Soccer needs to implement a diving penalty like hockey. I’ve never seen so many arms to the mid-section afflict the face! If anything is affecting the flow of the game it is all of the pathetic divers attempting to draw a penalty.

Here’s a very timely article that pretty much sums up how I feel about media in the modern age: The internet: Everything you ever need to know.

The title is sarcastic hyperbole, but it’s well written and hits on a few very important points. He brings up the analogy of how the printing press revolutionized culture and society, and that we’re going through a similar transformation with the Interwebs. Bottom line, we’re in the middle of a massive transformation and it’s pretty much impossible to predict the outcomes until we have a bit of hindsight to properly judge.

A lot of people predicted that the printing press would be the end of society as we know it, and that ended up being mostly true for those who were making that prediction. For everyone else it was the beginning of society as we know it.

[quote=Allan from Fallbrook]Watch Fox and get one slant; read Huffington Post and get another. What’s the answer?[/quote]

I agree that this is a problem. To me it falls upon the individual to make an educated decision based on the evidence at hand. And I agree that the problem then becomes having valid evidence upon which to make a decision — this is always a problem and one not isolated to new media. Read Wall St Journal and get one slant; read the Financial Times and get another. Unfortunately most people will gravitate towards the source that re-affirms their pre-existing beliefs. I see this as a fault of the consumer of journalism, not as a fault of journalism itself. We can’t rely on journalism to make our decisions for us.

It’s not much different than being a juror on a trial. Each side has an agenda and presents evidence supporting said agenda. It is your job and responsibility as a juror and likewise a consumer of journalism to make an educated decision based on the evidence at hand.
