Check this out. Very insightful speech on Video Journalism Revolution.

The need for net neutrality is undeniable, as we know that knowledge is power. Whether this is the power over others, or simply the power of self-determination, allowing existing power structures to determine our flow of information is deplorable.
Take that Faux News, Bam!
Nice stuff adbusters more of this please

Gosh, has this guy, O'Reilly, ever had any credibility to begin with..?
By the way, Al Jazeera and the Real News do a better job of covering the news than any of the featured interviewees - who don't talk about the basic issue in news coverage: money. Money to buy reporters plane tickets. Money to run web sites, money to pay bills. money to pay salaries - and where is the money coming from? That's the problem - and the "non-profit" corporate press is really not too different from the corporate press in that regard. Even the focus on FOX is disingenuous - FOX is bad, but CNN and NPR are equally bad. All were (and are) diehard war supporters. Don't get fooled - look at the news product, not the plumage. Fluff Post isn't so different from the Dunce Report, after all.
Cool music...the interviews aren't bad either. I love Dead Prez.
Good, thanks for letting these people speak for themselves, it was a nice way to see some of the bright ideas floating around this conference.
Keep'em coming.
