It's nearly 3 AM

I still cannot come up with a thesis about political reality on YouTube... I'm thinking of switching my paper topic to wikipedia, but its late. I guess I'm more interested in YouTube, but I thought I'd share this with the class, cause its pretty great. Its an article from the Times about Sarah Palin's wikipedia entry upon her nomination. The Internet is supposed to be democratizing everything, but can democracy really be anonymous?

Comments:
Maybe the flaw is in the political system and not the internet?

Sorry I just hate to think there might be something wrong with the internet :)
 
Wikipedia is certainly one of the easiest and most effective ways of political propagada. If the editing by Young was not fabricating the fact, I think it is acceptable. Afterall, most people know that wikipedia is not politcally free when it comes to controversies.
