On Thursday, NewsBusters shared with readers a video showing what happened after CNN's Susan Roesgen disgracefully attacked Chicago Tea Party attendees the previous day.

The "most respected name in news" apparently didn't like America knowing the full story, and has requested YouTube remove the video pursuant to copyright laws.

Patterico reported Sunday (h/t Glenn Reynolds):

As to the validity of the copyright claim, let me turn over the megaphone to Ben Sheffner of Copyrights and Campaigns:

CNN does own copyright in its own news footage and, as a general matter, has the right to demand its removal from YouTube. However, as to this particular video, I think Founding Bloggers has a very strong fair use defense. The purpose for Founding Bloggers’ posting of the CNN footage is crystal clear: to comment on and criticize CNN’s reporting on the “Tea Party.” Such a use is right in the heartland of the fair use doctrine; the statute specifically mentions “criticism, comment, [and] news reporting” as protected uses that are “not an infringement of copyright.” 17 U.S.C. § 107. To quickly run through the four fair use factors as they apply here: 1) the use is transformative (for critical comment); 2) the CNN footage is factual, not fictional, and was previously broadcast; 3) the amount used is small in relation to the whole CNN broadcast; and 4) any effect on the market is minuscule (and if fewer people watch CNN because this video causes them to think less of its coverage, that’s simply not cognizable harm). Many fair use cases are difficult, close calls–but, given the facts as I know them, this is an easy one.

That’s a very refined way of saying CNN is full of crap.

Fortunately, a new video has been uploaded to YouTube. Let's see how long it lasts:

CNN understands

the truth hurts and they had no choice but to take the video's down!

After all, their viewers should NEVER be subjected to the TRUTH!

NEVER!

Simple Soultion

There is a simple solution however, to keep this video alive and well.  Keep uploading it to youtube.  After all, how many people do you think d/l that clip onto their pc's KNOWING that it would conveniently "disappear"?  Does CNN  really think that once it is removed from youtube, it is gone for good?  If so, then they obviously have never been to the NewsBusters site.  If there is one lesson that has been touted time and time again here it is this: be sure you cache, d/l or take a screen shot!!!  ;0)

Also, I wonder if they know that it has been aired by the likes of Fox (and maybe others?).  It has been incorporated into Fox broadcasts and is available on their web site as well in the context of the reporting that they did on the story.  Moral lesson for CNN?  Don't send a tool like this out into a hotbed of activity....especially a tool with a chip on their shoulder the size of Olbermann's ego, due to the fact that they weren't hired by Fox....twice!

 

NS, Excellent

Your "understatement" function is working well in excess of it's manufacturer's rating today, Noel.

That’s a very refined way of saying CNN is full of crap.

Thanks, I needed that!

I hope he fails, too.

 

 

Susan did the Tea Party

Susan did the Tea Party attendees that she interviewed a favor by having the video removed.  These people are a complete and utter joke.

Crying about  being over taxed when they just received the largest tax cut in history is the epitomy of stupidity.

Somebody call Ross Perot.  It's time to saddle up again.

Look who's back

Another leftist here to make stupid proclamations...I see you are still spouting the official Rahm party line that the tea parties were protesting taxes, not a scream of  horror at multiple trillion dollar wasteful spending. 

That bit of video on CNN was one of the most glaring indictments of liberal media bias (the whole point of this site, Ginger) and you applaud it being removed.

Brilliant, Sparky.

We need a better class of troll, here. ©

 

I hope he fails, too.

 

 

Yes Blonde, the people

Yes Blonde, the people interviewed were clearly protesting wasteful spending.

Ha.

I love the fat guy with the sign.  

"Obama is a fascist"

Why?

"Because he's a fascist"

Why?

"Just because"

Brilliant.  Simply brilliant.  These people don't know what they are protesting.  What is their goal? 

 

I love the rude debaterette

You know, the so-called reporter.

Who is supposed to be reporting facts, but harangues people she's interviewing with Rahm Emmanuel talking points.  Kinda like you!

You are dismissed.

 

I hope he fails, too.

 

 

I fail to see how her

I fail to see how her asking that guy why Obama is a fascist is rude.

