It could have been shown on PBS.
The problem with Sheryl Attkisson is she thinks journalists are supposed to investigate and report on stuff. Just reprint those canned news pieces the government send you, Sheryl. *Sheeh*, how hard is that to remember!
“..just like Amazon pulled all Confederate flag merchandise,..”
Actually there is quite a bit of Confederate flag merch available on Amazon, including actual Confederate flags
I apologize. What I posted did not come out as I wanted. What I meant was it is ILLEGAL for the government to censor.
“Censorship by the government is unconstitutional.”

“My Millienal child, who relies on news feeds on her smart phone, knew absolutely NOTHING about the Planned Parenthood videos OR Hillary’s email problems until ol’ Dad, the AM talk radio throwback, TOLD her about them.”
BAKE THE DAMN CAKE.
So much for the right of private business to decide who gets to post their stuff on YouTube.
I dispute this assertion. Youtube has become a defacto medium in the manner of the RF Spectrum. It should be handled in the same manner, i.e. regulated and maintained open access to all users. It has achieved the status of a public resource, and it should be administered in the same manner as is normal for all other public resources.
Yes, it exists in a virtual world, but that does not begin to address the fact that it has become a universal means of communicating with other people.
Google was cooperating with the ChiCom Great Firewall long before they cooperated with the NSA.
You Tube is now owned by google.
No doubt and the Left Wing Media have abandoned any pretense of presenting facts or provide a balanced view. All why I haven’t watched network news for 15 years and don’t use Facebook or Twitter. I’ll add Google to the list.
Liveleak awaits!
Best suggestion I've seen so far. Point out how Nazi like Google is on National Television.
Since the feds have not been able to censor the Internet, looks like they have convinced their toadies at Google and Twitter to do the censoring for them.
It's cute how you think that there is a difference between Google and this current corrupt government.
Not surprising at all. Google/Youtube is full lefty.
Seems to me that if one was interested in a Sharyl Attkisson story they’d go to her website. She can host her own videos. The only dif is Youtubes ad kickback.
And who would do this, the government? My statement is an assertion supported by law.
Should your suggestion be written into law, the effect will be the opposite of intended, the government would shut down anyone disagreeing with them.
Sharyl, set up your own video channel/server.
At the very least. Equality of access needs to be enforced by law. The fact that Google owns the servers is irrelevant to the fact that this IS a communications medium, and as such, each citizens rights to use it should be protected.
My statement is an assertion supported by law.
So was slavery, but laws reflect the consent of the governed, and this effort at Censorship by Google is also subject to the will of the people.
Should your suggestion be written into law, the effect will be the opposite of intended, the government would shut down anyone disagreeing with them.
Unlike how it is now? Seriously?
No, there are no government regulations regarding content of speech. There can be no such regulations so long as the first amendment exists.
They cannot regulate speech in the newspapers or the airwaves, so they won't be able to regulate speech in this media either.
At this point, the Government is tasked with ensuring equal access to the means of communications, not subjective content policing.

Ping!
Want on or off this ping list? Just drop me a FReep mail.

Good news! Sharyl is now hosting a 30 minute Sunday morning talk show on the Sinclair network. Info.
