Public Comments

1. They're no less authoritative than the news show clips they have..
2. there are no controls on youtube...so No to your question
3. Yeah, if you are looking for entertainment, conspiracies, or bashing material.
4. I thought you only got, like, 1000 characters in each question.
5. No. They are more like Fox News, fair and unbalanced.
6. alot more reliable than fox news
7. Depends what you see. Youtube is a video distributor (like google video). It's not the site, but the referenced video. As an example, a Fox News recording on youtube can also be found on the Fox News archive. So it all depends at what you look at.
