Selective Enforcement

This post was deleted for the following reason: already talked about, and not that big of a deal when a network requests removal.



 
For comparision, I was going to link some full episodes of other Fox shows, but figured the other interviews make my point better. In case things change, here's the story: every upload of Clinton on Fox News has been removed, while everything else Fox News remains. Huh?

I found it on Google (Part 1) (Part 2).

It seems odd that this is the only thing I can find that has been requested to be removed from the site. Mods can delete this if it is necessary, I have no ego to defend. I wonder what else has been removed?

The Fox coverage of the interview that caused such a stir is still up. It seems only copies of the Clinton/Wallace interview itself have been taken down.

My penis controls my mind and I love Clinton.
Good for Bill, I'd do anything to get him back.

I suppose the point I am trying to make is that this clip has been singled out and specifically noted that it must be removed from YouTube. The unspoken corralary is, what about everything else? Is this some sort of tacit approval that things from FoxNews are fine to put on the web, unless ... what? Is the criteria the disagreements with the administration? Is it too soon since the broadcast? News shows don't usually play reruns.

This is a double. A double filled with stupid.

I never linked to the interview. But if it is a double, then it should be gone. Yet I found no mention of this topic in that other thread.

Letter vs. spirit and all.

The right is blinded by their hatred of Clinton.
The left is blinded by their hatred of Bush.

The rest of us are shaking our heads and wondering when we can kick both these parties out of office.

Kind of a non-post, right? Am I missing something? I clicked on 3 links that went nowhere and that proves something? Huh.

I think it's interesting that this is, apparently, the one piece of Fox News that the network doesn't want on YouTube. This isn't literally a double since you're talking about Fox's assertion of their "property rights" regarding the Clinton interview, rather than the interview itself. It might have been best to post this in the comments of the original thread, however, but I never would have seen it otherwise, so thanks.

Is it safe to post ceilingcat.gif yet?

Slightly off-topic, but I don't see Fox News very often. Is it always so absolutely Godawful - or are these clips unusually bad?

When I see any clip with the FOX news logo on the screen I'm now going to run calliope music in my head.

It will help. Somewhat.
