This Forbes article shows that the old gate keepers of information--old media --are finding themselves blinded by the speed with which webloggers are capturing and dispersing information--by orders of magnitude faster.
Not surprisingly now, old media --the politically well connected old media--seek to combat the competition coming from webloggers for control of information by burdening us with regulations that old-media are unwilling to shoulder themselves.
We welcome the challenge. Without formal political connections and power we will still win the free speech and information war. Old media in no way or manner is ready to disclose their conflicts of interest and their political bias. Webloggers will have an easier time complying with transparency than old media ever would--if at all--and ever will.
We call for national broadcast journalists to disclose their political bias, their political view and make their journalistic views transparent by disclosing who they vote for. Demand that journalists and old-media disclose their political perspective.
