YouTube Cuts Off Real-Time, Legal Coverage of Rittenhouse Trial; Immediately Regrets It
By Victoria Taft

[PJMedia] Right after Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger began his closing statement in the Kyle Rittenhouse Trial, YouTube cut off channels that were beating legacy media channels. Coincidence?

The Rekieta Law channel, which features multiple lawyers doing real-time analysis of the trial, often beat the number of people watching the PBS stream. The PBS stream is one of the more reliable ones available to YouTube users and was being used by several outlets.

After getting cut off, Nick Rekieta reminded YouTube that ten lawyers considered it a breach of contract.

Social Media Failed and scary as it is for me to admit.

A dozen more Lawyers have actually shown themselves worthy of breathing air.

So of course our bigtech Ministry of Truth cuts them off and keeps streaming PBS's bullshit and big lies. So predictable.

#4 #3 On a lighter note, perhaps when they take the feed down, YouTube could do the Soviet thing and switch to pre-programmed acceptable entertainment for the masses.

The USSR always reverted to Swan Lake. Maybe for this trial YouTube-Ministry of Truth could switch to a sendup of Tom Stoppard's sendup on Shakespeare: "Rosenbaum and Grosskreutz are Dead”

#5 BREAKING

From last night:

In late-breaking news, the defense filed a motion for a mistrial with prejudice on grounds that the State failed to provide the defense with the high-definition drone video in its possession, insteady merely providing the defense with a low-resolution version of that video, as well as on other grounds.