It's not her fault he didn't have an answer.

The fact is the Tea Parties are a joke and a disaster for Republicans.  

gingerman ~ you are using circular reasoning.

First, you know you the reporter is biased and did not do her job properly.  YOU just will never admit to that.

Second, 

"The fact is the Tea Parties are a joke and a disaster for Republicans. "

Enlighten us with your wisdom, please.   Besides just saying the same old things that just pop out of your head.

The simple truth is that the reporter was disgraced.  Otherwise the videos would still be there...

Where is the most assinine gingerbread man? Selling Crack?

perhaps or selling meth... hey lay off me... look at his posts then judge me   ;  )  

 

He used the same answer

that the liberal left used in their claims about President Bush. 

What kind of answer do you think you would get from that idiot Garagalo if you asked her the same question regarding her comments about attendees of the tea parties?

The DHS called 10's of millions

Of us potential terrorist, this from a DHS that wont call AQ terrorist. That seems fascist. He fired individuals in privately owned Co's, that seems fascist. They have targeted individual citizens with legislation, that seems fascist. They are threatening other Corporations because they loaned them $, that seems fascist. They are planning to pass legislation using false info under the guise of science, forcing us all to subsidize all of the rest of their fascist State plans, that seems fascist too. But that is just me?

Yeah, I know. The Obamanistas said they weren't going to nationalize the banks, which is why I believe they are about to do exactly that.

 After a commitment like that, they wont be reversing there"positions". But we love the contrast. Example: how many liberals have ever come on this site acted like Ginman, and changed a conservitives mind? None, they havent the truth, and you cant steal the truth.

I am with you, as soon as Obama said he wouldnt do it, I new it was at risk. Of course he will quickly tell us, it is unpreventable, witch will be another lie. I want a few of these Banks to refuse them access, force the Fed to come in the building armed and force out the heads.

Too bad that guy at GM didn't do that, as it would have been interesting to see what happened.

I don't think most people really understand the extremely dangerous precedent that whole sorry affair really was.

The fact that the gutless republicans failed to even bat an eye over it didn't help much, either.

Well, gingerguy. I see

Well, gingerguy. I see you're part of CNN's target audience - those who see only what suits their personal political viewpoint. Are you suggesting that the man with the "Obama is a fascist" placard was representative of the whole?

The goal is to return constitutional governance to America. To make the politicians in D.C. realize that they are to serve to people, not the other way around.

Sorry, Blonde. Had to get in my two cents. I know you're perfectly capable of putting forth a worthy response of your own. Go for it.

He is not representative of the whole but that doesn't matter.  He is the one getting air time and he reflects on all Republicans.  Perception is reality.

Reminds me of the vitriol spouted at the McCain - Palin rallies that had a severely negative impact on the McCain campaign. 

On a side note, I fail to see how 500 people at Lobbyist organized rally are going to convince politicians to make a change.  The fact that lobbyists organized this whole Tea Party bonanza is hilarious.

Have you ever heard of

Have you ever heard of Freedom Works or Dick Armey?  How about Steve Forbes?

From the FreedomWorks Website:

"With your help, we have been able to organize hundreds of Taxpayer Tea Parties across the country, from Santa Barbara, California to Amarillo, Texas, and all the way to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania."

Exactly.   

 

So, the folks at Freedom

So, the folks at Freedom Works and the likes of Dick Armey are not legitimate Americans with the same free speech rights as J. Garafalo? Here in "rural" Ohio our Tea Parties were organized with the help of local conservative talk radio. And I resent your suggestion that those of us who've taken up the cause are simply ignorant dupes of "corporate America". I for one am not impressed with a $400 tax credit while my state government gladly puts its hand out to allow a bunch of corrupt politicians in D.C. to tell them how to spend my hard-earned money.

Ha QM...Tea Party

Ours here in Fort Lauderdale was organized by a 24 year old registered deomcrat!  So much for that republican flushing sound the liberals think they heard.

And thank you for polishing off the Gingerman.  I can only stomach about two posts of kool-aid talking points.

Good to see you back, here.

 

I hope he fails, too.

