I noticed a lot of new censorship on YouTube

I was trying to search for this old Rachel Maddow compilation where she says "Russia" over and over about a hundred times, but whenever I searched for anything including her name in the search terms, every result was official clips directly from MSNBC. Those can't possible be the most popular results. Hundreds of people make hundreds of videos about talking heads and usually they get more views. I tested this by checking search results for Tucker Carlson. Sure enough there were a variety of results from all different sources. That's the way I remember it being. That's what any normal person would want, because obviously you can find whatever you need that way. You can search within the FOX News YouTube channel if those are the only type of results you want.

It seems like YouTube is protecting her from criticism by not allowing people to search for videos from other sources. Are her views really so indefensible that she has to be propped up this way? Yes. That's what authoritarians regimes do. Honest liberals should think twice about supporting her.

I eventually found the video I was looking for, but not on YouTube. I heard it was removed!

Geez, just put "Maddow Russia mashup" in the search bar of youtube and it's there.

I can't believe I'm saying this but Thrillhouse makes me miss the BVS trolls we used to deal with. Seriously--at least those trolls could make us laugh. Thrillhouse and the others around here are so damn boring.

When you're in that bubble... -_-. No wonder you can't 'find' the info you're looking for. Only took me about 30 seconds to find but it's there, just obscured. Gotta love Operation Mockingbird.

Let's see if he's man enough to say "Well, you're right. I was wrong." and not expound or try to deflect or any other inane rationalization.

You know he can't.

I found it. Its not as funny as the Trump China mashup though. Probably because she knows how to say the word appropriately.

Maddow is a horrifying creature. Her views are utterly terrifying, and she's got that really obvious zeal for trying to suppress other people's (i.e. sane people's) viewpoints. and she's really incredibly annoying. Obviously, she's someone that likes to go on TV and suggest that OTHER people are dumb, when she's the ****ing one who's a PRO-ISLAM LESBIAN.... there's nothing dumber than a gay who thinks Muslims are their "allies" LOL.

And worse than that, she actually thinks she's funny. Horrible combination.

WOW! You really 'rushed to judgement' on that one (as T-rumpanzees like to say). Will you apologize?

LOL Thrillhouse is no longer Trollhouse, but now Failhouse.
