Here's how you can tell the authentic from the Lolcows on Youtube. Do they still have a day job? Is this person making the video just some weekend hobbyist sharing his love of whatever, woodworking, beekeeping, plastic model building, Lego, whatever, in his spare time? Then he or she is probably a sane, well adjusted and reasonably informative individual who should be somewhat trusted in their area of specialty. Has this person given up the day job and taken up Youtube as a full time career? Then no. They are a complete and utter pants on head fool and a lolcow in development, soon to blossom into full cowdom. This is 100% without fail. As for who to trust for news? First party sources. Actual on the ground reports. Everybody has a camera these days. Believe what they show you. Don't believe the "Internet Famous".