Gingerass, yeah, we've heard

Gingerass, yeah, we've heard of them.  What's your frickin' point?

My point is that they are

My point is that they are lobbyists.  Paid to push an agenda. 

These tea parties were not a grass roots movement at all, but rather, a lobbyist ploy.

Anyone who participated bought hook line and sinker into their marketing efforts.  It's cute, but hardly meaningful. 

and anyone who voted democrat

bought hook line and sinker into the democrats marketing efforts?

"Outside of a dog a book is man's best friend,------------inside a dog it's too dark to read"   ---Groucho

"These tea parties were not

"These tea parties were not a grass roots movement at all, but rather, a lobbyist ploy"

The first I heard of the Tea Party movement was when Rick Santelli made the suggestion. People then began calling in to conservative talk radio to agree with what Santelli had to say. Word spread via talk radio and the Internet. Even if I accept that there were those involved who wished to "push an agenda", how does this negate the grass roots beginning? You obviously weren't paying attention when things first started rolling.

Bottom line Gingerman is that you just don't want to believe that there are so many Americans who aren't willing to turn their country over to career politicians who are chomping at the bit to throw out our Constitution and push the country further toward socialism so that they can be the ones to control every aspect of life in America. It's all about the power, GM.

Even if the Tea Parties

Even if the Tea Parties WERE organized by Fox News, the Republican Party or any other entity, the attendees were unpaid, willing participants.  Most of them were everyday working people.  The turmout these events generated is all the more impressive since it represents people who took time off from their employment and busy lives to do this.

You've made a lot of allegations here.  I don't think you can back up this drivel with a single reference or fact.  Let's see you produce some AUTHORITATIVE reference links that establish the Tea Party attendees were paid lobbyists.

Link or slink. 

See you seminar poster "gingerman" we do not care about

I really hate to bust your bubble, Gingerbreadhead...

...(not really) but the Atlanta Tea Party that was held here last Wednesday, which attracted over 20,000 people (yep, right smack in the middle of CNN's hometown) was organized MONTHS before Fox News even decided to cover it, and none of those people or organizations you mention had anything at all to do with it, either.

BTW-Confiscatory taxes and obscene government spending were not the only issues that brought people out, either.

fascist : an adherent of fascism 

Fascism is a radical, authoritarian, and nationalist ideology.[1][2][3][4] Fascists advocate the creation of a single-party state.[5] Fascists believe that nations and races are in perpetual conflict whereby only the strong can survive by being healthy, vital, and by asserting themselves in combat against the weak.[6] Fascist governments forbid and suppress criticism and opposition to the government and the fascist movement.[7] Fascism opposes class conflict and blames capitalist liberal democracies for creating class conflict and in turn blames communists for exploiting class conflict.[8] Fascists reject the individualism and self-interest of laissez-faire capitalism.[9] Many fascist leaders have claimed to support a "Third Way"
in economic policy, which they believed superior to both the rampant
individualism of unrestrained capitalism and the severe control of
state communism.[10][11] This was to be acheived by a form of government control over business and labor (called "the corporate state" by Mussolini).[12] Some call this corporatism[13] while some others do not use the term corporatism to describe the fascist economic arrangement.[14]

What's your point

What's your point exactly?  I'm not arguing about whether or not Obama is a fascist, just pointing out that the guy who called him a fascist on TV might have avoided looking like a complete moron had he had some sort of argument to back up his ridiculous claim.

Side note:  When did the bank nationalization begin again?  I can't remember...was that last fall before Obama was President?  I think it was.   

Bush did not use the bailout

Bush did not use the bailout as a means to control the banks, Obama has. Therefore, Obama is a fascist and Bush is not.

Enough with your retarded attempts

at debate. How in hell was the man supposed to back up a "ridiculous claim" on a friggin SIGN??

Obama isn't a fascist, BTW, he's as marxist as they come.

upcountry: Sounds like the

upcountry: Sounds like the guy with the "Obama is a fascist" placard was fairly accurate in his assessment. I guess he felt it wasn't necessary to provide a definition to a CNN "reporter" who one would think would have a grasp of such terminology.

