From Marshall Kirkpatrick at Splashcast comes word of an interesting development<\/a> at YouTube: the launch of a dedicated politics “channel,” hosted (if that’s the right word) by news and politics editor Steve Grove, which aims to aggregate all<\/a> the political video clips that get uploaded to the Tube (so far there are only 10, and the channel has about 500 subscribers).<\/p>\n

With YouTube hosting a politics channel, and Huffington Post working with<\/a> NewAssignment.net to field a bunch of citizen journalists, the upcoming U.S. election campaign could be very interesting indeed. If YouTube were still a small startup, this might be seen as a “power to the people” kind of move, but now that the video site is part of the Googleplex, there are already some — like Republican media strategist David All — who are concerned about<\/a> the amount of power and influence Google has.<\/p>\n
