Fox pulled Clinton/Wallace clips on youtube, but left 1,507 others!!!
Fox required youtube.com to pull the Clinton/Wallace clips because of copyright infringement. If you click on any of the links, the following message will appear in red:
This video has been removed at the request of copyright owner Fox News Network, LLC because its content was used without permission.

However, search for "Fox News" and you will find 1,507 other clips that they've left on youtube! So, which is it Fox? Do you allow your clips to be put on youtube or not? Take 'em all down or leave 'em all up if you really aren't biased.

And, what about youtube? Shouldn't they just delete the 1,507 others and not leave those up there?
What does everyone else think?

2. If YouTube is gonna wimp out to republican threats
they may as well just give up entirely.

Who the hell wants to patronize a BRAND that stands for nothing.

7. They don't want those milllions of hits a day going somewhere other than
Fox. It's as simple as that.

10. I am too, but i give them a little slack
Edited on Tue Sep-26-06 03:10 PM by lies and propaganda
because they barely just began to exist. They probably need a little time, and unfortunately some fucking with, to grow a pair.

edited because 'oo' isnt a word in any language ;0

4. They should delete ALL the Fox "news" clips and ban ALL future Fox "news"
...clips. They'll be begging for the clips to be put back within a week.

Fox Sucks!:mad:

5. K & R
I also was watching or trying to get a good full video of the Wallace/Clinton interview.

I went to youtube.com and the top discussed entry was "Bill Clinton blames others for 9-11".. I went and watched it. Thought the name seemed rather partisan.. So I searched for most viewed for the day. Down the list was "Clinton smacksdown Fox News" Part 1 and 2, or something close to that. When I clicked on Part 1 to view it, it said basically that FOX NEWS had forced youtube.com to pull it. After venturing around, I noticed that any similar length interview with Clinton/Wallace that was repuke-named was fine... those that were pro Clinton had the copyright statement. Coinky Dink?? DON'T THINK SO....

6. Maybe Youtube asked them to after the comments were viewed 1,000,000 times
I have never seen a more viewed page in one day in my entire life.
