I find better news from bloggers than I do from the lamestream press. Yes, I know that there is spin and lies in the blogosphere, but I also know that the same occurs as ofter if not more in the lamestream press. At least with blogs, i can get both sides of a story. Some stories such as the Marvin Heemeyer incident in Granby, Colorado was buried in the national media (it was big news in Colorado). I heard about the story in a blog much like this one. It presents a novel approach to fighting city hall.

The cartels are fast losing control on the flow of information. The new media for the peopl and by the people will take over. This new media consists of networks such as the Internet and FrwweWan.

then don’t read those.

obviously there are those out there with no lives who like to know the details of others lives. Look at Hollywood and the tabloids. Blogs, like anything else, is very important and restricting them or criticizing them will and does limit the freedom of self expression. I think it’s important for the news media and government to know our views, not in a sanitized official government or network blog, but in Blogs like this one privately run. Unfortunatly we have to put up with those personal ones as well in order to have this freedom. BTW how many books and TV shows are done detailing the lives of people constantly. just because they are celebs or well known doesn’t make it any better. Knowing where Tom Hanks takes a vacation is just as meaningless and where I take mine. But those are all on OFFICIAL tv and media outlets so it adds more toward credibility even though it isn’t.

but that’s the point.

sure, if all these personal “bloggers” had anything remotely interesting to say, I might be mildly interested or entertained.

mostly all i’ve ever seen are mundane descriptions of their daily lives, grandma’s recipes, and long, drawn-out complaints of unrequited love and/or bouts of depression because of them.

who cares? mabye only their families. in that case, why make it public? just email a newsletter to your family.

the only times it’s ever been “exciting” are when some idiot rags on his boss or employer, or stupidly discloses so-called “company secrets”, then brags to his friends and co-workers about it, the dope then gets fired and/or sued, and the lamestream media jumps on it for a few days.

personal blogs are stupid things.

stick to real news. make a real news weblog and people might be interested. if not, who cares what time you had breakfast, or if your most recent bowel movement was a bit soft?

not me!

There’s a lot more than just personal blogs. this site is full of bloggers who voice their views on the topic of the media cartel. What makes blogs important isn’t so much their acuracy it’s the fact that tens of thousands of people can make their views known publicly and actually have them heard. The news media has always told us what to think, now they have to listen to what we think. Blogs do have an impact when you hear those in power complaining about them.

Its all very well but i suspect the vast majority are never read or maybe have 1 or 2 readers so it begs the question why do people bother and what makes them think that others are interested in their lives
