YouTube Pulls Romney Ad With Obama Singing Al Green, Ignores Videos of President Singing Same Song

Matt Lewis over at the Daily Caller just reported that a Romney campaign ad featuring President Obama singing Al Green's "Let's Stay Together" has been pulled by YouTube for copyright reasons.

Oddly enough, videos like this one from the Associated Press of Obama singing the same song on January 20 are still available at YouTube:

Yet a Romney ad containing Obama singing this same song on the same day at the exact same event has been pulled:

In fact, there's practically a deluge of "Obama sings Al Green" videos functioning just fine at YouTube.

Why is the one used by the Romney campaign being singled out for copyright reasons?

Youtube has simply started to expose their political bias.

Look for Discus to start harassing people that dare to mention anything bad about the thug Obama regieme.

I deleted my YouTube account

I deleted my YouTube account a few months ago. They have always been biased just like the rest of the media. I've been telling NB for years that internet bias is just as bad as traditional media bias.

Type an anti-liberal search key into a search field and you will get several hits featuring anti-conservative material. Do the opposite and you rarely see the equivalent result.

They build libtard bias into their search engines.
