Hank hasn't been in charge at scishow for a while. When he is on scishow now, his job is read and present an article written by someone else. The fact checking and editorializing was done before he arrived for shooting the video. He also has publicly said it's not his place to jump back into that company and grab back power he has given up. Being mad at Hank for the knitting thing is insane if you are familiar with how scishow works.
They don't have him reading scripts at random. He's Hank "Creator of Sci Show" Green. He lends an air of credibility to the channel, and the fact that they got their story about knitting so incredibly wrong damages the credibility of both him and the channel.
I don't disagree with that. I just disagree with the placement of the outrage.
