Fox News pulls Sky News' Republican debate live stream from YouTube

Share this story

British TV channel Sky News has been streaming the ongoing debate between Republican presidential candidates on YouTube tonight, letting those without a cable subscription or US residency watch Donald Trump, Jeb Bush, Rand Paul, and company face off. But Sky News may not have filled out the paperwork correctly — the stream has been pulled with a note saying "This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Fox News Network, LLC."

It's not clear what happened yet or on what grounds Sky News was able to broadcast Fox News' footage; however, both Fox News and Sky News are part of Rupert Murdoch's sprawling empire. Such is media.
