Re: [videoblogging] BSP: "Should Journalist Josh Wolf Be Afraid?" --SF Weekly
It's difficult for the average person to know the affiliations and biases of the "real" news organizations. For example, Italy has two or more newsweeklies more or less on the Time/Newsweek format. I know that one is owned by Berlusconi's empire, but I can't remember which one. So I don't bother to read either (I read the Economist instead). Probably most educated Italians do know exactly who owns what, but there is a large mass of uneducated people who don't.

Yeah, I realized right after hitting "send" that I phrased it wrong. I meant news, not your personal account of what you thought *should* have happened. Sorry about that. My point is just that I, as an outsider to the case, can't trust your footage anymore than I can trust the police's version of the story. With so-called citizen journalists the readers/viewers have an even worse chance of figuring out affiliations and bias.

I do not know the person who has been charged with placing fireworks under the police car. In regards to the first question, I'm not really sure that I am not doing both. In presenting news of the demonstration I have created an excerpted video of what I saw observing the demonstration. I can't really say that it isn't my personal version of what transpired, but in a sense that's what news is, an observers version of what they feel has transpired.
