I'm sure they felt the same way about TV when it first came out, now they are brainwashed by Fox. If you haven't seen Outfoxed: Murdock's war on Journalism. I recommend it. If anyone want's a copy, send me a pm.

I'm going to quote a from John Lock (The net guy, not the political theorist), who swings between brilliance and insanity:

Quote:
These markets are conversations. Their members communicate in language that is natural, open, honest, direct, funny and often shocking. Whether explaining or complaining, joking or serious, the human voice is unmistakably genuine. It can't be faked.


Most corporations, on the other hand, only know how to talk in the soothing, humorless monotone of the mission statement, marketing brochure, and your-call-is-important-to-us busy signal. Same old tone, same old lies. No wonder networked markets have no respect for companies unable or unwilling to speak as they do.

But learning to speak in a human voice is not some trick, nor will corporations convince us they are human with lip service about "listening to customers." They will only sound human when they empower real human beings to speak on their behalf.
Those of us that hang out on discussion boards know this. Real information is like crack. Once you get used to it, you can't stand broadcast.

Are you planning on targeting the Right directly, or indirectly through the more savvy 'Netizens?
I don't know, I never proposed that I be the leader... I'm just thinking shit up.
