In the morning I usually catch Morning Joe on youtube. Sometimes livestreams, sometimes 1 hour segments posted after the fact. Usually a quick search would find about 20 videos, about half or sometimes more would be scammers posting old segments under the wrong date as clickbait, and about half a dozen that were actually current. The same for CNN New Day.
In the last two days the searches have turned up almost nothing. Even the old segments from weeks or months ago, and even the clickbait ones, have disappeared. It could be that youtube has tightened down at the request of msnbc, cnn.
But could youtube be doing it to push for the right?
A search of “march 19 2019 8am” found no MSNBC Morning Joe, a couple of CNN New Day, a couple of local news broadcasts, the other 80% were Fox news results.
Anybody searching for a morning news show would be led to something from Fox. Are CNN and MSNBC tightening down on rebroadcasts, or is youtube pushing people to Fox?
Anybody have an explanation?
