It is also true that the video, which boasts of over 80 million views on YouTube so far, has been subjected to much - I think fair – scrutiny. http://salem-news.com/articles/march202012/fanatical-kony-ma.php http://salem-news.com/articles/march202012/fanatical-kony-ma.php Tue, 20 Mar 2012 20:05:00 PDT The election of Barack Obama ushered in the use of political networking that hadn't been seen before. Amazingly, the message failed to register in the minds of the Republican candidates now vying for votes as nominees. Instead of recognizing the potential that the Obama campaign exploited, Republican contenders have been raising huge capital contributions to support traditional speaking engagements and TV ads. http://salem-news.com/articles/march172012/kony-2012-pb.php http://salem-news.com/articles/march172012/kony-2012-pb.php Sat, 17 Mar 2012 03:57:00 PDT YouTube chose to ignore a question Monday, advocating marijuana legalization from a retired LAPD deputy chief of police. The question won twice as many votes as any other video question in the White House's "Your Interview with the President" competition on the Google-owned site. http://salem-news.com/articles/january312012/leap-marijuana.php http://salem-news.com/articles/january312012/leap-marijuana.php Tue, 31 Jan 2012 13:34:00 PST In early 1991, something happened at the El Toro Marine air base that was so bad, so shameful, that it will not go away. It's the highly controversial death of Marine Colonel James Sabow. A fighter pilot, a hero of the Vietnam War, a man considered by those who knew him, to be 'general material'. http://salem-news.com/articles/december162011/jim-sabow-video-tk.php http://salem-news.com/articles/december162011/jim-sabow-video-tk.php Fri, 16 Dec 2011 23:45:00 PST 12 years ago, Eric Akiskalian took his surfing career to the next level and began chasing big waves and created Towsurfer.com. Now 51-years old, not only is he passionate about chasing and riding giant swells all over the globe but he’s equally passionate about promoting the sport of big-wave surfing and all the big-wave addicts that charge these colossal waves along with him. http://salem-news.com/articles/october152011/big-wave-addicts-ea.php http://salem-news.com/articles/october152011/big-wave-addicts-ea.php Sat, 15 Oct 2011 22:56:00 PDT YouTube may be acting illegally by taking down videos for alleged copyright infringement, ignoring important factors regarding Fair Use as provided for in copyright law. In August 2008, U.S. District Judge Jeremy Fogel of San Jose, California ruled that copyright holders cannot order a deletion of an online file without determining whether that posting reflected "fair use" of the copyrighted material. http://salem-news.com/articles/april182011/reckless-youtube-al-tk.php http://salem-news.com/articles/april182011/reckless-youtube-al-tk.php Mon, 18 Apr 2011 04:07:00 PDT Every now and then we receive an unsolicited story contribution that begins with something like... "Here's something to break up the dark cloud that accompanies most Salem-News.com regular reports" and I have to smile, because I understand. We all have our reprieve and I thought I'd share one of mine with our readers. This guy is a real fruit and an incredible hit on YouTube: "The Annoying Orange". http://salem-news.com/articles/december032010/annoying-orange-tk.php http://salem-news.com/articles/december032010/annoying-orange-tk.php Fri, 03 Dec 2010 01:27:00 PST Israel's Channel 23 News is a snapshot of Jewish tolerance. Bear in mind that this is Israel National TV's 5:00 pm News. In this clip the reality of 1,400 dead in Gaza, including 400 children, is not something the announcers can agree upon. The elder Israeli presenter is Dan Margalit, a leading Israeli Journalist and a devoted servant of every Israeli government and War Criminal leader in the last four decades. http://salem-news.com/articles/january082010/israeltv_ca.php http://salem-news.com/articles/january082010/israeltv_ca.php Fri, 08 Jan 2010 18:40:00 PST A couple's hilarious wedding video is making big strides on YouTube and in national media. The clip which is titled "waffle wedded wife" begins with a beautiful wedding scene, just before the couple-to-be offers their vows. The title of the clip gives you a clue, but you won't believe what happens. The proud dad and father-in-law Tim Engstrom, who by the way is officiating the vows for the couple, explained that the wedding began with an organ player who didn't know when to stop playing. http://salem-news.com/articles/october132009/wedding_blooper_10-13-09.php