Comey Outs Scandal - Testimony Goes Viral
It’s great when political video goes viral. There is a legitimate value to the argument that some long-form content does better online. James Comey’s testimony (below) is a great example of news content which is not well served by network sound-bites but is widely viewed in its entirety online.
Comey, a former senior Justice Department official revealed what the Washington Post is calling “an account of Bush administration lawlessness so shocking it would have been unbelievable coming from a less reputable source.”
Comey details a late-night rush when he was acting Attorney General to John Ashcroft’s hospital bed to preempt a move by the Bush administration to force an incapacitated Ashcroft to approve a domestic spying program deemed illegal by the justice department.
Also of note is the fact that YouTube seems to have suspended its 10-minute per clip limitation for this video - Something Google seems willing to do for their best users.
