welcome back in today's video we're gonna be talking about Chris Hansen and
the way he's been handling Leonie so investigation I've seen comments where
people are concerned is he doing this right is he putting people in danger
I've looked into it and I feel like I have enough here to have a little bit of
a conversation I think it's gonna be a little bit short of a video but that's
okay because the information weight information changes situations that's
right so most recently we've talked about video footage that was released
where an EC on had called the law on Chris Hansen and a lot of people were
very excited about this this is the first time we've seen somebody so
aggressively going after this doing something trying to make a change but
then there was another part of the aspect where people were like wait a
minute there's kids there he's putting these people in danger he was videoing
the outside of his of Greg's house is that not dog saying I guess the first
point the first place to start is is doxing illegal daxing is an illegal act
in the US if it's used to harass intimidate someone to any extent
according to law firm Brickfield and Donohue for these purposes it's
irrelevant if the information is publicly available or not when a person
is doxed for any other reason if the docs are used illegal methods of
obtaining private information it also becomes illegal one article talks about
interest some differences between daxing and reporting for one most daxing is
done by anonymous agents reporters have by lines and can therefore be held
accountable ethically legally and financially for the words they write and
the repercussions those words have reporters announce their intentions and
their profession openly while doctors could be anybody
reporters include only personal information that is relevant to a story
facts the public has a compelling interest in knowing so pretty much
that's the main difference between journalism and Chris Hansen's been doing
this for decades and he's got a lot of experience in it but what I'm thinking
is that it's so new to bring to the YouTube realm it's like there's a
difference like in rules and guidelines that the
Internet has that the YouTube viewers have and I think this is like I said the
unknown I think it's new I think it's something
that's yet to be experienced on this level but it's pretty common in other
realms of mysticism Society I made a tweet earlier today that says some
people question Chris Hamptons antics Deering is an essay on investigation
this type of journalism can put you on the frontlines of difficult situations
I think it's crossing into the YouTube realm that's scary people just haven't
seen this before it's the unknown and I asked for your thoughts one person said
some of the people outraged must not have been alive or old enough when he
hosted the TV show to catch a predator for those of you that don't know or have
not heard of to catch a predator it was a show that aired on Dateline NBC and it
was hosted by Chris Hanson where he caught would-be predators and prevented
him from doing some awful things one user says this is bringing you tubes and
the Internet as a holes largest problem into the limelight another one saying
honestly I don't think it's cool only because the YouTube world is all about
pitchforks and mob mentality even if a nice eon is totally in the wrong it
could get into a very dangerous territory other person saying it's quite
normal in journalism outside of YouTube that's what I've been hearing so let's
check out exactly what investigative journalism entails one article says that
while definitions of investigative reporting vary among professional
journalism groups there is a broad agreement of its major components
systematic in-depth and original research and reporting often involving
the unearthing of secrets others note that it's practice often involves heavy
use of public records and data with a focus on social justice and
accountability which can be seen most recently where he's unearthed some of
the secrets that the public they want to know what's been going on inside that
house we'll find out more in the days to come
Chris Hansen has been doing this for decades here's a 1990 photo of him and
Jim crawl approaching a suspect at their home so hopefully at this point this
gives you a little bit more information about what Chris actually does as a
journalist and what his main priorities are and you can let me know in the
comment section do you agree with this do you don't like this it's a whole
conversation but there are some things that I am concerned with and that's like
mainly the security of his inside circle some major things have been leaked and
there's a lot of controversy that's been going on as of recent now over on the
represent whitter I tweeted two things that were leaked it was the video of him
showing up at a Nissan's house during the investigation and the police files
and police reports of even as far as the call and also I found the actual 9-1-1
telephone call that Chris Hansen did eventually release but I obtained this
information even before he released it because it was leaked now there were
some people that were speculating who this could have been and it ties into a
little bit of other under-the-table controversy that's been going on behind
the scenes so as you can see here this is the video that was leaked and you can
tell this is a Google Hangouts call with a couple people of Chris's inside circle
now one person named Vince Nicole Trey I think I believe that I'm sorry if I
mispronounced that he's been a topic of interest to the community but causes
some things from the past involving what about the Tcat community but there's a
lot of layers to this but I'm told that it itself includes daxing harassment and
other things like that it would be very very bad if these things were true here
are some more comments about concerns and reasoning coming from both sides
he's not the effing police I don't know why people think this is changing
anything this is too far there are kids in the house in my opinion it was a step
too far a nice one clearly does not want to speak to him and is under no
obligation to if there are still kids in that house let the FBI and appropriate
services deal with it now a journalist first and foremost he's
been doing this for years every journalist does this and many are
forgetting that part to minimalizing his previous work because he's on YouTube
now which makes no difference in his credentials I don't think it's any
different to what he's done previously on TV but because YouTube is so great
with the rules it is kind of hard to tell what's allowed and what's not in
YouTube journalism that's also an interesting point is there a fine line
there or is there a completely new element of YouTube journalism versus
real investigative journalism is it a new label altogether I think we've
talked about enough to have some really good conversations to go on in the
comments section below but as interesting as this is there's
also this more interest to me that's right you guessed I want to know what
you think so I should go ahead leave you creative or interesting responses in the
comment box below there's always brothers and sisters I
will see you in the next video there's a lot of different avenues this could
break off into with the Vincent stuff and if they do have someone that is
leaking information on the inside I don't see that as a good for Chris
Hansen's work it could complicate and endanger investigations that he has
ongoing especially if this person is is Daxing and doing different things like
that but other than that I'm trying to build up my Facebook I'm gonna start
doing more live streams a test at a live stream last night but I am NOT good at
it I can't for the life of me figure out how to do live streams on Facebook head
over to facebook.com forward slash the dot retina I do release some other
behind the scenes content over there but what I want to mainly use this for is
talking to you guys more and getting some more in-depth information out there
and maybe just some new things along the way but what I'm gonna do is if you guys
want to talk to me DM me over there please follow we're
currently at like 1.5 thousand I'm trying to get to 10,000 because I want
to get like like a verification on there if it's possible
yeah currently at a 1559 people who liked the page 1638
people who follow this I really don't know what the difference is from liking
and following but go over there and do both hit me up in the DM z-- if you have
any suggestions or anything like that I will be replying to everyone who reaches
out over there which is a big deal for me since I've disabled public DMS on
most of my social media because it's a like watering the garden mentally you
can't you can't keep up with everything all the time so you try to just cut off
certain avenues cut off different things that way you have the proper attention
to the proper things I hope that makes any sense at all but do me a favor also
a good way to support the channel is by getting the official rep squad mug that
where's that right here and it's it's it smells and tastes like pizza so that's
just a really cool thing there and yeah it's another way to show that you're
getting and if you're not ripping your Gregan hey do that I'll go to subscribe
a notifications from be in the comment section for every single video cuz I'm
gonna be there Greg the cat's gonna be there and the rest of the reptile
community as well I expect to see there too cuz this channel loves you
