And, you know, if American "bloggers" begin to take these journalists on in foreign countries for their inaccuracies, those journalists are going to fight back. Their ego demands no less. That is when you have like minded bloggers jump into the fray to add their in country perspective. A unified offensive from inside the country and out against those like Sgrena.

At first it'll barely make a ripple but the weakness of these journalists to respond is universal. They'll respond to us, and they'll respond to those in country. Curiosity will lead Italians to visit the sites. It will result in a, for example, growing influence of an Italian alternative news forum that consumers will begin to frequent more. The same can be applied to every country.

The right person(s) could seize on the potential inherant here and make this a global enterprise to open up the press to competition. To expose bias.
