Fun fact: there is no way to subtlely cut coke with meth. Meth will burn the absolute shit out of your nostrils when snorted. It also does not wear off even nearly as fast as coke does. All of this on top of being significantly stronger than coke. Do not worry about how I know any of this. Point is, she was not doing meth on accident. If you confuse meth for coke for 8 days, you are actually too stupid to be doing drugs, which is an impressive feat, after falling through the “stupid enough to do drugs” ceiling.
I mean, maybe she didn't know what meth or coke felt like. I choose to belive her in this one instance since for one, it doesn't make sense optically to lie about; and two, I just find it funnier to think about.

I never heard of "Kiwi Farms," tried Youtubing them to find that they're apparently not big enough to have their own dedicated channel? Are they some small time streamer that linked to this video, explaining the 42 upvotes at the time of this writing? This reads to me as, "So what you're saying is..... some streamer few of you have heard of was right?" {Edit} Found out with a little more research that Kiwi Farms is a forum (that I've never heard of). And based on the characterization of its Wiki article, sounds like a community of e-thugs, many of whom probably belong in prison. No mystery why a major news organization wouldn't take them seriously.
@@PoochieCollins "many of whom probably belong in prison" For what, being mean on internet? Exposing pedos and animal abusers? This is why you shouldn't get all your "research" from a Wikipedia page written by troons.
I’ll admit she’s gotten better at taking responsibility but to me the moment she starting deflecting and talking about other news networks and their faults showed me that she still has a long way to go.

Never dreamed I'd watch a TYT video, but I saw the title in my suggestions and had to see this. I CAN NOT believe this is actually on the TYT account and I'm about to put a like a TYT video. WTF? Am I in bizzaro world?
Hey comments section, why Mutahar's piece was so damning is he didn't once undermine his own argument by being transphobic, he held her to the same standards as anyone else, like an equal (and at the end of the day, that's what most trans people want, to be treated like equals and living a normal life, like he said in the video). I think that's important to note because everyone blaming her for being trans and not for being a liar and a fraud are undermining your own arguments, which actually helps her avoid accountability. Being trans and/or a woman doesn't magically cause you to scam people.
@medaux537so basically just took Keffals opinion and accepted it? You will never know how manipulated you are. Muta literally predicted this in his video and provided numerous examples of keffals finding anything tphobic to avoid responsibility. She even tried to claim he misgendered her because he used 'they' a couple of times, then people showed her old tweet where she said her pronouns were she/they
@medaux537 if you watch the video you will see how much care was taken into the video, you're completely brain-rotted if you think that thumnail is made to be transphobic. Keffals scammed 100k from money that was supposed to go towards advocacy for trans rights, why aren't you up in arms about that!? Keffals hurt trans people and the only transphobic thing you're worried about is a thumbnail... THINK MEDUAX THINK!!
The worst part about this is when a trans streamer does try a crowdfunding campaign for real, with good intentions, they’ll always be looked at with suspicion and accused of theft/lying no matter how much they show receipts. Keffals has really poisoned the well of discourse here and ruined it for everyone. Disgraceful.
Really???? The real victim isn't the owner and user of the website he slandered and got taken down illegally, or the people he scammed in his fundraiser, or all the other random people he's attacked, but TRANS PEOPLE? This is some real "Muslims are the real victims of 9/11" type shit.
Rehab is very expensive. 1/4 of the money went to rehab, another 1/4 went to the rent, 1/4 was buying new tech. Is it impossible for her to have spent $10k on drugs and another $10k on her “friends”?

