Oliver on Internet Political Reporting
Location: BlogsTeam Blog    
Posted by: bsiblog 3/5/2008
In compiling his periodic Da List (see left), Oliver reads an awful lot of news. He has this to say about the state of political reporting on the web:

"No longer will I post political links. Almost every time I have
investigated a political story, the story is either false or at least
misleading. When I take the time, and do the research, reading very long legal papers. Often only to find out the documents are fairly benign. Conversely the real problem is never mentioned in the political story.

This whole scenario constantly repeated, makes me feel sad inside.Sad that I believed, worse if I repeated it, and a whole tear stainedbib for the person who wrote it. The internet is boiling over with political hacks. I would wager that over 90% of it is a waste of your time, and the person writing the stories' time.
   
One way to see if it is worth your time, scroll directly to the
bottom of the article and check for sources and references. If there are no sources or references then it is internet voodoo politics.

If you want to read a US Government Law yourself see
http://thomas.loc.gov. Never take anyones word about the law,
especially if they heard about it on the internet. Oh, and I read
stuff posted all across the spectrum, this isn't just a
liberal/conservative problem, it has infected the whole grisly
enchilada."