Civilization is the progress toward a society of privacy. The savage's whole existence is public, ruled by the laws of the tribe. Civilization is the process of setting man free from men. - Ayn Rand

Actually they do know

 They do know exactly what they are protesting, what most of the people in the video are not are oraters or professional speakers. They have a difficult time expressing it in front of a camera...

 If you have issues with the protestors, then why support all the lefties that hated G.W. as CNN did day in, day out week after week year after year?

The real point here is we have a government that is nationalizing banks and companies right and left at their discretion. One that is taking and spending what is not theirs, decreasing the value of the dollar by randomly printing what they think they 'need'. Supporting terrorist countries while calling it's own citizens the terrorists and reducing this country to a third world status.

This is unacceptable and everyone of the bums needs to be throw out, no cushy retirements or pensions for the rest of their lives. They are the ones that need to be fired, not the company C.E.O.'s.

By the way, did I mention all the real tax cheats that are government employees?? Take it from them, not me and mine.

Gingerguy: Please back up

Gingerguy: Please back up your assertion that "they" just received the largest tax cut in history. Who are "they"? And explain this "tax cut" of which you speak.

The stupid ones are those who believe that getting a $400 tax credit and having millions handed over to politicians in their individual states is somehow going to "stimulate" the economy. I liked the analogy that Tammy Bruce made. It's like someone taking $100 from you and bringing you a Happy Meal in return.

Compromise Stimulus plan contains $282 billion in tax cuts for individuals and businesses over a two year period.   

Bush only provided $174 billion in tax cuts in his first two years.  His tax cuts for 2004 and 2005 were $231 billion.   

Included in the Obama tax cuts are income tax cuts, the ability for businesses to write off losses from 2008,  one year tax credit for companies that forego layoffs or make new hires, the ability for small business to write off business expenditures valued up to $250,000 in 2009, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.

Largest tax cuts in history.  Bigger than Bush, bigger than Reagan.

The Tea Party protestors are lost and vulnerable.  Ignorant to the extreme.  I pity them and the ease with which they pick up the cross.

Ignorant

The only ones being ignorant are those who believe the media is fair, that Obummer had experience and that our governement is here to help us. Oh, and you.

You cannot give tax cuts to those who don't pay taxes. Who pays the lions share? 15% pay 85+% of the taxes in this country.

How can someone who makes 12K per year get 6K back in taxes? Who is paying for that? Is it magical leprechaun money that flys down from heaven? NO! Someone is paying more for that person to get that much back, this is called re-distribution of wealth a.k.a. socialism.

There are no tax cuts, only tax increases...follow the paper trail to the truth.

Hmm

 Compromise Stimulus plan contains $282 billion in tax cuts for individuals and businesses over a two year period.

 How can they be called Tax cuts when we just gave them 800bil in so called simulus $. This is a farce, they pretend to give you 282, while stealing 800. Please quit allowing them to muddle your thought proccess, we will all pay for it in the end. BTW his budgit also has the exact same spending in it as the stealfromus bill, increaseing many of these programs by over a 100%,. There is no justification for this BS, other then giving the drones a warm feeling. 

My Gov. thinks I am dangerous, so be careful

"Television is a freak show" Bernie Goldberg

A tax rebate is not a tax

A tax rebate is not a tax cut. A more accurate description would be the "largest wealth redistribution in American history" seeing as those that DO NOT PAY A DIME IN TAXES will receive $400 or $800. Those of us that do pay taxes and have them increased, will merely have them offset by $400 or $800. A tax cut? Only in liberal lala land.

Besides, it looks like the democrats are going to ax the whole thing.

Apparently, not All Tax Cuts are the same....

As described in this RealClearMarkets' article:

Obama's Economic Solutions Are Contractionary

Stimulus plan contains $282 billion in tax cuts for individuals and businesses over a two year period...

First up are income credits described as tax cuts. The latter are meant for low-income families, and as the Wall Street Journal
described them, they will allow “more families that earn too little to
pay income taxes to claim at least some of the $1,000-per-child tax
credit.” At present, a household must have income of $12,500 per year
to be eligible for tax credits, but under the Obama plan, the cutoff
will be reduced to $3,000.