Omg you people are actually the dumbest folks that exist. if they did ANYYYYY research, they would have NEVER needed to record this video. You‘re proof that liberals are brain dead morons that blindly believe the media, how naive that you‘re praising them 💀
It's all just self-serving.. When they took Keffals side back then they did it because that was the popular side to take, now they are against her because it's already cemented that she's a vile person, this retraction or correction really means nothing when so much time has passed and everyone else already covered it.
I'm not a big TYT viewer, but I heard about this and after watching it I wanted to drop a comment. I respect you guys for correcting the record on this. Lord knows the vast majority of major outlets and YT channels won't do the same. Which is extremely problematic and shows a complete lack of journalistic integrity. Therefore, the very few who do correct the record deserve to be acknowledged and saluted for it. Kudos. 👍
Agreed. There are so many culture-war brained people who have become incapable of admitting a single fault "from their side" no matter how obvious, but will instead rationalize away any and all things the "other side" might gain from in the vaguest of ways. Zero principles, all cynical machiavellian schemes. It never works out for them. Sooner or later most people will realize that all those people believe in is "winning", and will say and do anything to accomplish that in the most short-sighted way possible.
We’ve been telling you guys for years since your first platforming of her with no corrections. Interesting now you guys are actually addressing the troublesome issues she’s been doing. Props I guess. Better late than never
Let me guess, the rest at TYT didn't want to do this one, so the one person with integrity had to do it... Ana, leave these hacks, you'll be better off, trust me. It'll be just as much of an improvement for you as it was for Tucker Carlson. You'll probably get multiple times the views if you go to Twitter or start your own RUclips and do what you want to do, speak the honest truth you truly want to express...
You didn't promote her "unwittingly", you did so uncritically. 95% of this information has been a public knowledge for over a year, with wildly contradictory statements made by her during that media tour.
@@imacomputer101 The dust has already settled, all the damage, cloudflare's horrible decision, it's all already been done and over with and only NOW do we get the retraction with the facts that have been present since last year. How can people be happy with that? It's like when massive storms destroy towns and cities and the help only comes a year later, yes help is always nice but a year after? It's not enough.
Yeah this is an insane take. It's like saying "You should have had a crystal ball and known that she was going to misuse the funds and condemned her appropriately" like dude all there were at the point was skeptics, not even all the crimes had been committed yet like what?
@grantmaybe Wrong. Lots of info was out before the gofundme that pointed to possible concerns of ethics with Keffals. The DIY hormone directory where Keffels worked with individuals like Bob posting. The relentless amount of sus behavior in the "Catboy Ranch" discord Keffals ran and interactions with minors. It not wrong to make obvious assumptions. Keffals has a large digital footprint that this is just the tip of the iceberg.
Good for Anna here. You make a mistake in reporting, you correct it and not double down. This is what journalists should do and it shows me that regardless of any disagreements I might have politically or whatever im general, Anna will do her best to find the truth and correct herself if she doesn't. That to me is far more valuable and is worthy of my attention than some person I agree with 90% of the time who can't admit when they are wrong- which is inevitable at some point because we all jump to conclusions, make the wrong assumption, and often dismiss the message because of the messenger. Keep on going Anna.
Are you an idiot? She said the original reporting happened years ago. This is nothing to do honesty and humility. All you have to do is look at the time of the video it’s over 16 minutes. It’s all about money.
@@Eric-oi5yj Ana is admitting she made a mistake and is being honest about it. That deserves respect. Stop trolling around and go do something productive. Maybe offer to help clean out your mom’s basement…you do live there after all.
@@Michael-kf7gm someone being honest does not deserve respect. I expect people to be honest. I guess you don’t. Pointing out someone’s dishonesty is not trolling. If they had of used the money that they raised in 2015 to put in basic reporters, maybe they wouldn’t have such an issue like this. She very clearly said that the story was in 2019. One think it was later than that, toodoing your job does not deserve respect. Doing your job is expected. If you call yourself a reporter then do your job as a reporter.

Almost everything in Mutahar's video was well-known to anyone who'd bothered to look. It just had to come from the mouth an a sufficiently popular brown person before you guys would acknowledge it. Kiwifarms did nothing wrong.
CORRECTION: You did not report the story "unwittingly." You promoted the story uncritically. The real story was always out there, and as journalists, you should have investigated before buying fully into Keffals' account. Be better.

