YouTube hit the front page of The New York Times this week.
Michael Buckley, host of “What the Buck?”, was described as making over $100,000 per year from his YouTube entertainment variety show.
The article was fun to read but left me wondering:

Sir
that front page story by Brian Stelter from Maryland journo school, shades of jason Blair?, just joking, is that story a faked story. ? Just asking. did the editors of the NYTimes check to make sure Buckley REALLY has pauyments of 20,000 bucks a month, 100,000 bucks a year, in his bank account. did they see the receipts. I smell a rat here. i think this story was a highly embellished faked story…show me the money receipts…..i say
I wrote to the times and they are looking into this now
don’t be fooled by novice reporters doing front page stories. i might be wrong. i often am. but check it out first…
