Frum TV
Frum websites are competing against each other in supplying "Kosher" video entertainment for the frum community. The battle over TV was won years ago. It took time but many eventually got rid or did not own a tv set. However the emergence of the internet has made video viewing as kosher and acceptable. Frum news websites now boast about their entertaining You tube video page. These videos are not newsworthy but simply entertaining, there is nothing Jewish or frum about them. Visitors to these websites assume the content is kosher and clean, but many of these clips are neither. People will spend hours viewing these entertaining videos. Is this not tv all over again?

Many supposedly "frum" news websites are not kosher either.