Most of this information has been available for years. But whenever people tried to speak up about, we were shouted down and called "transphobes". I hope this can be a learning experiecne for you and others who defended this fraud.
It is good to see. I wonder if she realised her dog will die in a few years and she really needs a kid to pour all that affection onto. It's almost like she cares what the world will look like in 20 years, instead of going around with her head in the clouds because nothing bad has happened to her personally, yet.
For all of the disagreements we have, and they are many, this shows a lot of integrity. TYT has done the morally correct thing here and I applaud you; you have earned my respect here.
Honestly, I think it's a little cowardly that they waited until everyone else realized it was true. They never thought to scrutinize it themselves even though they amplified the fundraising claims. These people self-identify as journalist and have a staff. Why on Earth do gaming RUclipsrs without a staff that don't purport to be journalists have to do the work. Don't get me wrong. Correcting. It is better than not correcting it, but pretty cowardly when you do it on a monetized video. They could have easily assigned a reporter to look into this for a couple days at any point in the last year or whatever. But at the time it would have been unpopular and scrutinized heavily if they did that. So yes they should distance themselves keffals .... But the way they did it is pretty weak.
I applaud you for admitting where your reporting was not accurate. It takes courage, and unfortunately, that's a rare thing these days. Corrections ADD credibility. Thank you.
All of this info has been available for over a year, the only reason you didn't cover it is because it was on KF. All Mutahar did was regurgitate it, a huge portion of the info was taken directly from the KF thread.
#1 I've followed US politics fairly closely for almost a decade, and I've never heard about Kiwi Farms before this video's comment section. #2 Based on a skim of the Wikipedia article about the community, it sounds like "4Chan, but more criminal." No mystery why no major news organization would take them seriously.
@@PoochieCollins one of the foremost reasons that KF has been vilified in neoliberal tech circles is that KF has accurately reported on the misdeeds of Silicon Valley and (scammy) non-profit power brokers like Elliot "Liz" Fong-Jones, who've made it their life's mission to expunge the information and any platform that allows its publication from the Internet. tl;dr - the tiny autist-infested gossip forum with lassez faire moderation policies is not the bad guy here.
Thank you for correcting the record, Keffals is going to try to spin these videos as hit pieces and then cry about transphobia, but I'm glad the truth came out.
Seeing most of the attacks against her are usually transphobic, she has a reason. Not like the left cares, they would be much happier with less Trans people in their audience anyway, it's no coincidence they are usually harsher on them than they are cis women.

Props to TYT for correcting the record. We know Keffals/Sorrento is a total psycho and a liar (close to Rebekah Jones level), but many outlets would simply pretend they never promoted the story. Jesse Singal did a really great in-depth breakdown on Blocked and Reported a while back.
I understand you guys posted this to take responsibility, but this shit stank to high heaven since the beginning. Everybody that did this should be held accountable because if this has nothing to do with trans people, nobody would've cared as much. It's pretty gross, guys. That being said, good on you for owning it.
I haven't watched the Muta video yet, but it appears a lot of the information used here were things stated or done after the first story ran like the constant changing of Clara's story or the use of the money in question. Feels like we're asking for an action using facts that came after the action. They truly say hindsight is 20/20, but yet... there is still do dilligence that appears to be missed before doing the first story. Trying to be as objective as I can looking at this, and I think with Clara playing so many bigger news companies, its safe to say her true intentions weren't fully visible yet.
A left-leaning journalist taking responsibility and accountability? My opinion of you just changed. You just earned a viewer, Mrs. Kasparian. You showed more dignity than Ben Shapiro who was supposed to be a beacon for “freedom of speech” after firing Candace Owens.
I remember when Destiny said these things about keffals like 1 year ago and no one cared. He got banned for it on twitch and now since it's trendy to do this, everyone is doing this. Funny. But insanely fake.
@mrgamechanger97 a lot of people like this guy in particular are cowards. They hold beliefs that are "trendy" or "popular" because they have a need to feel accepted in these groups and then discard these beliefs whenever it's convenient and pretend they never believed otherwise. These people would've been slaves and content with it in the past.
It's crazy how much of the trans stuff has fallen apart in recent months... I'd say from around early October 2023. It's almost as if the people pushing it have had something else to concentrate on.