http://salem-news.com/articles/october132009/wedding_blooper_10-13-09.php Tue, 13 Oct 2009 16:34:00 PDT Some pretty radical video clips have been posted on YouTube since the company began posting videos online a few years ago. In spite of some of those spicy videos that have made the cut, we have always known that the organization had standards, and I certainly don't object to that. But I do take exception to their removing one of my Iraq War reports last summer that showed a dead terrorist. I think YouTube needs a serious reality check. YouTube bans pornographic or sexually explicit video showing frontal nudity of women. It is OK to show topless men. The site is known for plenty of bare behinds; apparently that part is OK. http://salem-news.com/articles/january152009/video_pulled_1-15-09.php http://salem-news.com/articles/january152009/video_pulled_1-15-09.php Thu, 15 Jan 2009 18:31:00 PST Six teenagers are accused of beating a 16-year-old girl, recording the attack and posting it on the popular social networking sites MySpace and YouTube. Victoria Lindsay was attacked on March 30th by six teenage girls when she arrived at a friend's home, authorities said. At one point in the video, Lindsay was knocked unconscious, and was later seen pleading to be let out of the house. http://salem-news.com/articles/april082008/internet_beating_040808.php http://salem-news.com/articles/april082008/internet_beating_040808.php Tue, 08 Apr 2008 07:40:00 PDT I admit I see it all with a bit of jealousy. From the perspective of a video producer, life has to be good when it allows time to slice up scenes from Jack Nicholson movies in order to create political endorsements. http://salem-news.com/articles/march042008/nicholson_3-4-08.php http://salem-news.com/articles/march042008/nicholson_3-4-08.php Tue, 04 Mar 2008 11:56:00 PST A new song featuring Presidential Candidate Barack Obama is being watched by millions. It is as unlikely as the candidate himself but proof that change is inevitable in the future of this great nation and that we have the capability of growing in good ways in spite of some of our bad traits. The song and video feature a star cast, by will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas, along with several celebrities including Kate Walsh, Scarlett Johansson, and John Legend (to name a few) have gotten together to pay homage to Democratic Presidential candidate Barack Obama. http://salem-news.com/articles/february042008/obama_song_2-4-08.php http://salem-news.com/articles/february042008/obama_song_2-4-08.php Mon, 04 Feb 2008 17:03:00 PST 7 months ago, a video I put together entitled "Cradle of Filth- My Humps" was added to YouTube.com. The video was no longer than 2 minutes and took less than 45 minutes to make. http://salem-news.com/articles/february032008/cradle_of_humps_2_2_08.php http://salem-news.com/articles/february032008/cradle_of_humps_2_2_08.php Sun, 03 Feb 2008 12:12:00 PST Andy McKee is music's newest international phenomenon. This self-described guy from Topeka, Kansas has literally won the world over with his YouTube.com videos and his growing fanbase can't seem to get enough. A self-trained fingerstyle guitarist and composer, McKee posted videos of his tunes on YouTube.com last year, a move that has launched a staggeringly successful career. http://salem-news.com/articles/october312007/andy_mckee_103107.php http://salem-news.com/articles/october312007/andy_mckee_103107.php Wed, 31 Oct 2007 14:46:00 PDT The Defense Department is taking a number of Internet organizations seriously in their complaint over a ban of sites like YouTube and MySpace. The government says it stems from soldiers using too much bandwidth and they also call it a security compromise. But many soldiers overseas say it is nothing more than an attempt to restrict information. http://salem-news.com/articles/may162007/dod_youtube_3_51607.php http://salem-news.com/articles/may162007/dod_youtube_3_51607.php Wed, 16 May 2007 20:04:00 PDT One video service that is being banned from U.S. government computers is going to fight back. YouTube wants a meeting with the U.S. military over a Web ban announced Monday. Soldiers say they are not in support of the government ban, they see it as an attempt to reduce the flow of information. One says the government has even clamped down on a soldier's ability to purchase vital equipment, "you can't go onto eBay anymore at some sites across Afghanistan." http://salem-news.com/articles/may152007/youtube_dod_part_2_51507.php http://salem-news.com/articles/may152007/youtube_dod_part_2_51507.php Tue, 15 May 2007 15:59:00 PDT
