Manipulation of Media

I was browsing Digg.com a few days ago, and I came across a video from a Fox News Republican Debate. There was a certain piece of the debate that was actually cut out from the re-broadcast. This piece features an aggressive question against Ron Paul: Are you electable? Shortly after the youtube video began to gain attention, it was removed from Youtube due to "user term violation." In other words, was this Fox trying to cover it's tracks? Either way, it's up again, at least for now. If you have a chance, please check it out here. This video may vanish soon, and if it does I will leave the broken link up for everyone to see. Freedom of information? Public representation? Fox news appears to daringly abuse it's journalistic power, and manipulate what information is and is not represented.




Another video. This one is from PBS, detailing the level of corruption that is going on in the current election... Thankfully, PBS is not owned by the major power holders in mainstream media, and bless them for it:
