So I decided to spend a bit of time and share it, since if you had, you have not shared it with us.

I clicked on the video. Within seconds I noticed that they rely on Pump Politics. Never heard of them. So I searched it. Nothing. Lots of references to parish pump politics. So I put it in quotes. Nothing. Pretty much the same links. So I added -parish (minus sign to eliminate). Still nothing.

They are nobodies. You could have found that in seconds and answered your own question. It took me longer to touch type this than to get the answer.

I also noticed it was uploaded by Players United Media. So I searched that because you did not. A bunch of self-promoting hits. Okay, dig a bit. I searched for "Players United Media" in quotes, adding bias as a term. Nothing. I substituted reliability as a term for bias. Nothing.

More nobodies.

3. If it were true it would be big news, not a hysterical headline by some video rando.

And you could have googled it yourself.

5. "Altered or synthetic content" is usually a pretty good giveaway that what you're watching is crap.

And thinking that it's impossible to know what's true or not is a great way to start falling for everything.
