World Wide Web Is Wild Wild West Of Politics
I’ve always been amazed at the things that go on in the online world on politics. I’ve also always been amazed at what people will do to for money, but I’ve save that for another post.
The correct response to all of the following wild (or at least moderately entertaining) news updates should be “Are you serious?”
- It appears Jeff Gannon is back in action, ahem, and being welcomed with open arms at the national press club. Gannon former White House reporter/escort is set to be on a panel discussing bloggers and online journalism… with Wonkette.
- Whether it’s real or not bloggers are swarming around the Schiavo ‘Talking Points’ Memo. Perhaps the memo has the same author as the ‘CBS Memo’ seeing as they have the same last name.
- Remember Denis Kucinich, he still wants your money. On April 5, he’ll relaunch http://www.kucinich.us, the Web site originally used for his 2004 Presidential campaign.
- New Jersey might have another Dean style campaign on its hands as Joe Territo reports Sen. Jon Corzine's (D-NJ) gubernatorial campaign "is planning to seriously use weblogs to network with the public." If you have a blog and support Corzine, he'll even add you to his blogroll.
- Jeff Jarvis is telling secrets about Star blogging. In one of the worst-kept secrets around, Arianna Huffington, blogger and blog lover, is starting an online thing -- group blog, zine, whatever -- that is supposed to be attracting big names to little media.
-Townhall.com, one of the nation's most active conservative Web sites, announced recently that it has split from parent company the Heritage Foundation. It's a deliberate strategy for Townhall — home to 68 columnists and destination reading for 1.5 million people a month.
- It’s a real hoot at the Republican "March Madness Presidential Tournament." Congressman Tom Tancredo is unexpectedly doing very well, making him consider a presidential instead of a congressional bid. I hope he’s not serious.
CHAMPIONSHIP GAME: April 4.
