'(G)One New York': Someone Pulls All Senate Videos From Vimeo

Remember yesterday when I wrote about One New York News, the new bi-weekly video broadcast launched yesterday by the State Senate? I certainly offered my own critique. It was apparently kinder than others. Spin Cycle called it "phony". CapCon put "newscast" in quotes. So did Liz.

Maybe these criticisms struck a nerve. Not only has that video been pulled from Vimeo, so have the other three videos posted to the Vimeo account attributed to the "New York State Senate".

Why put this video out there accompanied by a press release announcing the debut and a regular schedule for it only to pull it 24 hours later? What gives?

I'm sure the critiques helped... (0.00 / 0)

And yes, as you said yesterday Phillip, we need to do better. We should be welcoming the Republicans in with open arms. You want to be able to work with them. You don't want them to turn into the "No" minority.

I didn't think they were too bad. Certainly they could have used some work, but over time, I think they would improve.

But again, if this is going to be touted as "One New York News", they better bring in the Republicans. Without the GOP in it, they might as well call it the "Democratic Majority News."

This account from Buffalo Geek sheds some light on the issue.

I see the video (0.00 / 0)

I can see the video perfectly. Interestingly, I looked in the senate and it was there, yes, posted. I can understand if it was taken down in the senate, but come on here...vimeo? Did they have problems with the video after posting. I've had many video loading issues with vimeo. And I agree that the video is not nearly half as bad. As a matter of fact, it's pretty good. I also think that bringing in the Republicans can help a bit, though a very small bit.
