Newly released Clinton document describes Internet as right wing tool of conspiracy commerce

A previously unreleased White House document among the 7,500 published by the Clinton presidential library Friday warns that the burgeoning Internet of 1995 is being seized by the right wing and turned into a communication stream of conspiracy commerce.
The 1995 report, titled The Communication Stream of Conspiracy Commerce, describes the Internet as a new method of communication employed by the right wing and used to convey their fringe stories into legitimate subjects of coverage by the mainstream media.
Among those fringe stories were the now-infamous reports and lawsuits alleging extra-martial affairs with the president, including accusations from model and actress Gennifer Flowers, and murmurings about former Arkansas state employee Paula Jones, Mashable reports.
The White House counsels office and Democratic National Committee produced the report, which explains how Republican staffers surf the Internet, and describes it as one of the major and most dynamic modes of communication.
The Internet can link people, groups and organizations together instantly, the report reads. Moreover, it allows an extraordinary amount of unregulated data and information to be located in one area and available to all. The right wing has seized upon the internet as a means of communicating its ideas to people. Moreover, evidence exists that Republican staffers surf the internet, interacting with extremists in order to exchange ideas and information.
Cry havoc and let slip the tweets of war.
But...but...Al Gore created the internet.
They will REGULATE our data...?
In other words CENSORSHIP.
The first amendment swiftly follows the second.
First time I’ve ever heard Media Matters, ThinkProgress, Huffy Poast, MSDNC ad nauseam described as “right wing tools”.

ALL TURNED OUT TO BE TRUE!!!!! So much for fringe stories
unregulated data and information
That says it all. Back in 1995 they admitted they regulate information.
As for the right wing connecting groups to groups, I guess they hadn’t considered that left wing groups might do the same. Such as The Huffington Post and Moveon.org to name a few.
I have always like conspiracy theories, they are so interesting but don’t really believe most of them.
As far as the Clintons tho, I would believe about anything. I would not be surprised at all if both of them were guilty of murder. Actually multiple murders.
If only.
I was going to ask Vince Foster and the David Koresh folks what they think, but remembered they aren't here anymore.
I remember when this came out. IIRC wasn’t it a Sid Vicious (Blumenthal) production?

would have been a lot better.
Post of the day!
Yeah those flash mobs are all right wing extremist
According to Clinton, his presidence suffered its scandals because of a synergy between the Right and the mainstream press. The right fabricated stories of scandal, and the mainstream press dutifully passed them on. This explanation was first tried out on the public in 1994 when Clinton's political adviser, James Carville, described the occult process as a "Media Food Chain." By 1997 White House staffers had composed, presumably at taxpayers' expense, a 331-page report on the Food Chain.Titled "Communication Stream of Conspiracy Commerce," it depicted the flow of these shocking fabrications, advancing from their point of origin on the Right and heading into the mainstream press. The Right's sources were identified: London's Sunday Telegraph, Richard Scaife's Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Times, and the American Spectator. In an early post-presidential interview Clinton explained to Newsweek magazine, "We live in an historical period when the fanaticism of America is on the right, and it has an apparatus to support it."
For all his public smiles Clinton is an angry man; and throughout his retirement he has frequently given vent to this anger, often at odd moments.
