The awful thing of it is that i can't read the news. All that i see any
where is some one else's biased opinion. And I dont trust a lot of it. On the other hand i think that most bloggers and most newspersons (shaded P.C creeping in,) think that they are doing their job and reproducing the truth as they recieved it. most of the time politics seems to overwhelm my Sense of self worth, and I feel like I don't really have a right to my own opinion.With so many well informed opinions how could I possibly know anything about the world. This must be that Orwellian dis-information effect.

On the other hand when I search the news, I find things that I never would have believed were real. If the Idiotarian principle applies to both right and left-wing, the propagation of new ideas in the new media runs faster than anyone thought. We have gone far beyond ditto-heads, but Dawkins' meme concept still holds true. And Rushkoff's media virus concept also applies however hysterical he might have sounded in that book....
