Fast break 
They Came from Cleveland
All the news that's fit to link
| | If I were working for a Presidential candidate for 2008, one of the things I'd do right now is raise money for a good political news network for the Internet. One that represents all points of view and takes no advertising, makes no profit. |
| | Get donations from the usual places. Use your star power to attract money to upgrade the flow of political information. This is the kind of use of the Internet that pays off. It's an application of "the more you send them away the more they come back." |
| | That's a leading question. Here's one place it might go: Since Fox and blogs came along, all political journalism is both personal and — to the extent that persons that care about politics have positions to advance — biased. |
| | That's a theory. I'm not sure it's so. And I would love to see what Dave's calling for come into being. Because I do think that most of the issues that matter are distorted by loud voices at the political poles. |
| | For example, I'm concerned right now that Net Neutrality, a complex issue (which I think has to do with a definition of the Internet) is turning into a left vs. right issue (left for, right against). Most voters are neither all-right nor all-left. Most issues aren't, either. But it seems that most people who care about politics are on a side. |
| | Can we change that? Don't know. |
