No, the "fair use" exemption to (U.S.) copyright law was created to allow for news reporting (among other things.)

Does stuff on youtube not have the same copyright issues as other videos?

You do not surrender any copyright protection by posting on YouTube, but you do assign some of your rights to YouTube (you have read the user agreement and terms of service before you posted a video on YouTube, right?)

Can I use Youtube videos in projects without getting into trouble?

Umm, are you asking "will I get caught?" No, you probably would never get caught. Does that mean it's legal (or right?) No, using any creative work without permission (regardless of the medium you retrieved it from) is wrong.
