I'll check out these videos (all of which are on the Redacted Tonight YouTube 
channel, I believe) but one problem is that Lee Camp, like Jimmy Dore, swears. We've 
been told that UPTV won't air swearing and this really cuts into what clips we can 
offer up for replaying there.

It's very unfortunate because there's quite a lot of good stories that are covered 
with right-minded principals on Redacted Tonight (the only news comedy show to do 
this), Common Censored, and Moment of Clarity. Lee Camp or his Common Censored 
co-host Eleanor Goldfield swears in all of them.

For example, remember that lawsuit ex-Bernie Sanders supporters launched against the 
DNC corporation when Sanders was "cheated"[1] out of his chance at winning that 
party's 'primary'? Lee Camp covered that on Redacted Tonight at the time this was 
current news and virtually nobody else covered this story. I found that piece and 
that lawsuit puts a lot of corporate-owned party politics into perspective, but we 
can't play Lee Camp's segments on that.

Here are some examples of what I'm referring to from the clips you listed:

Designed To Destroy 3rd Parties (Web Exclusive)"

Just search for "[_]" (the string YouTube substitutes for certain words) in the 
subtitles if you're using a movie player that will read the subtitles generated by 
YouTube, or extract the subtitles and search the subtitles alone (I prefer youtube-dl 
to download YouTube videos, ffmpeg to let youtube-dl make Mastroka files, and then I 
extract subtitles with the mkvtoonix tools).

I'm far too much of a free speech advocate to complain to Lee Camp, Jimmy Dore, 
Eleanor Goldfield, or anyone else making shows that they should stop speaking as they 
wish. I aim my complaints at either UPTV or speech rules UPTV must comply with. I'd 
rather all shows let people say whatever they want and then host reaction shows where 
people explain their views to the contrary (such as airing Lee Camp then airing 
someone explaining why they don't agree with Lee Camp's views). I do not blame Jason 
Liggett nor do I think he made the policy there. This is also part of the reason why 
I find the Internet to be a more liberated medium than cable TV.




[1] It's difficult to argue that Sanders was cheated because:
1. He didn't react or behave as one who was cheated,

2. He ran the same campaign again afterwards and met with the same result and didn't 
say much about it then either,

3. Most important reason (which trumps the other two reasons above) is structural: As 
Bruce Spiva said in http://jampac.us/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/042517cw2.pdf 
speaking to the court in his official capacity as the DNC corporation lawyer:

> Bruce Spiva: [...] We're gonna, you know, choose our standard bearer, and we're
> gonna follow these general rules of the road, which we are voluntarily deciding,
> we could have — and we could have voluntarily decided that, Look, we're gonna go
> into back rooms like they used to and smoke cigars and pick the candidate that
> way. That's not the way it was done. But they could have. And that would have also
> been their right [...]

I think that the late Bruce Dixon had it right in 
https://blackagendareport.com/bernie-sanders-sheepdog-4-hillary -- Sen. Bernie 
Sanders is a sheepdog for the Democratic Party. This also explains why Sanders 
doesn't complain about his alleged mistreatment even when his supporters do.
