Has Comedy Central gotten tired of YouTube?

The media industry has been pretty wary of Google for a while, now, and it looks like Comedy Central’s parent, Viacom, has had enough. Jeff writes in to let us know that YouTube has taken down many of the clips of those three shows at the request of an unknown third party — who it seems reasonable to assume is Viacom.

I have to say, Google purchasing YouTube certainly is doing nothing for the visitors. In fact, the site seems to be going downhill slowly. It will speed up if news like this keeps up.
