YouTube and Politics

[audtatious]

With the capability to record anything and post it up for all to see, YouTube is always an interesting place to visit to see what people really stated. From a political aspect it is also a great tool to show what politicians actually said during an interview which allows you to compare to further remarks, etc.

YouTube has gotten interesting as of late as NBC, Time Warner and others are demanding that copyright vids or copies of shows be removed. Of interest today is the Saturday Night Live skit they had recently concerning the bailout (bush, Soro's, pelosi and frank) in which the Dems are blaming everything on the Bush Admin and makes the Dems look stupid. NBC has had all of the videos removed from YouTube and all new ones are being removed as they are added. They have also removed that particular video off of their website as well. http://www.breitbart.tv/?p=189963

Here is a link to the vid on another site:http://msunderestimated.com/SNLBailoutSkit.wmv

Why is this interesting? Because only this Soros/Democrat video is being targeted. Every Sarah Palin SNL video is still up.

Weird or something else?

Nothing weird about it. The MSM chooses our President. That's how it is here in America.

Yeah, I thought the clip was funny, then when I went to NBC and Hulu to find it, it was "no longer available."

Malkin is reporting on it at this point.

The whole episode was actually pretty funny, especially the Lawrence Welk skit.

Something else. SNL had subtitled the Sandlers as "people who should be shot", which is a bit extreme. They reworked the subtitle, and it's back on the net.

I think I'm going to start investing in tinfoil.

So, what they show on public TV is not proper to show on YouTube?

It's good they put it back up but one must wonder if they would have done so had people not pointed it out and made a stink over it.

[ishkabibble]

Well, it is a live show that is written with a short turnaround.

Not defending them, just analyzing.

6:1 1/2-dozen of another, it can be spun each way with nobody proven right nor wrong other than the fact that it was pulled
