    The Markup found that news aggregators and commentators like Ohlala often omit information that would give the news cultural or historical context, and, in Ohlala’s case, her content is repackaged from right-wing organizations.

    I just checked out a few of her videos and can confirm she was spewing right-wing talking points. Older Vietnamese who went through the Vietnam War, like my parents, often gravitate towards conservative news sources even before YouTube channels like these blew up. It’s extremely frustrating trying to talk current events with them now.
