Come help shine the light of truth into QubeTV - the supposed rw alternative to youtube.

The claim is that youtube is censoring rw viewpoints so they have set up an alternate video hosting community. LOL! I've registered and posted some contrarian comments and videos --- haven't been banned so far. http://www.qubetv.tv/

1. Woo, the link just blew out my computer monitor

:argh: :hurts:

2. LOL! I know. It ain't pretty.

But it could be fun...to "piss in their punchbowl" so to speak.

3. Notice the big attention getting banner near the top of the page?

It says

Michelle Malkin's "First, They Came"
Banned by YouTube.

This isn't even true. It's currently on YouTube at least twice:

Both of these were posted in October of last year and they are still there. One of them even has an added opening which claims that it's been banned from YouTube repeatedly, yet it's been there over 5 months.

This whole site is just another example of right-wing false outrage. In this case their claims aren't simply disingenuous, they're outright false!

4. Persecution complex

Why can't these guys just have their little "all conservative" outlets like Fox, Conservapedia and Qtube and just admit that they are strictly from a conservative point of view. No one is banning these videos, as you pointed out. One of the comments also claimed that the anti-Albright Zucker video had been banned from Youtube but here it is.

Always the victims....

5. I call it "manufactured outrage".

The people who originate most of these claims of censorship and persecution know that they're not true. They just do it to keep their base feeling angry and persecuted. Limbaugh and O'Reilly are the kings of this. Unfortunately it often works because people are too lazy too check out the claims themselves.

6. There is one SMALL shred of truth in what they're saying

If they're alerted to it, YouTube bans ANY video that isn't PRO illegal immigration. I've seen it happen over and over, because the radical Mexican hate groups make it a point to flag these videos until they're banned.

Aside from that, I've never seen any right-wing point of view banned from YouTube, unless it violated copyright laws.

7. Are you sure about that?

That's a pretty strong statement. How would you monitor this to know that it's true? There might be some on there that you just haven't seen.

What are "radical Mexican hate groups"? Why would a hate group be pro illegal immigration? Why would they spend all of that time monitoring YouTube?

Why would YouTube ban such videos? Do they automatically ban all flagged videos simply because they're flagged?

9. What's a radical Mexican hate group?

8. OMG How stupid!

Watch this

Looks like they are mad because someone made a film and is demanding that PBS air it?

So does that mean I should be able to send my shitty home movies to PBS and expect them to be aired?
