This is too much!
YouTube reached a new low today.
It’s not just anti-jihad videos they are banning!
They just removed the “17 second” clip of Harry Reid hanging a phone up on a reporter!
What gives, YouTube?
Yesterday, the Associated Press released a video explaining the story they broke on Harry Reid’s land deal scandal. You can view the entire video at Reuters website linked HERE.
The video is approximately 2:40 minutes long.
I cut “17 seconds” to make the YouTube clip that I posted in this post HERE.
After several hundred hits on the clip today, YouTube just yanked it!
It’s gone! Removed!
Here is the message I just received from YouTube:

So correct me if I’m wrong
I have seen hundreds of YouTube news clips. They are not flagged and removed.
So, does this apply only to 17 second conservative clips?
What gives?
