I could log this great garret piece under my weblogging category, but that may be missing the point.
i see no politikblogger achieving public justice for any major issue; what i keep coming across is simply a string of petty private revenges. at the present time, politikbloggers devour each other over the actions of politicians who don’t even know they exist, by reinterpreting carefully selected articles and opinion pieces generated by one of a double-handful of monopolistic media machines, as seen through the rose-colored glasses of their particular political caste. truly, “empty protest” … as is this entire paragraph.
I shut down PhillyFuture because I realized it was “empty protest”. Commenting on the articles of others, and adding nothing to Philly related causes. I couldn’t figure out how to make the transition from punditry, to real activism. Check out HallWatch for a Philly site that is making a difference.
