POPSCould Rove/Bush have actually killed this guy? Brings the Wellstone crash back in to focus. This is really scary stuff. Personally, I fight against conspiracy theories and this one would shock Oliver Stone. So, let's see what the blogosphere can do. The right and the left should work to get their teeth in to this one.

POPSChamber of Commerce Shills for Telco's In a effort to combat Barrack Obama's explicit (http://obama.senate.gov/podcast/060608-network_neutral/) support for network neutrality laws the Chamber of Commerce has come out with a study that makes the claim that the Internet has been able to grow because of a lack of network neutrality laws. I am looking forward to reading the study.

POPSGoogle, Telcos, Net Neutrality Woth Barrack Obama vocally supporting Network Neutrality, this dialogue will get more intense and more interesting. Seems to me there are some real issues here: Informed Citizenry, Facilitation of Democracy, First Amendment, etc

POPSCitizen Journalism And Steve Jobbs It is simply silly to decry "citizen journalism" because one "citizen journalist" got the story wrong, intentionally or otherwise. Actually, the term "citizen journalism" is silly. It is a way for big media to differentiate themselves from the "citizens". People say things on the street. People say things in their home, at work, on the train, and in email, Twitter and on their blogs. This is all information. The fact that it continues to be necessary to think about what you hear and run it through filters is no different for any information source. I certainly would never take a CNN, or Fox or MSNBC news story as gospel. Would you?
