Whoopi joke was good.
May 13, 2008 - 07:05 ET by JWFWe have 2 TV's in my house. I will not watch "the view" or any entertainment congratulatory pat on the back show. EVER!
Matthew - do you care to explain why you delete my comments
May 13, 2008 - 08:43 ET by Dee Bunkon Newsbusted? I really don't understand because they have no profanity and are not nearly as nasty as many of the liberal ones you allow. Also, there are ones of mine that were allowed that were more biting then ones that were not. Are comments just randomly deleted?
I think I'm just done with commenting over there because those liberals are so rude and it's especially aggravating when people like this upabittolate person is allowed to disparage the troops and say they died for nothing and then I'm not even allowed to respond.
Actually I think I'm done watching too because I don't even want to see their comments when I'm not allowed to respond.
So Matthew is busy getting married.
May 13, 2008 - 09:00 ET by Dee BunkWould the mysterious deleter care to comment?
Ok Ok already.
May 13, 2008 - 09:05 ET by JWFI did it. You annoy me.
Keep it up buddy, I will delete your teh internets account.
Is this supposed to be funny JWF?
May 13, 2008 - 10:27 ET by Dee BunkIt's not. Who are you? I don't even know you.
Dee... Look for a PM from

Look for a PM from me in the next few minutes.

Me?
May 13, 2008 - 10:40 ET by JWFI is teh ruler of all teh internets! Rue my wrath!
Sorry buddy, trying to inject some humour, I guess it didn't work.
Youtube is separate from newsbusters, I do not think the NB staff has much say over comments posted there.
Did not mean to offend.

May 13, 2008 - 09:23 ET by candanceYou have to understand how YouTube works. It sounds like the KosKids who comment on the videos keep giving your post a thumbs down or even calling it spam just to get YouTube to pull it. If enough people "complain" or flag a post it will get taken down by the website unbeknownst to Matt or anyone at NB.
It's part of the left's campaign to allow free speech even they disagree with in the way only the left can do - have your speech forcibly remove from a website.
That also explains why such profane comments from the left are allowed to flourish there; the echo chamber gives itself thumbs up to preserve their own free speech.
Candance - that would be a good explanation BUT
May 13, 2008 - 10:31 ET by Dee BunkMy comments never make it to even get voted on. I know that when comments start to get out of had they switch it to where they moderate them and they don't post until someone lets it through. Mine don't get through so it has nothing to do with the immature liberals.
It's someone at Newsbusters/Newsbusted. It's very strange. Maybe they have liberals working here.
OIC
May 13, 2008 - 10:43 ET by candanceWell I shall still give NB the benefit of the doubt until we get an explanation.
They don't like to explain
May 13, 2008 - 10:53 ET by Dee BunkIt's very strange. I really doubt that I'll get an explanation. Now that I'm pretty sure this wasn't Matthew, it makes more sense.
I think they have some "volunteers" who don't necessarily agree with Newsbusters mission - if Newsbusters even has one.
Does Newsbusters have a mission? If not I think they need one that should be passed to employees/volunteers because it seems that liberals both on Newsbusters and Newsbusted get a much greater leeway
Let me make amends
May 13, 2008 - 11:26 ET by JWFI believe you will find newsbusters have an account at youtube just like any other person/business. As such, they will have little or no say on what is posted in the comments section
Youtube is notoriously either left leaning or scared pooless of the angry vocal leftist inhabiting the world wide webs. As such, only one opinion can be heard. Jonah Goldberg did not write "Liberal Fascism" for nothing.
May I respectfully suggest you concentrate you efforts here on newbusters where your opinion will be respected/heard. I long ago gave up trying to be heard on any leftist site.
Is all forgiven?
JWF - I don't hold grudges and anytime someone is
May 13, 2008 - 12:27 ET by Dee Bunkrespectful to me, I'll be respectful back. I'm kind of a heart on my sleave type who says what's on my mind and I'm a little crabby lately. I found your comment before irritating but that is it. I don't have any animus towards you.
I know that they have control of the comments on Newsbusted because Matthew has talked about it before. I am going to stay away though because it's too frustrating to have comments deleted like that while liberals make stupid arguments that are easy to poke holes in (if you are allowed).
Hey hi Dee... Are you
May 13, 2008 - 13:17 ET by bigtimerHey hi Dee...
Are you saying you have attempted to make comments since the ones you had already posted last week? I don't quite understand what is happening with your comments if that is what you are talking about...I have seen your posts so far and there is nothing wrong with them, in fact they are excellent...something isn't right...I guess I'll wait to hear back from you here...geesh compared to the vile filth from the leftists there it is unbelievable that your comments would be deleted.

