This was a very blunt look at the Alt-media and the Blogosphere with John Helmer, Dimitri Lascaris and me, and could stir up a bit of controversy. Well, I guess that was the intent.
So much of it is repetitious. There’s rarely any diversity of guests and opinions, and definitely no debate. What will most of these people do when the war in Ukraine is over?
John and Dimitri examined the motivations of the Alt-media and bloggers. Is it money, the search for truth, or ideological persuasion?
We all agreed, modern day journalism isn’t just about news reporting, but has to be about educating and assisting the formation of a movement for peace, justice, and equality.
John issued this very sobering thought. “We are foot soldiers in a movement that doesn’t exist!” Harking back to reporting during the War in Vietnam, and the Civil Rights Movement.
