| 0:00.0 | Just about a month ago, a video went viral showing a bunch of kids standing near Native American men, |
| 0:05.0 | and immediately, the media ran the story that these kids were racist, were taunting, |
| 0:09.5 | were hate-filled, were mocking these Native Americans, and this became known as the Covington |
| 0:13.7 | scandal. The story is far from over. There's been announcements of lawsuits against personalities |
| 0:19.0 | and media companies, but now we have a major update. An independent investigation has |
| 0:23.7 | exonerated the kids of all wrongdoing. Now, I think many of us we didn't need an independent |
| 0:28.4 | investigation because we knew, but for some reason these organizations ran with these fake stories. |
| 0:34.4 | Strangely, the fake stories are still up. The fake tweets, they're all still up, |
| 0:39.2 | and with a lawsuit looming, I have to wonder why none of these news organizations have retracted |

| 1:02.1 | and brand that I'm launching. We've got a really great mini-dock about the yellow vest protests, |
| 1:06.4 | and we're setting up a distributed newsroom where you can get involved and just talk about news. |
| 1:10.9 | And if you want to support these videos that you're watching now, |
| 1:13.2 | simply share it to help spread the message. From Buzzfeed news, Covington Catholic students |
| 1:18.1 | won't be punished after investigators found no evidence of racist or offensive statements. |
| 1:23.4 | The diocese, which initially condemned the students, said they've been exonerated and can move |
| 1:28.0 | forward their lives. I want to point out really quickly I'm using Buzzfeed news as a source on |
| 1:32.1 | purpose because they were one of the outlets that pushed the fake news in the first place. |
| 1:36.4 | They say, weeks after videos went viral of a group of MAGAHAT wearing teenage boys from a |
