MOD RECAP:
WSJ journalist posted images of racist video with ads.
Ethan (H3H3) made a video saying those images are photo shopped, showing a screencap of the income on the video from the uploader which showed no income in that period, making the conclusion no ads could have been showed and the WSJ is lying.
Ethan was wrong. Turns out the video was copyright claimed, so ads have been running on it, but the income just didn't go to the uploader.

The Wall Street Journal's response
The Wall Street Journal stands by its March 24th report that major brand advertisements were running alongside objectionable videos on YouTube. Any claim that the related screenshots or any other reporting was in any way fabricated or doctored is outrageous and false. The screenshots related to the article -- which represent only some of those that were found -- were captured on March 23rd and March 24th.
