We are a United State Message Board, primarily revolving around a political forum, and Forbes is having issues. . . so?

Now the fact that C-Span cannot be embedded here, I believe this is finally an issue.

Why? Why is it now, 2024, and we STILL cannot embed C-Cpan on this forum?

Is C-Span not a site that can be embedded on this software? Is that the issue?

:dunno:

I don't know anything about the techie side, but what is the issue here?

If you go to C-Span's YouTube channel. . . I looked for Trump's Montana rally. . nothing. It appears they quit regularly posting to their YouTube channel daily relevant content, a decade ago.

The only thing C-Span posts to their YouTube account, is very select important items.

For a political forum that discusses everything, we need everything. Forbes has a conservative bias, IMO, C-Span is less so.

From my stand point, we should have a back up that will cover all political events, that is just a documentation of all events, not just of conservative events.



There has been A LOT of discussion of this event. . . but it cannot be found anywhere on YouTube, Rumble, or any other embeddedable platform we have available to this political discussion site. . .

But here it is, so why can't we put it on this site?

Does anyone even know that it was viewable to us? I didn't till I looked it up. I seriously thought it wasn't.

Campaign 2024​

Vice President Harris and Governor Walz Campaign in Phoenix​

"2024 Democratic presidential candidate and Vice President Kamala Harris campaigned in Glendale, Arizona, with her running mate, Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN). Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) and his wife, former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) who was severely wounded by a gunman in 2011, also spoke. Vice President Harris was interrupted by protesters calling for a ceasefire in Gaza during the event. The vice president addressed the protesters saying the president and she were “working around the clock every day to get that ceasefire deal done and bring the hostages home.” Her remarks in Arizona came as the Democratic ticket made campaign stops across key battleground states in the days leading up to the Democratic National Convention in Chicago."

Is this a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma?

Is this an announcement or feedback?

Sounds more like a rant.
 
I didn't know C-Span still existed. I'm not enough of a political junkie to spend a lot of time watching vids of rallies and speeches, since most of us can already cite all the bullet points; the parrots on all sides bombard all the sites with them 24/7.

" Threats To The Fee Press Ability For Censuring Content And Quashing Compelling Opinions "

* Fee Press Allowances For Public Opinion Responses Surmounts To Yelling At A Wall *


The fee press is sponsored by private interests that want to control and censure public opinion , so an actual free press is a threat to its institutions that seek to control its possible affects on public opinion .

Sometimes the fee press provides an ability to comment on its articles , where each has its own login and comments are often limited in characters , filtered for words , prohibited from including links for reference else must go through moderation , and mostly the responses are ephemeral to bury any useful information deep enough so that few are assured of seeing little in the way of competent , comprehensive and persistent responses .

The twits of the world , with attention span of gnats and arrogance of trolls , want sound bites and memes because further digression is too time consuming and complicated .

The fee press also dispatches discussion forums because unlike published journals with archives and copyrighted materials , when the sites go away the content can no longer be referenced .
 
Why so much complaining?

In a few years all of these forums will be done. There's a new train coming and it's not about waiting for responses.

It isn't USMB that is blocking C-Span's links, much less any other site. It's the way C-Span has their "sharing" buttons set up. '

The easiest way to share anything from another source outside of USMB is to copy and paste the address. If it's a paid site, meaning you have to pay to read content, that's a different story entirely.
 
You mean this?

Now embed it. We can't. This is my issue. I would like to SEE C-Span video on-site.

I knew it was there. I didn't know they had Kamala's rally. Forbes DIDN'T have Kamala's. I can embed Trump's rally no problem.

Right now, the only place on this site people can go to watch unedited original events, and post them here on this site, is Forbes, (or RSNB.) Lately Forbes has been, well, glitchy.

BREAKING NEWS: Trump Unleashes On Kamala Harris And Tim Walz At Rally In Bozeman, Montana​

I sort of thought that might be the case.


I can't even find them as an app on my Roku or Playstation. And everyone and their brother can be viewed on these devices.
