The popularity of politics on YouTube

A NewsLink Indiana student crew did a story about Friday's visit to Muncie by Hillary Clinton. That story posted to You Tube, has gotten over 300 hits. There's plenty of other videos from the event online too. The Star Press carried the speech live on it's web site and the Indy stations were in attendance as well.
At least one of the viewers of the NLI story was really looking closely. The crew had exhausted it's good wide shots and took one from the feed to end the story on. The line was about continuing to campaign in Indiana and other states. The comment from the You Tube viewer called out the crew for using one shot that wasn't from Muncie.
I know You Tube has a lot of interest, but just didn't think people would be watching that critically!
