VIDEO I had originally intended to put together a compilation of liberal reactions to Senator Kirsten Sinema ditching the Democrats. However, I changed gears when I began doing a YouTube search for such videos. What came up on the search results filtered for the past day was an OCEAN of nothing but liberal outlets with a couple of obligatory Fox News videos tossed in there in order to give YouTube the lame excuse that their search results are not biased because of the inclusion of Fox News. I hope the new Congress will look into the scandal of YouTube presenting...

Back in the day, when I was managing editor at the Daily Inter Lake in Kalispell, Mont., I enjoyed the end-of-year ritual of voting in the Associated Press’s poll of the Top 10 news stories.When I started participating in the year 2000, my list would include many of the same stories that made the final AP list, although often with differences in ranking. But by the time I retired in 2018, my view of the news had sharply diverged from the AP’s consensus view. I’d become something of a gadfly by then, questioning what seemed to be an ever more...

A fake video that shows a likeness of President Trump murdering journalists, condemned Monday by the White House, does not violate YouTube's rules. According to the Google-owned video platform, some content that does not violate the company's rules may still be inappropriate for some audiences. In those cases, age restrictions can be applied. "For content containing violence that is clearly fictional, we age-restrict and display a warning interstitial. We applied these protections to this video," the YouTube spokesperson told Fox News on Monday.

August 7, 2019 (NewsBusters) — The left has no problem with hiding behind activist teenagers, but will scapegoat a right-wing one if she criticizes them. YouTube, Google's sister company, deplatformed a 14-year-old conservative girl after she made a video criticizing Pride Month. Her channel has been completely banned from YouTube. Soph, known on Twitter as @sewernugget, has been penalized by YouTube previously with suspension for "dangerous" humor and poking fun at leftist orthodoxy. With approximately 1 million subscribers before she was shut down, she rose to fame for poking fun at topics such as radical Islam, climate change, and pedophilia...

YouTube has now de-monetized ALL videos by Paul Joseph Watson. As a fig-leaf to political motives, YouTube took this measure at the same time they also de-monetized all videos by Louis Farrakhan. PJW joins a long line of YouTube creators having fallen out of favor, like Milo Yiannopoulis, Steven Crowder and an Austin-based broadcaster and advocate of traditional sex roles for amphibians (who cannot be named, per FreeRepublic rules). Because such YouTube creators played significant roles in getting Donald Trump elected, there is speculation this measure has been taken in preparation for the 2020 elections. Such measures would cut into...

"You can see the lengths they go to silence us all. They're not just censoring me. they're censoring you. They're censoring you from the ability to make up your own mind whether you agree with me or not...." TOMMY ROBINSON 'YOU TUBE' VIDEO AFTER HIS REMOVAL FROM FACEBOOK AND INSTAGRAM 2/27/2019 "....high-level pressure is growing for the official adoption of this definition of something called 'Islamophobia' in this country...Once they can get the police to accept this, then any criticisms of Islam will become risky, quite possibly a 'hate crime'. This is absurd. Islam is a set of political opinions,...

YouTube Shows Dennis Prager's Claim Of Discrimination Against Conservatives Is Laughable You will recall that Dennis Prager, the conservative commentator who also runs a YouTube channel to inform his viewers of his perspective on a variety of topics, recently sued YouTube. The meat of Prager's claims is that YouTube is censoring some of his videos purely because he is a conservative -- with the clear implication being that YouTube is a liberal bastion of conservative-hating video hosting. Just to be clear, there is no real evidence for that. What there is evidence for is that YouTube is trying very hard...

The internet has provided tools to improve the world that are, in a way, indescribable. For example, understanding the multitude of medical challenges people face becomes easier with the internet. Improving your language skills and understanding a foreign language is infinitely simpler. But there are severe challenges that come with the ease of the internet. Google and others cannot go unchallenged. This all began as something to explore for me when within a month I had a chance to spend an extended period of time with two different biochemists on two different continents. Both of these men are utterly brilliant...

Stand up to the progressive left-guided mainstream and social media, by keeping on going to the videos and news sites of your choice One by one, they’re turning the lights off on the Internet. Not long ago the promised Information Highway for everyone, the World Wide Web is fast transforming over to the Misinformation Highway. An all-powerful Google is now flat-out dictating which videos you will be able to see. A pious Facebook the judge and jury of which topics will be permitted to trend

Lee Stranahan is an American journalist and talk radio host. Lee has a long history of reporting in depth investigations on subjects like the violent #Occupy movement, immigration and radical Islam for Breitbart.com and Sputnik News.   This morning Lee Stranahan had his YouTube Channel taken down for his videos discussing radical Islam. Lee had over 1,000 videos posted over the last 10 years. Lee wrote The Gateway Pundit about this development. Via Lee Stranahan: Despite avoiding the catastrophe of a Hillary Clinton victory, we live in perilous times. When I was the lead investigative journalist at Breitbart News, I...

