After promising to maintain a civilized tone, Sen. Barack Obama has sent a shot across the bow of Sen. Hillary Clinton’s campaign in an advertisement for his 2008 bid for the presidency now appearing on YouTube. Or did he? The video — a biting commentary on Clinton’s presumed frontrunner status for the Democratic nomination — suggests it was generated by Obama’s campaign. However, Obama told talk show host Larry King that his campaign knew nothing about the ad until it popped up on YouTube, according to press reports.
You say "People are too willing to trust something if it sounds official or is labeled with a prestigious-sounding name or organization." I find you saying that ironic. Should we not trust the established news agencies ? I wish that would happen, because they all have hidden agendas. I think a forum where anyone can express opinions and where things would average out is much more credible that FOX or CNN or for that matter many of the news sites (like yours). This is participative democracy and I hope it prevails.
