Sankyouveddymuch Mensley. I am still crying over you being in middle school when the Clinton thing happened (feeling old...) Nonetheless, love the description of "tyrannical regime." And I remember the "All American Chocolate Cake" we had for your birthday... definitely chocolation extraordinaire!

Randy! Wonderful post. I remember even as a middle-schooler, watching the Clinton debacle unfold (and unfold and unfold) I became disillusioned with the unfairness, shameless sensationalism and lack of integrity shown by the MSM. Media-wise, we've really been living as peasants. I, too, look at the ever-expanding blogosphere as a step towards tearing down this tyrannical regime and bringing democracy to information. I also enjoyed the comments about cake. I personally recommend the "All American Chocolate Cake" available at Costco. It is the utmost in chocolation.

Mike, good points there. The blogosphere, to me, seems more real. Sure, the fact-checking is not as strict as in a good news organization—but then, how many good news organizations are left? Gentlemen, have you checked out OhmyNews.com? It started in South Korea as a news blog where regular folks reported on news and has expanded into an English edition. The stories are not huge, but I believe that is a matter of time.

I just checked it out and the English version can be found here. They seem to be similar to Pajamas Media that picks up some of my posts from time to time. They just picked up this post as a matter of fact. :)

I had forgotten about Pajamas Media. Yes, you are right: they are similar. I think what might differ is I have a feeling (though I have not tried it yet) that bloggers contribute directly to Ohmynews.com rather than their own blogs which in turn get picked up. The result, nevertheless, is identical: stories from the people on the ground, who are often eyewitnesses to the situation, and are not tainted by the MSM’s need to dumb down and sensationalize.

That is very nice. Sounds completely grass roots. I'll keep my eye out for it.