I never heard of "Kiwi Farms," tried Youtubing them to find that they're apparently not big enough to have their own dedicated channel? Are they some small time streamer that linked to this video, explaining the 42 upvotes at the time of this writing? This reads to me as, "So what you're saying is..... some streamer few of you have heard of was right?"
{Edit} Found out with a little more research that Kiwi Farms is a forum (that I've never heard of). And based on the characterization of its Wiki article, sounds like a community of e-thugs, many of whom probably belong in prison. No mystery why a major news organization wouldn't take them seriously.
@@PoochieCollins its a web forum
@@PoochieCollins "many of whom probably belong in prison"
For what, being mean on internet? Exposing pedos and animal abusers? This is why you shouldn't get all your "research" from a Wikipedia page written by troons.
This is what accountable journalism looks like
I’ll admit she’s gotten better at taking responsibility but to me the moment she starting deflecting and talking about other news networks and their faults showed me that she still has a long way to go.
If they wanted to be decent journalists they could have spent 10 minutes research keffals a year ago and never made the error in the first place. All the info was already out there
Credit to TYT for correcting.
This is why you don't put trust in people based on the "marginalized" groups they belong to. smh
Don't know how being a bigot will make things better
@@wastedproductions45 So instead we should just uncritically listen??? All these journalists that covered the story didnt even bother looking slighly into it and all this would have been caught as a lie.
@@wastedproductions45 It's not bigotry to call someone out on their lies just because they claim to be marginalized
It's crazy how pederast white males managed to make themselves "marginalised" with this one simple trick...
Honestly, MASSIVE respect for issuing this correction.
It's good to see TYT starting to take journalistic integrity more seriously recently. Ways to go still imo but massive improvements in the last year, for sure!
Huge props to y'all for eating the crow here. No mainstream outlet would've ever bothered to issue a redaction.
Anna: I know this was an uncomfortable conversation to have but it was necessary. Keep up the good work.
Never dreamed I'd watch a TYT video, but I saw the title in my suggestions and had to see this.
I CAN NOT believe this is actually on the TYT account and I'm about to put a like a TYT video. WTF?
Am I in bizzaro world?
Hey comments section, why Mutahar's piece was so damning is he didn't once undermine his own argument by being transphobic, he held her to the same standards as anyone else, like an equal (and at the end of the day, that's what most trans people want, to be treated like equals and living a normal life, like he said in the video). I think that's important to note because everyone blaming her for being trans and not for being a liar and a fraud are undermining your own arguments, which actually helps her avoid accountability. Being trans and/or a woman doesn't magically cause you to scam people.
@medaux537so basically just took Keffals opinion and accepted it? You will never know how manipulated you are. Muta literally predicted this in his video and provided numerous examples of keffals finding anything tphobic to avoid responsibility. She even tried to claim he misgendered her because he used 'they' a couple of times, then people showed her old tweet where she said her pronouns were she/they
@medaux537 if you watch the video you will see how much care was taken into the video, you're completely brain-rotted if you think that thumnail is made to be transphobic.
Keffals scammed 100k from money that was supposed to go towards advocacy for trans rights, why aren't you up in arms about that!? Keffals hurt trans people and the only transphobic thing you're worried about is a thumbnail... THINK MEDUAX THINK!!
@medaux537 People like you are the reason why the human race is on a progressive decline
@medaux537imagine not watching a video because of a thumbnail that hurt your little feelings
@medaux537 Did the thumbnail give you PTSD as well?
Keffals is deceptive?
If only there'd been some way to know she'd do that.
Some kind of sign...
you could say it was all... Destined to come out
The worst part about this is when a trans streamer does try a crowdfunding campaign for real, with good intentions, they’ll always be looked at with suspicion and accused of theft/lying no matter how much they show receipts. Keffals has really poisoned the well of discourse here and ruined it for everyone. Disgraceful.
Really???? The real victim isn't the owner and user of the website he slandered and got taken down illegally, or the people he scammed in his fundraiser, or all the other random people he's attacked, but TRANS PEOPLE? This is some real "Muslims are the real victims of 9/11" type shit.
1000% - great comment
Lmao, they already scammed each other with translifeline. Which some of the same people were involved in 😂😂😂 you people deserve it for being dumb
How are trans people the victims? The victims are the people he scammed, and the people on Kiwi Farms that he slandered.
Rehab is very expensive. 1/4 of the money went to rehab, another 1/4 went to the rent, 1/4 was buying new tech. Is it impossible for her to have spent $10k on drugs and another $10k on her “friends”?
Ana needs to start her own show and cut off the TYT burden. It would be a huge breakthrough for alt media.
It would be & she would get, important women politicians

