Youtube and it's impact, a danger to politicians? (No Spam)
Posted: Tue Oct 24, 2006 12:59 am
EDIT: Forgot to place this in the title. This is a NO SPAM Topic.
YouTube - Fox News YouTube Story Only Includes Republican Responses
YouTube - Did George W Bush Invade Iraq to Avenge His Daddy?
YouTube - Google YouTube Purchase Means End of Fox News?
And other videos-
YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.
Now, just a note for the above, there's obviously more videos you can search yourselves. While it is rather one sided by me having "LiberalViewer" as all my examples, that doesn't mean you can't search yourself for other people who are involved.
LiberalViewer does make valid points though. Youtube started off as something really small, and now is insanely huge. It's big enough to effect politicians, and since there are a LOT of people who actually go to youtube now that it's out, in my honest opinion, people are getting a broader view of the news and politics. Sure, there are still people who believe that republicans are the best or democrats are better, but I think that day and age is dying. With the internet being so gargantuan, even with just youtube, I actually haven't heard anybody speak that way.
Before, I had heard people say "I voted for X candidate because he's a republican/democrat." Ever since, ever since youtube came out, I've never heard this.
So, I guess the point of this thread and where topic discussion starts are these questions-
Do you think youtube has an impact on how people view politics and do you think that is going to effect most if not all americans by a future date?
Do you think that there will be politicians, who run for presidency, will at least be careful of there words if not actually legit in what they say due to youtube?
And do you think that youtube's main purpose for it's political side is to capture the bad points of politics, or do you see benefits in this, benefits as in not just for politicians but for people as well?
I leave this without my opinion for now, and if there is something I either agree or disagree on, then I will respond.
