unfair, and equilibrium-challenged.
According to liberal bloggers they are. Fox News is reportedly pulling the plug on selective clips provided by the News1News Channel, a progressive news channel on YouTube. YouTube has now shut News1News down, effectively blocking a pipeline of information pertinent to many in the liberal blogosphere. News1News was a popular channel on YouTube– that provided clips from mainstream media outlets– but focused primarily on Fox News, and their blustery political commentators.
Fox News issued an amazing 150 take-down notices to the channel under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. To put that in perspective, YouTube is obligated to shut down any station that receives TWO take-down notices. Apparently, Fox wasn’t fucking around.
Here’s where this story gets screwy. Fox doesn’t seem to have any issue with the many conservative channels currently occupying space on YouTube. In face, The Glen Beck channel and Conservative Nation, have a large number of clips that were left untouched by Fox’s cyber rampage. Coincidence? Nope. Is there an overt agenda to stamp out liberal rants by Fox nation? As a liberal ranter, I say HELL YES! Most of these outlets for news and information are of vital importance to bloggers, liberal or conservative. By trying to limit information, Fox News is engaging in Operation: Dissent Smother. Problem is, for every News1News they shut down, ten more will be up and running– playing the same obnoxious clips of Glen Beck playing with dolls, or Brian Kilmeade just being a plain jackass.
The “fair and balanced” spin machine keeps getting dinged by their own lame softballs.