People that follow these streamers are too separated from reality and can't see a scammer infront of them.
It's so surreal seeing Mutahar on TYT
This is what integrity in journalism looks like. Its hard to admit when we've been misled, & many dont ever revisit their work to make corrections
Omg you people are actually the dumbest folks that exist.
if they did ANYYYYY research,
they would have NEVER needed to record this video. You‘re proof that liberals are brain dead morons that blindly believe the media, how naive that you‘re praising them 💀
Kudos for having the integrity to call out Keffals and admit you were duped. There is transphobia in the world but she ain't it.
Just imagine if there was a person on the left who was pro trans who called her out at the time with facts and was called a transphobe fornit
The amount of people that blindly hopped aboard the Keffals bullshit train , is mind numbing.
Damn. Respect for the difficult correction.
Thank you for the update. It shows your integrity 👏
At least you admit your mistake
Anna is cleaning up the mess... Credit for that
Well I'll give TYT and Anna props for issuing a correction.
they should have had the good sense to just avoid the whole thing like the plague...
It's all just self-serving.. When they took Keffals side back then they did it because that was the popular side to take, now they are against her because it's already cemented that she's a vile person, this retraction or correction really means nothing when so much time has passed and everyone else already covered it.
I'm not a big TYT viewer, but I heard about this and after watching it I wanted to drop a comment. I respect you guys for correcting the record on this. Lord knows the vast majority of major outlets and YT channels won't do the same. Which is extremely problematic and shows a complete lack of journalistic integrity. Therefore, the very few who do correct the record deserve to be acknowledged and saluted for it. Kudos. 👍
Agreed. There are so many culture-war brained people who have become incapable of admitting a single fault "from their side" no matter how obvious, but will instead rationalize away any and all things the "other side" might gain from in the vaguest of ways. Zero principles, all cynical machiavellian schemes. It never works out for them. Sooner or later most people will realize that all those people believe in is "winning", and will say and do anything to accomplish that in the most short-sighted way possible.
Wow! This got all the way to TYT! This is wild. Anna and TYT keeping it real.
We’ve been telling you guys for years since your first platforming of her with no corrections. Interesting now you guys are actually addressing the troublesome issues she’s been doing. Props I guess. Better late than never
Let me guess, the rest at TYT didn't want to do this one, so the one person with integrity had to do it... Ana, leave these hacks, you'll be better off, trust me. It'll be just as much of an improvement for you as it was for Tucker Carlson. You'll probably get multiple times the views if you go to Twitter or start your own RUclips and do what you want to do, speak the honest truth you truly want to express...
You didn't promote her "unwittingly", you did so uncritically. 95% of this information has been a public knowledge for over a year, with wildly contradictory statements made by her during that media tour.
You're the type of person who's never happy
@@imacomputer101
The dust has already settled, all the damage, cloudflare's horrible decision, it's all already been done and over with and only NOW do we get the retraction with the facts that have been present since last year. How can people be happy with that?
It's like when massive storms destroy towns and cities and the help only comes a year later, yes help is always nice but a year after? It's not enough.
Yeah this is an insane take. It's like saying "You should have had a crystal ball and known that she was going to misuse the funds and condemned her appropriately" like dude all there were at the point was skeptics, not even all the crimes had been committed yet like what?
@grantmaybe
Wrong. Lots of info was out before the gofundme that pointed to possible concerns of ethics with Keffals. The DIY hormone directory where Keffels worked with individuals like Bob posting. The relentless amount of sus behavior in the "Catboy Ranch" discord Keffals ran and interactions with minors.
It not wrong to make obvious assumptions. Keffals has a large digital footprint that this is just the tip of the iceberg.
@TheXenoxen lmao you have a lot of time on your hands. You shoukd get into journalism 🙄. Let's report on facts instead of hunches...

