finds her.. good..

I'd like to know if you find asny written policy.. For example, there is a meta description tag..an xml format for source verification.. by fsct checker sites - wish I could use it to provide source info.. and have it picked up consistently..

NiHaoMike:
Perhaps someone should write a browser extension that blacklists (filters out) mainstream media junk, flat earth junk channels, etc. from Youtube search results with the user being able to select what to blacklist.

Who fact checks the fact checkers?

Seriously. At the last election there were 'fact checking' websites run by one side or the other to a) confirm whatever that party wanted to push, and b) diss the other side's claims.