BT - and the ones of mine that made
May 13, 2008 - 13:35 ET by Dee Bunkit were the more nasty ones if anything. It is very strange. And yes - I tried to make a comment yesterday to that upabit person. I've given up now. For what ever reason mine are on some extra long approval track and even if one gets through then I won't necessarily be able to respond again so it's pointless for me.
Dee... Very weird
May 13, 2008 - 13:41 ET by bigtimerDee...
Very weird indeed...I went there last night before I closed out here but they were working on youtube so it said, I went back there this morning to check out a reply to me...just read it and went about my business here at home...hmmm...
I do not know what to say.

May 13, 2008 - 19:08 ET by Noel SheppardDee,
For what it's worth, I don't think anybody at NB is deleting your comments at YouTube. I think only the YouTube moderators can do that, but that's just a guess. ns
I don't know the YouTube system too well
May 13, 2008 - 19:22 ET by sarcasmoI only bother rating videos, not comments. But can people gang up and down-moderate a comment by Dee enough to make it fully disappear over there if they do it enough times? Other alternative: someone at Google with waaaay too much time on his/her hands.

The tax & spend drug war looks racist in the real world.
Once it get five or so
May 13, 2008 - 19:26 ET by CortillaenOnce it get five or so negatives with no positives, it gets collapsed so that people have to click a little link to show it. As for actually making it go poof, no, the public can't.

Hmmm...Interesting.
May 13, 2008 - 19:31 ET by sarcasmoThat's how I understood it, too.
Well, Dee said her comments there have gone poof instead of just collapsing, so something's up IMO, as I believe Dee. It's something administrative over there being done by someone with an agenda. And it's not like Dee has ever said anything offensive if my guess is right, so chances are this is entirely unjustified.

sarc - well I can't say that I've never been offensive
May 13, 2008 - 23:13 ET by Dee BunkI can be rude and lose my temper, but I don't use the F word, C word call people pedophiles and make comments wishing that soldiers loose all their limbs and lots of other vile stuff said by one poster that is still there.
The whole thing is really strange and doesn't make sense. Maybe one of those last two I was arguing with complained to Youtube or something or have some type of privileges. I don't know and I probably never will. I'm just done with it because those people are really brain dead anyway.
Cort... You made the only
May 13, 2008 - 21:30 ET by bigtimerCort...
You made the only thing I could think of that may make Dee say that the comments were deleted if she didn't know about your post, the comments do disappear like you say after enough thumbs down, unless you click the little link above or beside it that says "show" I think it is...have you tried this Dee and do you know about it? I have a feeling you do since you have been there as long as me, and I learned on my own from going there over time..anyway, it's a thought, let us know...
On the other hand if I uderstood you right you said your comments you just wrote and posted didn't make it or were deleted...so ...I am curious too.
"Never murder your opponent when he is committing suicide." ~ W. Churchill
Yeah - I know about the thumbs up and down
May 13, 2008 - 23:22 ET by Dee Bunkmine are never even making it to that point. It says "comment posted" after I hit post but it never shows up. But there have been some that made it inbetween ones that didn't. It's all very strange. It's okay though - I've just given up. I'll live without it.
Dee... When it says
May 13, 2008 - 23:33 ET by bigtimerDee...
When it says comment posted you do not see it immediately at all...I never had, I always had to wait a bit and go back and check later...even after you stay there after a bit and keep commenting to others, or rate, the comment you just posted won't won't show up then ..nyway for me that is how it has always worked...I go back a bit later and it is there.
I'm not computer savvy in the least so it may be different for you...just wanted to throw that in there.

I lol at the first joke
May 13, 2008 - 13:22 ET by bigtimerI lol at the first joke today...when the fat lady sings indeed!
NYT's and state secrets and good ol' Sharpton were rich for laughter too...although I still am fuming when it comes to the NYT's and releasing our classified info. to intentionally hurt us during a time of war is still maddening to me...adn nothing done about it...same goes for WaPo.
Jodi was great as always...
