Psst. I have it on good authority that the lizardoid alien from planet Aidemydni who runs this site has left his secret nitrogen-filled chamber underneath Denver International Airport (a very rare occurrence) and is currently fending off hordes of crazed bloggers, somewhere on the east coast. This droid has been told that clues may be found here.

 It's all the same war. To fight the global spread of radical Islam, the FIRST step we need to take is to regain control of the public discourse, so that the harsh truth can be presented to the populace, and not hidden as the MSM currently does. And once the public sees the harsh truth, it will strongly affect voting patterns, changing government policies. Which will lead to better strategies against radical Islam.  For all you people that are curious/fearful about OSM (or wonder what Charles looks like or what he does there, start here (credit where credit is due), follow the link,

Media "Shield" Won't Protect Bloggers [Free Republic mentioned] -- Repeal McCain Feingold. Repeal all restrictions on free speech. Abolish the FEC. Restore the first amendment. Restore freedom. If not, refer to the second amendment. Stock up on ammo.
 There are numerous examples of first-hand news gathering threads here.
One, two, and three are just a few from searching for "FR Exclusive" in the archives.

Newspapers dying? Who'll miss them? -- I'll miss them. I love reading a good paper. But they lately have become nothing but hounds trying to sell gossip. No true reporters anymore, just spin...
 
"Former ABC News reporter/anchor Sam Donaldson is ready to say the last rites for network news because it will soon lose its dominant position as Americans' primary source of news. 'I think it's dead. Sorry,' he said during a breakfast panel Tuesday at the National Association of Broadcasters' convention in Las Vegas." -- Bill McConnell, Broadcasting & Cable, 4/18/2005
"Print is dead... Get over it."-- John Squires, President, Sports Illustrated, Nov. 2004 quoted in the Washington Post 2-20-2005
"...the notion of a neutral, non-partisan mainstream press was, to me at least, worth holding onto.   Now it's pretty much dead, at least as the public sees things." -- Howard Fineman, "The 'Media Party' is over" MSNBC, 1-11-05
"...the mainstream media's monopoly on information is over." --Peggy Noonan, WSJ, Jan. 13, 2005
"Sept. 9, 2004, will be remembered as a paradigm-shifting day in media history. That was the day the 'blogosphere' took down CBS News" -- James Pinkerton, Newsday, Sept. 14, 2004
"The New York Times’ account of the [CNN chief] Eason Jordan resignation provides a general recap of the story they didn’t cover, along with a good dose of excuses and justifications ..." -- Lorie Byrd, Polipundit, 2-12-2005
"The New York Times, CBS and the BBC all had to fire lead personnel over the fact that they just damn well made stuff up out of whole cloth in service to an obviously partisan political agenda."-- New Sisyphus, 3-15-05
"The media can now wistfully reflect on their glory days of the 1970's when the majority of people actually bought into their bullshit."-- Laura K. Van Onymous
"Newspapers do have a few things going for them....you can't line the bird cage with the Internet or wrap fish in a cable news channel." -- Neal Boortz

Mainstream Offers Inaccurate, Silly Opinion On Blogs-- In the world of politics, blogging has opened up a huge field for right-of-centre thinkers to communicate with each other in real time. That did not exist prior to the internet, which has become an invaluable tool for spreading our ideas. The liberals and socialists always had a compliant MSM with a monopoly or near-monopoly on disseminating information in the past.

An article on political blogs

 Hugh Hewitt described it, as an internet guide or "cyber sherpa".

Bloggers, Money Now Weapons in Information War--Expect the MSM to focus on who is "paying" the bloggers for their opinions. Never mind that Roggio and Yon (and other "Milbloggers") are typically ex-military types who 1) know quite a bit about what is really going on from their contacts who are active 2) don't sit around the hotel bar when they get in country, rather they armor up and go on patrol to see for themselves and 3) actually like their fellow American soldiers and don't see them as "the enemy" as do many of the 60s generation who now infest the editorial boards of too many MSM outlets.

Blog bombshell hits Grits(Canadian Lib's loosing it!)
 
 Check out Paul Wells blog today.. [ 1, 2 ] -- TORONTO (CP) - A high-ranking official within the Liberal Party of Canada resigned Monday after he made disparaging comments on his blog about NDP Leader Jack Layton and his wife, NDP candidate Olivia Chow.

The poorly chosen words of a high-ranking executive of the Liberal Party of Canada (Ontario) hsa resulted in his resignation.

Comments (2) : Comments (31) : "Note the Liberal spin - Klander was just a volunteer, nothing more. I guess being one of Paul Martin's inner circle isn't an "official" role. And being a senior executive of the Party is an "unofficial" role." Comments (64)

At The Break, It's All Tied Up

In my rush to wrap up before the Christmas break, I missed the last Ipsos/CanWest polling on the Canadian elections -- one which appears to dispute a number of other media polling done in the last few weeks. Ipsos reports that the national numbers have the Conservatives trailing the Liberals by a single point (33-32). Even in the Liberal stronghold of Ontario, the Tories have remained within two points of the Grits, 40-38: Comments (7)  "I remain in total shock at what a disaster the Liberal's campaign has been so far. Even though the polls the Captain cites here are interesting, I do think that the Liberal internal polls are far worse. I have never seen a campaign smack of such desperation." Canada starts to show the signs of civil war.

It wasn't just the UN putting on a false front. For all the video wave replays, back-patting of the "generousity of Canadians" and uncritical coverage of Paul Martin's photo op fiasco in Sri Lanka, the tsunami aid story has received precious little followup in Canadian media. It wasn't until May that we learned that only $50,000 of the $425 million pledged had actually left Ottawa.

Now, the Financial Times has released results of an investigation into how the UN vacuumed up tsunami aid dollars;

Shades of CIDA.

Of course, this is the same "media community" who have remained virtually silent on Liberal party connections to the UN Oil-For-Food scandal.

Is the silence because they simply don't know - or because they know too much?

Barefoot And Blogless

A lonely gatekeeper pines for the good old days, when ordinary citizens knew their place in the political debate;

Via Lost Budgie who chirps, "Wait until he discovers that ordinary people in their pyjamas are now putting out "TV Talk Shows" and delivering them via the web..."

Posted by Kate at 10:49 AM | Comments (45)
The blogs are doing the job that the MSM is not. Sure some folks write rot, but then so is much of the MSM. The difference is that I prefer to have the freedom of choice about what I read and what I don't.  I do see the blogosphere as  democratizing the world we live in.
I see a lot of good points brought forward in the previous comments. The one that hooked me in the first place was the "real time" experience. How many times over the course of this election alone has the blogoshere scooped the story days ahead of the MSM?
