The Blogosphere at War:

December 28, 2006

A paper by PJM’s Sydney editor Richard Fernandez aims “to describe how the blogosphere works; to situate it vis-a-vis the mainstream media and to indicate some of the ways it can be used as a weapon of information warfare.The reader may find many of the ideas half-baked, and the reader would be right. But perhaps this flawed little monograph can contribute in some small way to a discussion of what the blogosphere is and what it’s future might be. I truly believe that ‘it is possible that in the long run the global public will come to rely on fellow Internet users to learn about the world more than it will from professional journalists.’” (Belmont Club)

It’s fascinating how left-wing bloggers and right-wing bloggers alike believe that events are determined by the media.

Which both groups believe is in opposition to them.
