RT America and Young Turks Blocked from Hulu
As a senior with limited funds, I stopped cable and learned to rely on alternate forms of information and entertainment. I opted, among other things, to subscribe to Hulu. It not only streams many MSM shows the day after broadcast, it has also streamed many alternate, and progressive shows such as The Big Picture, Redacted Tonight, and The Young Turks. All of that came to an end late March. I contacted Hulu and was told that it was official, but with no explanation.

ON EDIT: I somehow missed the paragraph regarding the speculation that Hillary was behind the blackout... I certainly have no reason to believe that is so and don't endorse it. I posted it because I thought it was interesting that Hulu had stopped broadcasting TYT... No conspiracy theory from me.
I urge everyone who is perturbed by this further blackout to email Hulu at support.hulu.com. Freedom of speech has never been more important than now. The rep I spoke with encouraged everyone to send an email questioning this action and requesting it be reversed. If we aren't covered by MSM, and are also blocked by alternate media, we have nowhere to turn.

I too implied Clinton was to blame when Gilligan's Island and Pettycoat Junction were cancelled.

Hulu costs money per month like Netflix. Get a ROKU streamer and watch for free!
