Blogs & Politicians

Recently there has been a brief e-mail discussion about what Jeremy Blaber puts up on his blog--my comment is that it is his blog, and reflects his opinions re: news and commentary.

Here is an article from CQ Politics (Congressional Quarterly) on how politicians are trying to tap into the blogosphere.

David Balducci's latest book --The Whole Truth (Grand Central Pub., 2008) is about "perception management" or spinning the truth in the age of the internet & multi media (this goes way beyond Wag the Dog.

The internet has a LOT potential, it holds a lot of information and misinformaiton. The object is learning to critically assess the information.

Now Madsen's Blog...thats different. We hang on every word he posts! Just kidding.

All of our Blogs are just opinions. Our philosphies bleed into every article we send out to the web.

I do my best to play fair, but Im no more immune to personal leanings than the next blogger.

I should stop in and participate in the UCDW meetings more.