Good for Anna here. You make a mistake in reporting, you correct it and not double down.
This is what journalists should do and it shows me that regardless of any disagreements I might have politically or whatever im general, Anna will do her best to find the truth and correct herself if she doesn't.
That to me is far more valuable and is worthy of my attention than some person I agree with 90% of the time who can't admit when they are wrong- which is inevitable at some point because we all jump to conclusions, make the wrong assumption, and often dismiss the message because of the messenger.
Keep on going Anna.
I hope they take her to court for fraud.
Hats off to you Anna. I am conservative and disagree with you alot, but respect your honesty and humility.
Are you an idiot? She said the original reporting happened years ago. This is nothing to do honesty and humility. All you have to do is look at the time of the video it’s over 16 minutes. It’s all about money.
@@Eric-oi5yj Ana is admitting she made a mistake and is being honest about it. That deserves respect. Stop trolling around and go do something productive. Maybe offer to help clean out your mom’s basement…you do live there after all.
@@larryc1616 The dude is spreading positivity and all you can do is attack and insult. This says so damn much, is shows so much projection.
@@Michael-kf7gm someone being honest does not deserve respect. I expect people to be honest. I guess you don’t. Pointing out someone’s dishonesty is not trolling. If they had of used the money that they raised in 2015 to put in basic reporters, maybe they wouldn’t have such an issue like this. She very clearly said that the story was in 2019. One think it was later than that, toodoing your job does not deserve respect. Doing your job is expected. If you call yourself a reporter then do your job as a reporter.
@@larryc1616 it looks to me like Ana uses a mirror every day. So obviously she can look at herself in one. Unless you’re telling me that TYT, uses all their funds for make up artist.
Almost everything in Mutahar's video was well-known to anyone who'd bothered to look. It just had to come from the mouth an a sufficiently popular brown person before you guys would acknowledge it. Kiwifarms did nothing wrong.

CORRECTION: You did not report the story "unwittingly." You promoted the story uncritically.
The real story was always out there, and as journalists, you should have investigated before buying fully into Keffals' account. Be better.
That is literally what they are owning here, most places do not even bother to retract mistakes.
The first step to being better is to see a problem
@@sharper68 will they do the same for every other story they end up getting wrong or resume their habit of just going radio silent on a topic once they're wrong about it, then moving on to another topic and never mentioning or engaging on the previous one again
@@sleeper_hit Maybe, I do not see them getting things any more wrong than any other media. Most reports get stories from a single source and often make the same mistakes.
If they were getting things wrong that I cared about I might be more concerned, as it stands it seems you are far more freaked out about it than I am.
@@sharper68 I'm just bothered that the rare time they aim for a PR good look is on a 'correction' to an irrelevant story, only because their name is tied to it and there are lawsuits that could resurface their old take on this. The obvious CYA shows there's no integrity here, just PR image moves. Their rhythm of going silent when they're wrong will resume.
@@sharper68 Are you actually this retarded?
They did ZERO prior investigation, this was all out on the internet but leftist retards never bother to actually check something.
They should have NEVER made that story in the first place. Owning up to your failure is the BAAAAAARE minimum.
And your blind support of this just proofs how braindead you are.
Most of this information has been available for years. But whenever people tried to speak up about, we were shouted down and called "transphobes". I hope this can be a learning experiecne for you and others who defended this fraud.
Man Anna is carrying reviving the credibility of this network brick by brick. Genuinely impressed by her renewed dedication to her work.
It is good to see. I wonder if she realised her dog will die in a few years and she really needs a kid to pour all that affection onto. It's almost like she cares what the world will look like in 20 years, instead of going around with her head in the clouds because nothing bad has happened to her personally, yet.
@@jbellfield guess the intrusive thoughts won this round.
For all of the disagreements we have, and they are many, this shows a lot of integrity. TYT has done the morally correct thing here and I applaud you; you have earned my respect here.
They are only doing this because it became a big story that they were a fraud. Many people knew kef was lying from the start
@@johnwhatever8000 You're not wrong but they could have said nothing just like the rest of them do.

