I love that that's the conclusion-- if he'd answered either 8 or 11, the 'outrage' would be exactly the same. Besides which, his family live in most of them, and they are not owned by him personally, etc etc etc. Biggest non-story in a long time. His answer could have been phrased better but I don't care if he knows how many properties he owns, or shares of stock, or mutual funds, or bonds, or bank acounts, off the top of his head. I would love it though, if Barack knew that Russia's on the UN Security Council and can veto resolutions, or if he knew we don't have 58 states, or if he knew how many half-brothers he had and maybe sent them a couple of bucks now and again. In any case, social media has gotten some stories noticed, and held certain stories in the spotlight when the mainstream dismissed them. Edwards and the Enquirer, in my opinion, would have continued being ignored if social media hadn't been reporting on the reporting itself. “(between 8 and 11 depending on how you count them, totaly value around $14 mill).”

The main difference I see is that most of it is blatantly one-sided and makes no qualms about it (there is nothing wrong with this) because they have less interests to answer to (kind of like politicians).

Why would new media be covering politics if regular, random people weren't covering politics? Ask yourself, how many people do you know that talk politics a lot, or that feel the need to update you about politics in person. Probably not too many, right?

Or McCain's admission that he's a complete boob when it comes to the Net. That got picked up by social media too. Twitter and Facebook? Not so much. But they're just transport vehicles for info that's on blogs. Blogs are and will continue to be primary sources of news for this campaign. cheers, dt Or… maybe you just missed it.

Old Media no longer has a stranglehold dictating to the masses what they consider news, since technology allows anyone with a Cell Phone to publish it to the web via Photos, Video, SMS, etc. Over the years, mainstream media became more about making $$ rather than investigative journalism. Let us hope this new movement keeps some aspect of truth for a few decades before selling out. New Media (Blogs, Twitter, SMS) contains the hunger and passion that Old Media had when it first began.
