aiming at destroying people who expose the truth about this administration lately and a bunch of far right wingers are taking over a lot of the Expose posts that go up and it seems to be changing before our eyes. Have a look at the Reed post as well as many others. It is beginning to look like the fix is in at Utube and the freepers out in force. On many posts it only takes a few to give a post bad ratings especially when even the dems here are not voting and commenting on our issues on Utube. We need to fight them there or we will be fighting them here. If you know what I mean

11. Indeed, the video of Jon Stewart making a fool of Tweety was removed in just a few hours. |

21. CC takes them down when they come to their attention. |

You COULD do 'der Google' before you obliquely accuse me of lying. Here, I'll do it for you: http://www.newscloud.com/read/75528For a long time, Comedy Central has passively allowed the sharing of online clips of its shows—because let’s face it, it’s helped them generate the kind of water cooler talk that has made them a ton of money. In this Wired Interview , Jon Stewart and Daily Show Executive Producer even encouraged viewers to watch the show on the Internet:
Karlin: If people want to take the show in various forms, I’d say go. But when you’re a part of something successful and meaningful, the rule book says don’t try to analyze it too much or dissect it. You shouldn’t say: “I really want to know what fans think. I really want to understand how people are digesting our show.” Because that is one of those things that you truly have no control over. The one thing that you have control over is the content of the show. But how people are reacting to it, how it’s being shared, how it’s being discussed, all that other stuff, is absolutely beyond your ability to control.
Stewart: I’m surprised people don’t have cables coming out of their asses, because that’s going to be a new thing. You’re just going to get it directly fed into you. I look at systems like the Internet as a convenience. I look at it as the same as cable or anything else. Everything is geared toward more individualized consumption. Getting it off the Internet is no different than getting it off TV.
But apparently, all good things come to an end when there is money and attorneys involved. I assume the only online clips that will remain will have to qualify under fair use – probably short clips, with social or political importance.
With Google purchasing YouTube, ComedyCentral figured there was now an opportunity aka profit center to target. And they’ve assumably made these DMCA requests to YouTube.

And The YouTube Purge Begins, Starting With Comedy Central New York Times | YouTube | Posted Monday October 30, 2006 at 08:15 AM
The New York Times reports today that, in prepartion for the giant Google takeover (maybe you heard about it?), YouTube has started purging clips. This time, though, it's clips we actually care about: The beloved Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert clips that whip around the internet on blogs and rack up thousands of views daily. The Times reports that Comedy Central finally got around to sending YouTube a cease and desist letter (the kind that NBC got used to sending after "Lazy Sunday" broke).
From the Times:
The situation is tricky for a network like Comedy Central, part of Viacom. Its audience is young and technologically sophisticated, and Comedy Central stars in the past have used YouTube and clip services to interact with their audience.
No kidding. The Times cites the obvious in Colbert's White House Correspondents Dinner, which caught fire on YouTube before C-Span had it removed (though its still easy to find on the site, for example here).
It's an interesting move on the part of Comedy Central, which has seemed to turn a blinde eye until now, to their benefit: Not everyone gets cable, or is home to see every show religiously in the 11 - 12am block. YouTube highlights are wildly popular the next day (almost always cracking the HuffPo's top five news stories), and such clips are popular with random procrastinating surfers as well (which ETP can confirm anecdotally). But the videos are available on Comedy Central's own site, which is fairly user friendly (though not as user friendly as YouTube), and it is only natural that it would want users to go there (recently, it even took out ads on HuffPo in the house style, directing readers to specifc clips).

25. No prob. I think CC are being jerks, myself. I could see their point if their site |
|
was more user friendly, and if their video ran smoothly, and not choppy, shitty and small like it so often does.
If they could give us YOUTUBE quality on their site, we might be happy to go there, even if it is a click away from YouTube. But their mechanics just stink!

health care for so many children on lazy people who won't get their butts up and go get a job.
I can't believe that in this day and age there are people who actually spout that ignorant crapola.
I'm beginning to think of them as subhumans. No knowledge. No intelligence. No compassion. No humanity. Just bullshit idiot ideology.

... or perhaps the kids should have their OWN photo op press conference, telling an (absent) politician what they deserve.

22. I don't think its smart using children for political purposes |
|
I agree with the message but I think using children for political gain is low, and if the other side does it, so much the better, let them look like the rats that they are, but we shouldn't do it.

No more photo ops, indeed, until they REALLY take care of the children.
