And it's even more true today. The lies (both Clinton's and CBS's) were all the way around the world before the truth caught up to them.
Gatekeepers! We don't need no stinkin gatekeepers!
See - your post is a perfect example of fact-checking in the blogosphere.
Great, rational sentiment is posted. I presume you googled to see if the quote was accurate and with whom it originated, and voila! (voy-lah as they say in Rio Linda) the truth surfaces and the "editing" (albeit now a very public and very collaborative function) is properly accomplished.
This is actually a wonderful and FAIR revision of the pseudo "consensus" nonsense that I have seen foisted on groups by people who have or want to control a situation. As previously practiced, the group was manipulated into settling for (by "consensus") what the power brokers wanted in the first place. But the blogosphere allows everyone to be equal and removes the power brokers from their priveleged pedestal - yet "consensus" is truly achieved!
The blogosphere allows people to truly filter through the information, fact-check, and reach a group conclusion, with EVERYONE having an opportunity to post and provide information for fact checking and to weigh in on where the truth is.
