Blog Culture Separating Real Politics From Imperialist Propaganda
—
We’ve all noticed the degree of fear-driven speculation over Asian and Middle Eastern crises soar to staggering heights ever since the tragedy of September 11th. As a result, it has been observed on more than one occasion that North American and European policy makers have adopted a rather imperialist approach to the handling of such crises as and when they surface, former US President George W. Bush being an excellent example of the likes of politicians backing the use of force to dictate the resolutions to such crises.
Today’s televised news agencies have followed suit, delivering information from around the world in a manner that raises more eye brows than it consoles anxious hearts, raising the bar of conflict and fear to new levels on even issues that may not deserve such attention. This ofcourse is in the monetary interests of the media, competition being of utmost importance in the reporting circles of today. However, there is a niche of reporters and news broadcasters who remain unscathed, and that is the Blogosphere.
Bloggers from around the world provide such a large volume of live streaming information, many through popular social networks and bookmarking websites such as Twitter and Facebook, that even if one was to ignore the effects of different backgrounds, ethnicities, political inclinations and motives of such a large number of writers from all over the globe, the reliability of information delivered by them would certainly overwhelm that of any modern televised agencies; a simple case of statistics determined from a huge sample of the world’s population, inevitably being skewed in one direction or another when the subject of discussion as an issue taken from an endless pit of current international affairs. Just the sheer volume of input, and consensus of opinion amidst millions and millions of bloggers sharing unmoderated pieces of information with each other and the world, provides a very dependable and fascinating plethora of news, the quality of which in terms of the provision of intricate details, truths, scenarios, and personal experiences, can never be matched by even the largest news organizations with the largest teams of reports and an overabundance of the latest cutting edge technology available to mankind.
An upcoming blog portal I came across the other day was http://www.meanpolitics.com/. The angle the authors have taken towards representation of facts after quite apparently conducting their own analyses of contemporary issues, is quite fascinating. The nature of the posts on this website clearly shows that the authors believe in delivering unadulterated reviews of what is happening in the world today, some of the articles really stirring one’s thoughts. I would highly recommend paying them a visit. They are an excellent example of what the blogosphere has to offer the world today, live information as it should be presented and reviewed, with a pinch of salt to melt the ice.
