From Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C-SPANBrian Lamb, C-SPAN's chairman and CEO, conceived of C-SPAN while working at the Cablevision company. It was created as a cable-industry financed, non-profit network for televising sessions of the U.S. Congress. It receives no funding from any government source, has no contract with the government, and does not sell sponsorships or advertising. It strives for neutrality and a lack of bias in its public affairs coverage.

I'm wondering what the justification for yanking the YouTube links to the Colbert video was. There is copyrighted material
ALL OVER that website that has been there for months.
Obviously a Freeper-type complained and got the vids pulled. It seems to me that we have a strong argument for the Colbert footage to be public domain and subject to Fair Use.