One of the many maddening takeaways from the London Bridge jihad attack is this: If you post videos on YouTube radicalizing Muslim viewers to kill innocent people, YouTube will leave you alone. But if you post a video on YouTube honoring innocent people murdered by barbaric jihadists, your video will get banned. I know. It happened to me in 2006. Eleven years later, the selective censors at Google-YouTube still can't competently distinguish terrorist hate speech from political free speech. Islamic hate preachers such as Ahmad Musa Jibril, whose bloodthirsty rants against non-Muslims reportedly inspired the London Bridge ringleader, have flourished....

According to G4T, a major player in the YouTube community, all the the suspected Conspiracy Theories aimed towards YouTube have proven to be true. George4Title came onto the YouTube scene some time ago and created many blockbuster videos, the result of which was a personal invitation to the corporate headquarters earlier on in 2010 to discuss his new partnership offer and how to better position his content. G4T reluctantly went to the corporate office against the advice of his friends. Many observations and insights into YouTube’s back office were made by George4Title (G4T) that day and from conversations with staff since that...

YouTube is assisting Al "Eco-Prophet" Gore throw a Hail Mary pass to the growing segment of Americans who are "deniers" of the earth's "climate crisis." This time, Gore and his organization, the Alliance for Climate Protection, has issued a call-to-arms for young hipsters to make a video about climate change for a YouTube Video Volunteer contest. "[A]s we celebrate our 40th Anniversary of Earth Day, we need action on all fronts," Gore said on the weekend YouTube sermon. "We need to build on our individual and family commitments and use this historic moment facing our nation to make a difference...

I thought I'd post another "connect the dots" piece -- YouTube IS the #1 hosting service for terrorist and terrorist sympathizing websites.  A quick perusal of various sites shows that most videos that are embedded on their sites are hosted at YouTube, with a smattering of LiveLeak and a few others.  Here's an example of a YouTube video being embedded at several terrorist sites.  I started here:I'll save you from having to watch the whole thing -- it's loaded with emotionally charged images, interspersed with a script that goes thru 19th century history (not sure of the veracity of all...

... The indictment said that in mid-2008, Ms. LaRose, using the aliases JihadJane and Fatima LaRose, began posting on YouTube and other Internet sites messages about her desire to help Muslims. A MySpace profile for a woman who refers to herself as JihadJane displays pictures of bloodshed and violence in the Middle East scrawled with messages like “Palestine We Are With You” and “Sympathize With Gaza.” ... The indictment refers to e-mail messages in which a conspirator, citing how Ms. LaRose’s appearance and American passport would make it easier for her to operate undetected, allegedly directed her in March 2009...

WATCH THE VIDEO BEFORE CAIR GETS IT PULLED BACKGROUND ARTICLEMUHAMMAD, AISHA, ISLAM, AND CHILD BRIDES by Silas NOTE I needed to edit and correct this article because I’ve learned some new details. Initially, I believed what many Muslims asserted: Muhammad sexually consummated his marriage to the nine year old Aisha following her first menstruation. HOWEVER, after reading brother Sam Shamoun’s articles (1, 2), I realized that the Quran, the Hadith, and Muslim scholar’s writings state that a Muslim husband can engage in sex with a child-bride before she has her first menses. Further, Muhammad actually did just this –...

This video linked here contains 13 sniper shots upon coalition forces.   Specifically at:   :24 1:21 1:50 2:45 3:23 3:47 4:26 5:03 5:28 6:44 7:20 7:45 8:05 There are several other instances where it appears that there may have been a sniper shot, but it's not so clear as the 13 listed above.   Some will say that we can't tell what this video is really saying because we can't translate from Arabic, etc.  The terrorist symbol in the upper left, coupled with the superimposed image of former President Bush over flag draped coffins leaves little to translate.  This...

I have noticed a few comments on the YouTube site attached to the protest videos that are saying YouTube has stopped the "hit-counters" of the protest videos and marked all of the with a "Thumbs-Down." Anyone notice if this is true? Has YouTube altered the view counters? Are they marking the protest videos with Thumbs-Down? Something else to watch.

By now you're likely one of 1.5 million people who have seen the graphic video of Neda Soltan dying after being shot in the chest on June 20, 2009, during protests in Iran following the presidential election. The video shows Neda collapsing into the arms of two men, who try to stop her bleeding with their bare hands. Suddenly, Neda's eyes roll up and to the right, almost as if they are looking at the cell phone video camera chronicling her death. Blood begins pouring from her mouth and nose, into one eye and down her face. Cries erupt from...