So what Obama and his advisors call a tax cut is really only a
transfer payment from one set of hands to another. Such redistribution
fosters no new production, and with that, no subsequent demand.

For at least two reasons, the credit will be an economic retardant.
Productive workers will see more of their earnings taxed or borrowed in
order to stimulate immediate consumption. When we consider that all
profits in society result from past parsimony, we can see that the
productive economy will be weakened if this form of alleged stimulus is
put in place.

 

..the ability for businesses to write off losses from 2008..

With regard to corporate taxation, according to another Wall Street Journal
account, a key provision of Obama’s plan is to “allow companies to
write off huge losses incurred last year, as well as any losses from
2009, to retroactively reduce tax bills dating back five years.”
Translated, failing companies will write their losses off on the backs
of successful individuals and companies alike.

 

I read the whole article and I thought his explanation was very reasonable.  Obama's tax cuts are not really tax cuts and they are bad for us.  What say you GingerMan?

dumb crap

is all this can be called, $400/year is $1.09/ day. What is the point of this kind of "tax break" when prices have gone through the roof?

pitiful....just pitiful is all I can say about this argument.

Gingerboy, why is it I am starting to think that you just may...

...have actually flunked out of government school, which is pretty damn hard to do today thanks to the union goons of the NEA, who insist on passing their "students," whether they know anything or not, in order to make it look like they are actually teaching these people?

Obama's tax "cut" is nothing but smoke and mirrors. Half the people in this country don't pay federal income taxes as it is. Any "breaks" given to these people are nothing more than welfare payments.

Whatever pittance actual taxPAYERS will see wouldn't pay for five bottles of my favorite single malt scotch. 

What is worse, the mere pittance of a tax break is going to very quickly be offset in the form of sharply higher prices at the retail level for everything that is manufactured, grown, or imported and sold in this country due to higher transportation costs brought about by rising energy prices that we all know are coming. That includes much higher utility bills as well.

Everyone is going to be paying for these increases, even the welfare recipients mentioned above.

Sorry, spin all you want, but the fact of the matter is that 60% of the federal taxpayers are paying the freight for the other 40%.  And what does His Majesty The Shahinshah wish to do?  Why, soak those evil rich bastards even more and give more tax breaks to those who are not paying taxes at all!

That, and He insists on spending money we do not have on crap we do not need.

Obama gives you $200 and takes $34,000

Except for that pesky 'largest tax increase in history'. Of course that's just one tax. Wait for the energy tax, that's a whopper.

No offense, but YOU are the

No offense, but YOU are the epitomy of stupid. Having your taxes reduced from $30,000 to $29,600 doesn't mean you aren't paying too much. Reducing the tax rate from 70% to 65% would be a large tax cut, but it doesn't mean you aren't getting taxed too much.

Sheesh, no wonder this country is in the shape it's in. Too many morons like you running around. And on second thought, I take it back...I hope you ARE offended. Your stupidity offends the rest of us, so why should you get a pass?

Thanks, I needed that...

I'll second that :)

Biggest tax cut in history?

 

 Gingerman,

Exactly what are you smoking? Quote to me the dollar amount that most WORKING Americans received, please. It was $8.00 a month...$8.00 a month is the biggest tax cut in history? I just had a $2700.00 per year increase on my business. History??

Look, the problem is we have a Congress and a President that has instituted the largest tax increase in history, period. You, I, your kids, my kids and our grandkids are now chattle of the government. In 1 month Obama submitted a 'stimulous' that was at bare minimum 10x more than G.W. did his entire tenure. And they passed it without reading it!!

 If you think that this gal did anyone a favor, you are mistaken.

Gingerman, in my 3+ years here at this site, that is by far...

...the stupidest, the most uninformed, and the most brainless comment I have ever seen posted here.

"Crying about  being over taxed when they just received the [largest tax cut in history] is the epitomy of stupidity."

You just might be the least intelligent troll we have ever had here at NB. You are truly an uneducated ignoranus.

You seriously need to go back to kindergarten and start all over.

No joke.

