The Associated Press has made it harder for Americans to see the shocking collapse of one of the candidates for president on a New York City street Sunday.
The AP has deleted a tweet of video of Hillary Clinton after the 9/11 memorial ceremony as we no longer have distribution rights.

“The AP has deleted a tweet of video of Hillary Clinton after the 9/11 memorial ceremony as we no longer have distribution rights,” the agency posted late Sunday night.
The original video, posted by apparent passer-by Zdenek Gazda, went viral earlier in the day as it was the only source of proof of what happened to Clinton.

Gazda’s posted has been retweeted over 36,000 times.
While the AP may not have express distribution rights, nothing stops them from tweeting a link to the amateur video — except maybe bias or an effort to limit the damage to Hillary Clinton’s presidential prospects.
