Robert Cox writes a fantastic article about the YouTube censorship of Michelle Malkin's content. YouTube has also limited access to the satirical political video from David Zucker which criticizes the Clinton administration's stances on North Korea and terrorism. If you have not watched this yet, it's definitely worth a look.
What's most concerning is the point in Cox's piece about liberals' control of the largest internet media which are often used for political purposes. Sites like YouTube (now owned by Google) and Google itself are owned by people who ardently support Democrats. These sites are only going to get more prevalent in the political process as people move away from old media sources. There is no "equal access" policies to these media, and the owners are free to censor whatever they want. They have already begun to do so in the case of Malkin, despite the fact that her content contained nothing violating their terms of use.
The political impact of the internet is still evolving, and this is something to watch (pun intended).
