It’s good to remember that Drudge broke the Monica Lewinsky story.
Or, technically, we should say, Drudge broke the story of the fact that the Washington Post and Newsweek had the Lewinsky story for months, and were sitting on it. They had refused to publish it because, well, probably because it would be bad news for Clinton.
Can you imagine the MSM sitting on the story of a presidential affair if a Republican were the president????
“Imagine if LBJ, Hitler, FDR, Woodrow Wilson or J. Edgar Hoover had been around after the Internet came around.”
Just think if the internet had been around back then. Just
imagine where we would be right now without it. If it
weren’t for the internet we would probably be right in
the middle of a civil war right now.
not sure if they would have been stopped-
Look at the Bundy showdown- and ask friends
and family about what happened-
They will look at you ...as if your nuts-
I can only email them the youtube video-
I still don’t think they believe it!
If Republican staffers were interacting with someone it is doubtful that they were “extremist”.
But there were some out there on the internet that those in the Clinton administration did consider extremist like John Robinson.
These people held and hold extreme beliefs like the government should spend less, regulate less, guard the borders more and spend less time and effort trying to change the American Culture away from traditional American values like personal responsibility and the nuclear family.
The Clintons feared these people with good reason. These people helped expose his lies and disseminated the truth of his duplicity. The national press could no longer completely shield him from the exposure of his immoral and illegal acts.
Unfortunately for the country along with the Internet’s democratization of news gathering and distribution came the Internet Bubble that lifted the economy enough that the people of the US did not want to rock the economic boat by bringing down a president.
So Clinton was able to survive to the end of his term and the country is the worse for it.
I’ll bet Algore regrets inventing the internet now! Probably wouldn’t have very many climate deniers if it were not for the net. You shoulda thought things through albert.
This is, especially, the kind of news he would prefer you not hear. And you won’t from America’s media:
Bill Clinton identified in lawsuit against his former friend and pedophile Jeffrey Epstein who had ‘regular’ orgies at his Caribbean compound that the former president visited multiple times
Now, they've had years to infiltrate. The mods catch some, but there's still a number of the plants around. Just look at the Bundy threads from the beginning of the story.
The shills were touting for .gov against the "deadbeat" rancher who "wouldn't pay his grazing fees".
Bundy can't pay the grazing fees to the BLM until he signs their contract. Once he signs their contract, he's toast.
In the Whitewater days, this story would have rolled over the opposition.
that is how you know there is something wrong with democrats. they FEAR truth getting out
“Republican staffers surf the Internet, interacting with extremists in order to exchange ideas and information.”
And the demoncrats don’t, apparantly
A book named ‘Hillary’s secret war’ from the 90s is required reading on this topic. She immediately saw the danger and tried like hell to give the government actual control over Internet content.
A great read. . And even more amazing when you see that they are still trying to wrest control of it from the public at large. The book was prophesy
A leftist whom I knew at Brown University, was using a computer network and e-mail, in 1985-1986, and some kind of info-web by 1988-1989. The leftist always had the latest Apple Mac and worked for the Brown University campus computer help desk.
The leftist also was using the term “politically correct,” which I’d never heard of before. Being “politically correct” got you a job or entre. You had to be a leftist. The intolerance and exclusivity of the socialist elite, was already apparent.
Later online the WWW, I found various arguments by leftists at the University of Chicago, that their sought-after monopoly over the developing Internet/WWW, was being bypassed by conservatives and Republicans.
Ignored and thereby insulted, the leftists strenuously insisted that conservative news and information be banned because it is “ ... unfairly funded by ‘special interests.’” That’s the usual “disparity” racket from the left that refuses to relate its own virulent control over the info-tainment media (and demands employment termination for being “politically incorrect!”).
The far-left, controversial, contentious organization, PFAW (People for the American Way, founded in 1981) was a major proponent of ending free speech for conservatives. The 1986 Vice-President at PFAW, Melanne Verveer, became the WH Chief of Staff for Hillary Clinton.
The fact that conservatives by their own, personal efforts, were not interested in the leftist/liberal media and would search for more information and news other than leftist spin ... defied for example, the leftists’ mystical shibboleth of “informed sources” that too often have seemed to be “any two egos at a liberal elite establishment’s party, making up the following day’s ‘evening news’ confinements, in between drinks and snorts.”
The left desires that by force of law, you will feed upon the decisions that they expect you to take. You are *not* supposed to think independently nor in any view that opposes what the left gratuitously asserts with extreme prejudice.
The transfer of administrative control over the Internet, from the United States to foreign powers, will end First Amendment protection for content.
Meanwhile, the media never seems to be concerned about the big money behind the left, like George Soros.
In America before the 1920s, and anywhere else long after 1930, the term “liberalism” referred not to socialism but to its opposite, promotion of individual autonomy:It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds;was a liberal position when Theodore Roosevelt famously proclaimed it in 1910. The opposite of TR’s sentiment - what has been called “liberalism” in America since 1930 - is neatly encapsulated by Barak Obama:
”you didn’t build that."It should be obvious that self-hyped “objective” journalism is actually naturally Theodore Roosevelt’s “critic” who never takes the risk of entering the arena but is very forward about criticizing the ones who do. There is no natural distinction between the predilection of the journalist and that of the anti-liberty socialist. Accordingly, journalists treat socialists as “fellow travelers” who, while never to be called “objective” (unless they take a position in journalism), are deserving of help and positive labeling.
Not only do journalists have a unifying common interest in promoting criticism over risk-taking performance, all major journalism institutions (and by implication their employees) are subject to the homogenizing influence of the wire services.People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public - Adam Smith, Wealth of NationsThere is a systematic reason why journalists favor socialists and, therefore, there is no justification for according journalists the presumption of objectivity.
Attention AT&T - Verizon customers Netflix users .
Wondering why all the problems with Netflix streaming?
Netflix users on Verizon and AT&T get raw deal, have little reason for hope
Customers are the victim of stalled negotiations between ISPs and Netflix.

Faster than streaming on Verizon and AT&T.

“Why is Netflix so unreliable?” That’s one of the most common questions asked by Internet users today.
But that question gets asked by customers of some Internet service providers (ISPs) a lot more than customers of others. Netflix’s February rankings show that Google Fiber’s average Netflix speed of 3.74Mbps was more than twice as high as Comcast, AT&T, and Verizon, which are the first, second, and fourth biggest broadband providers in the country. Cablevision, Cox, Suddenlink, and Charter beat the biggest ISPs in the national speed rankings too. RCN, a smaller carrier in the Northeast, last year outperformed all opponents in a speed test of just the Boston area.

Verizon CEO confident about getting payments from Netflix, too
CEO: Netflix/Comcast deal proves Internet market doesn’t need much regulation.
The trend has been a downward one for months on Verizon, Comcast, and AT&T, yet only customers of Comcast have reason to hope it might improve. That’s because Netflix reluctantly agreed to pay Comcast for a direct connection to its network. Already, Netflix streaming on Comcast improved slightly in February and should continue to get better as more traffic goes over the direct connection between Netflix and Comcast.
But what about Netflix customers stuck with Verizon or AT&T? There’s nothing to do but wait.
For all its complaints about the country’s lack of net neutrality rules, Netflix has shown that it’s willing to pay what it calls ISP “tolls” to secure a better experience for users. But so far it’s only struck a deal with Comcast, and that may be because Comcast wanted to avoid extra scrutiny as it tries to convince the US government that it should be able to purchase Time Warner Cable.
Wedbush Securities wrote that Netflix will have a harder time making deals with ISPs other than Comcast.
