How can I filter out all MSM media from YouTube video feed? Is there an app or an extension?

So you can go all in on conspiracies?

See it the other way around ... it's for the peace of mind not to get the every day world wide chaos pumped in your brain even on Youtube when you just want to be distracted by some nice dog or cat content.

There are non-"mainstream" sources which are highly factual and not editorialized. See AP and Reuters. Sadly, their reports are commonly resummarized in a biased/slanted way and used by the MSM. When you see a "Reuters reports that" or "According to a report by the AP", skip the MSM and go directly to the sources.

This is kind of a bizarre summary; I'd consider AP and Reuters to be the mainest possible stream of media.

You don't know the difference between conspiracies and conspiracy theories, and you think you can tell when you're being fed a false line?

As part of your recommendations blob? You can click the vertical ... on a video and click "Don't recommend channel"

The "Breaking News" sections that show up sometimes you could probably zap with uBlock Origin.

Google has clearly made a deal with the devil. I never got thus much Murdoch content before.

If you click on even one they start sending you more and more.