Noel, Where oh where is EYEBLAST.TV?

Why can't Eyeblast store these types of soom to be banned videos?

I thought for sure, this time, I'd see a link to eyeblast, but no.

Too little, too late?

When I first saw the "Founding Bloggers" video, my immediate thought was that I hoped Fox would air it. I then wondered about copyright issues. But I've seen plenty of CNN material being aired on Fox. Too bad for CNN - all of us "tea bagging right-wing extremists" already have the satisfaction of seeing Fox air the video.

Was the Video shot on a CNN Camera

Or was it the camera of a private citizen?

CNN has ZERO copyright ownership of video shot on the camera of a private citizen. 

Good point, kch. If it's

Good point, kch. If it's indeed CNN video, one has to wonder why they bothered to continue filming.

I don't think it was CNN footage

the floundingblogger vid has both CNN and their own footage.  It was probably yanked due to the former and not the latter.  I don't think the obama supporter knew she was being filmed or at least steadfastly ignored the camera.  Each time she used a talking point in the CNN portion of the "interview" she looked to the camera.   Her body language analysis could fill a small book.

What Harm is There?

What harm is there in having the footage on YouTube for all to see?

Oh, I'm sorry, more people might see it on YouTube than what might have seen it on CNN if they had aired it there. Since their ratings are in the toilet and the flush handle is about to be pushed, they might actually get a few viewers by leaving it there.

Interesting that she wanted to work at Fox so badly and now has such an attitude towards that network. Maybe she's just projecting her bitterness about being turned down, twice.

CNN. Crappy Non News.

rightwingidiot...

Nice screen name, by the way.  I wish I would have thought of it!

Anyhoos,...Yeah, didn't this chick, (I'm not PC, so don't comment on my vernacular), come across like some kind of jilted lover or something psycho like that?

I half expect she will try to burn FOX News down to the ground, screaming, "If I can't have you, NO ONE can have you!!! sob sob sob"

Nice journalism here.  I have seen 5th graders conduct better interviews on public access.

You can destroy the Constitution when I'm dead and gone, and unable to defend it. 

Until then, back off, you liberal jackasses.

It Was Easy

It was easy to pick that screen-name. Since the other side (the Left, the Progressives, the Liberals or whatever name they choose to make themselves feel important) already think anybody that disagrees is an idiot, why not just accept it and move on. I could care less what they think of us. It's all just pissed-off projection and name-calling anyway. That seems to be their modus operandi. Just call us some childish names. It makes them seem soooo smart.

I agree that somehow, some way, when she does go "reporter" (like going postal but, well, you know), it will be blamed on Fox news for rejecting her, twice, and on Glenn Beck for something he said. If someone goes on a shooting spree or burns something down it just "has" to be the fault of that damn, right-wing Fox news and that Rodeo Clown, Beck.

Maybe, just maybe, Fox rejected her exactly because of how she attempted to report on the Tea Bag event.

Good point, rwi. You'd think CNN would be glad for the exposure. Evidently the truth hurt. I consider this a victory for our side.

CNN is now attempting to hide the evidence of how they are operating as a publicity arm of the Democrat party.

well

I just uploaded it to youtube again, and will do it whenever its taken down. it may take em a while to ban ALL my accounts.

Boycott CNN advertisers

CNN is not a news organization but one that is set to promulgate the views of the Democrat party, much like unions are not supportive of workers they supposedly represent but a wing of the Democrat party.  Boycott CNN advertisers as long as this nonsense continues.  They already have poor ratings but should get far less advertising dollars too.

Complain to airports that CNN should not be the only station on the TV monitors they have in waiting areas.

 

 

 

Airports

Does anyone know how Cnn became the choice network of Airports? When did it start, ect. Does anyone know?  Maybe Noel knows the answer.

Just an idea

My thoughts on that are that when that first came about - bear in mind that I have only been flying regularly since 1999 - there wasn't that much out there to choose from, and airports stick to it out of laziness/inertia/sweetheart deals from CNN. 

Fortunately I am finding an increasing amount of businesses that show other channels like Fox News and business channels like CNBC in their establishments so that one does get some list of options.
