    Doesn't work for me. I wish it did.

    @M. Smith Hey, STFU. Now if America only had a cuck-blocker. Only a pathetic worm would side with the establishment (either side). To have a complete meltdown over it? Lowest lifeform. Even if MSM wasn't completely ghey I still don't want them elbowing their way onto YouTube. They didn't take the internet future serious, so they missed the train. It use to be YOUtube anyhow, so we could get away from you self-absorbed lemmings. Tired of these control freaks and their little soft cheerleaders. GTFO of America. No really.

    Worthless app. I am still getting AP, TYT, Majority report, Daily Mail, Piers Morgan and many other MSM in my search results.
