New channel out there for your sifting pleasure: *news!

Just try not to flood it with too many videos about Angelina Jolie giving birth to twins, okay?

Cool, NR! Great channel. I, too, was interested in that channel, if you remember. It's cool that you want to be like me. Nice blue colored username; it looks a lot like mine. That's cool, too. Oh, and look at that avatar: "peace will not be silenced by fear." You really want to be me, huh? You've got great taste, I'll admit that.

This is something the Sift has needed for a long time. Schmawy and you have done a bang-up job with your new channels.

Yeah, nice channel, NetRunner. It's pretty surprising we've gone this long without a news channel, especially considering the amount of news-related vids on here.

Hey, what's the invocation? I tried *news on a video and Siftie ignored me.

Post is already assigned to news talk - ignoring all requests by blankfist.

Since we're in the initial, formative hours of the creation of the channel, I'll submit to the community whether nearly pure commentary from the mouths of pundits should be part of the "news" channel.

Take these two videos:

http://politics.videosift.com/video/John-McCain-Blames-Barack-Obama-For-high-Price-Of-Gas
http://politics.videosift.com/video/Andrew-Card-Laughed-Off-Of-Morning-Joe-for-Time-Horizon

My inclination is to say they should be included simply because of the source, if not the content, but I'd love to hear others weigh in.

^It's your channel dude, so it's your call. In fact I was just about to ask you if Daily Show segments about news items count as "News."

If you're going to ask me, I say "yes," because pundits shape the news, whether we like it or not. Just one person's opinion.

For your own clips you have to go through "modify video details"

About time we get this channel!

Actually, I'm not sure that "pure" commentary should be counted as news, because it's not really news. News is "something has happened and we're reporting it" commentary is "something has been reported and here's my take on it". Commentaries should probably have its own subdivision. Until then, kronos' argument holds: pundits shape the news, so it'll work.

This is excellent news, and it should be interesting. Good luck with this channel.

Nice.
Is funny news stuff/bloopers allowed, or just serious stuff? For example there is my Not Necessarily the News playlist or Joedirt's This Just In

Absolutely. Jon Stewart (or anyone else) skewering the media is also welcome.

Clips from the movie "Network" would also qualify.

I'm going to say opinion pieces done by members of the "media" qualify too.

Consider "news" as a warning label about the source (or subject), not a seal of approval for the content's journalistic quality.

Would things like this be newsworthy or no?

Did you hear? Angelina Jolie pushed two aliens out of her vagina, thus making me sad. And that's the news for tonight. Good night, and good luck.