Much respect for coming out and correcting the record. Just improves you credability a lot in my eyes
Good on TYT to call out the grifter keffals.
Respect for revising your coverage.
gotta respect TYT for calling themselves out on this.
Honestly, I think it's a little cowardly that they waited until everyone else realized it was true. They never thought to scrutinize it themselves even though they amplified the fundraising claims. These people self-identify as journalist and have a staff. Why on Earth do gaming RUclipsrs without a staff that don't purport to be journalists have to do the work. Don't get me wrong. Correcting. It is better than not correcting it, but pretty cowardly when you do it on a monetized video. They could have easily assigned a reporter to look into this for a couple days at any point in the last year or whatever. But at the time it would have been unpopular and scrutinized heavily if they did that. So yes they should distance themselves keffals .... But the way they did it is pretty weak.
Anna has integrity and it is the reason I've been watching TYT since I was a middle schooler.
thank you for taking the time to do corrections like this. not many in alt/indie media/news don't feel the need to do it.
I applaud you for admitting where your reporting was not accurate. It takes courage, and unfortunately, that's a rare thing these days.
Corrections ADD credibility.
Thank you.
It does not take courage, it takes integrity. Something that should not be applauded, because it is the *bare minimum* we should all expect.
I’m glad tyt has been making an effort lately to be more truthful, call out lies from major news sources, and even corrected their own stories
TYT and SOG crossover I never thought I would see.
Love news networks correcting themselves. Hate that people think this is a gender debate and not a conversation about fraud.
Glad you reported on this - decent thing to do. Anyone can be wrong but how we handle it is what counts - this is how you do it.
Just want to commend Ana on her humility and personal growth. You will get a lot of hate but you will win many new fans too, me included.
Wait...so she pulled a Jessie Smollett? 🤔

Great work guys, retractions should always be public so much respect to tyt
YO my boy Muta getting some credit on a large discussion platform.
All of this info has been available for over a year, the only reason you didn't cover it is because it was on KF. All Mutahar did was regurgitate it, a huge portion of the info was taken directly from the KF thread.
#1 I've followed US politics fairly closely for almost a decade, and I've never heard about Kiwi Farms before this video's comment section.
#2 Based on a skim of the Wikipedia article about the community, it sounds like "4Chan, but more criminal." No mystery why no major news organization would take them seriously.
@@PoochieCollins one of the foremost reasons that KF has been vilified in neoliberal tech circles is that KF has accurately reported on the misdeeds of Silicon Valley and (scammy) non-profit power brokers like Elliot "Liz" Fong-Jones, who've made it their life's mission to expunge the information and any platform that allows its publication from the Internet. tl;dr - the tiny autist-infested gossip forum with lassez faire moderation policies is not the bad guy here.
Kiwi Farms Wiki article is controlled by a rapist called Liz Fong Jones who is trying to get Kiwi Farms taken down to cover up his crimes.
I am genuinely surprised that you corrected it. We all warned you about her too lololol.
Thank you for correcting the record, Keffals is going to try to spin these videos as hit pieces and then cry about transphobia, but I'm glad the truth came out.
Seeing most of the attacks against her are usually transphobic, she has a reason.
Not like the left cares, they would be much happier with less Trans people in their audience anyway, it's no coincidence they are usually harsher on them than they are cis women.
Keffals sounds like a condition.
It is.

I haven't watched the Muta video yet, but it appears a lot of the information used here were things stated or done after the first story ran like the constant changing of Clara's story or the use of the money in question.
Feels like we're asking for an action using facts that came after the action. They truly say hindsight is 20/20, but yet... there is still do dilligence that appears to be missed before doing the first story. Trying to be as objective as I can looking at this, and I think with Clara playing so many bigger news companies, its safe to say her true intentions weren't fully visible yet.
@@NairuOnLifeKeffals was known to be a sketchy person even before then. It was difficult to criticize her without being called transphobic.

I remember when Destiny said these things about keffals like 1 year ago and no one cared. He got banned for it on twitch and now since it's trendy to do this, everyone is doing this. Funny. But insanely fake.
Maybe the difference is Destiny is a KiwiFarms fan and a bigot. That's why he got banned :)
@mrgamechanger97 a lot of people like this guy in particular are cowards. They hold beliefs that are "trendy" or "popular" because they have a need to feel accepted in these groups and then discard these beliefs whenever it's convenient and pretend they never believed otherwise. These people would've been slaves and content with it in the past.
It's crazy how much of the trans stuff has fallen apart in recent months... I'd say from around early October 2023. It's almost as if the people pushing it have had something else to concentrate on.
