Real journalism is back.
« on: August 31, 2008, 11:06:32 PM »
What is this? Could it be *gasp* actual journalism going on here? I remember journalism. But it died when people stopped watching and reading news and started watching reality TV.

Good job. You've broken the story of the decade.  Now you have to call the big three networks, and the big cable news channels to spread the word. :D

MSNBC was running the story as "RUMOR: Blogosphere alive with stories of..." in their actual NEWS SCROLL today, which was huge.  They have hundreds of millions of $ to lose if they get a story wrong, and they're in bed with God knows who.

But in this case, you have kids cross-referencing myspace accounts, hospital records, flight manifests, etc.  Everything is on youtube or google.  There is no 'sanitizing' this - in fact, the fact that Alaska has been pulling pics of her off their site all day, and that the hospital removed the birth list - shows that they are hiding things. 

911 was fishy, and a lot of people are pissed they fell for it.  Now, an entire generation of kids looks at every event with a curious eye.  You can't fool people anymore.  Note that many sites, like Drudgereport.com, are reporting on the story as "Left-ish blogger report..." so they don't have to take credit for it - but they still want the story out as much as anyone.

Palin may resign this week from the ticket and be replaced with Romney, I'm sure of that.  For the first time, the online 'blogosphere' may have changed the course of HISTORY.

And for the people here who only believe what FOX or CNN tells them, and who dismiss any questioning of official account of events as "crazt CT conspiracy theory talk"...

Well, they just got smacked by the reality of the world.  People - particularly powerful people - do lie about huge things all the time.  And the main 5 news channels do ignore it a lot of the time.

The crazys CTers may be right about something historical here.

I wouldn't go giving these media clowns to much credit...  They fail more often than not.
