Tell Congress to support the Internet Freedom Preservation Act 2008 (HR 5353) to stop Internet blocking and protect Net Neutrality. - waggdogg, on 07/01/2008, -0/+2"A new generation of largely unregulated...." Who is regulating the NY times or other new papers? Someone posted "So much on the internet is un-educated opinion" What about these movie stars that have become experts, after they make a few movies? All of a sudden they are educated and have all the answers. Right!
Leave our internet alone and let us do our thing. Liberal or Conservative. - inactive, on 06/30/2008, -1/+3I'd believe random people over the b/s that is in the MSM any day.

- fireashes, on 07/01/2008, -0/+1I think the political freelancers include digg users, facebook users, reddit users and other web2.0 users.
- inactive, on 06/30/2008, -4/+5Quick regulate the internet so the only news reported is Fox news propaganda and *****!
I hope I live to see the day all of the old media dies and the unregulated, uncensored internet becomes the standard. - zephris, on 06/30/2008, -0/+1Huh, a New York Times article you have to register or log in for. No surprise. Buried for the stupidity of submitting such an article.
- Barackalypse, on 06/30/2008, -0/+1There may also be something else going on here, perhaps a loss in the perceived legitimacy and respect for candidates and the political process. At some point with Congress having a sub-20 approval rating, the people may just lose all faith in the process and the people and when that happens the floodgates open wide for all sorts of attacks against them. Some of the media being produced these days would have been absolutely unheard of 75 years ago, people would have found it insulting and petty. Now its all partisan and confrontational.
- TedLW30101, on 06/30/2008, -0/+1Dugg down for using the term 'unregulated'.
NYT is a fossil desperately trying to hold onto readership by discrediting others. The sad fact is that they have contributed more to the perspective that they are biased and pretty lax in confirming sources and material themselves.
Does the internet house a bunch of crap? Yes. Does the internet house a lot of true and accurate reports? Yes.
No different than a newspaper.
No one person should create a judgement by any one source of information. It's through the open flow of information (good and bad) that one should determine a perspective. - masondixon, on 07/06/2008, -0/+0and there is this:
Digital Protest of the Republican Convention
*****.com — In the Spirit of 4th of July, this site built a simple web-flooder for the Republican National Convention on Sept 1st-4th. They will even send you a reminder email. Is the fabled "democracy of the internet" finally appearing?

- amoirae, on 06/30/2008, -1/+1The word is poseur, idiot.
- milobennett, on 06/30/2008, -2/+2Quick regulate the internet so the only news reported is CNN news propaganda and *****!
- Screwy1138, on 06/30/2008, -3/+2The freedom of information these technologies allow is great and beyond valuable.
But we must also be aware of how much armchair politics and 'experts' there are. So much on the internet is un-educated opinion. Not that MSM is any different, but it's still something to be careful of.
It does us no good to be so influenced by the random people that push their views the hardest on the internet. - sandiegodude, on 06/30/2008, -2/+1There is an article I just read in Time (this week? last? hell, I don't remember) talking about this very same thing. The old print media is doing their best to be like the new online media, via blogs, e-updates, etc, while the bloggers are finally getting respect from the "old guard" of traditional media outlets. Obama is "doing the Internet right" by not only encouraging supporters to use social community sites (as well as starting his own based on the stylings of myspace) but also is getting loads of completely free exposure from fans who are spreading the word via their blogs and articles.
... Of course this is a double edged sword. Gaffs which were easily swept under the rug before now spread like Wildfire, and even silly ones (like the emblem on Obama's podium for his speech in Alaska, or McCain's word mixup in his Fox News interview where he said he didn't really love America until after his time as a P.O.W.) end up causing quite a stir. - asiantoast, on 06/30/2008, -1/+0the way the internet has impacted the way we are able to be free is amazing.
There is a site called BRINK that i really love - it's all about user sumbitted content and a celebration of individuality and expression.
check it out:
www.brink.com - andruslinda, on 06/30/2008, -4/+0In todays world everything changes so quickly, from just tv channels to satilite plus technical issies way beyond the average items. You tube to share sories and news from evry corner of the earth.
- inactive, on 06/30/2008, -10/+1We need to implement laws to prevent this. Terrorists could use the internet to influence elections.
