He shouted out 28(!) smaller channels. 1 of the 28 he recommended for its essay about Death Note. That's why it was being promoted. He didn't realize the channel contained anything anti-semitic or otherwise. Once that was pointed out, he removed the shoutout from his video.

The journalists in question are not reporting the nuance and context in their rush to burn the witch.

He's suggesting that, but it is extremely unlikely that he didn't know.

Sounds like the journalists are doing their job.
