The clips lack context, lack analysis, lack everything needed to inform. They just feed whatever bias the viewer already had.
I don't see how any of that applies to a clip from a Biden rally. It's just Biden rambling incoherently for 30 min. The clip I posted is him saying relating to the crime bill 'doing crack isn't the same thing as people doing cocaine in a nice neighborhood like this' as he is surrounded by white people. It's not viral, there's no reason to believe it's manipulated, there's no commentary. It's completely along the lines of what he always says about the crime bill, which is that it was great and still is great.
Most of the videos in the police brutality thread I keep promoting are there because they show up on social media first. Usually a day or two later a news outlet will report on the incident, which is then added and linked to the thread. When investigations are opened, there will be links posted to the thread.
Twitter is simply the most useful aggregator for news as it's going on.
