There's a penalty on youtube.com stories by default, but we turned it off in this case because the allegation seemed prima facie interesting enough to let the community have a crack at it. Of course, it's highly politically charged and we normally don't want that stuff on the front page. But there was an intellectual-curiosity element to it as well.
That said, the community has had a crack at it, in votes, comments and flags, and the flags won. I don't see a reason to override that.
(By the way, it's on our list to display [flagged] on cases like the current story when the flags are this powerful. Hopefully that would have answered your question.)
