A Sentence From Glenn Greenwald

Along with a couple from Zachary Drake at Internal Monologue:

Seriously, can someone please teach journalists how to use "Google"?


I think that there should be a panel of "search engine interns" live fact-checking the talking heads on TV. If after the commercial break, someone was found to be lying, they can be called on the bullshit right away.

Extend that to news anchors, and we might have some good information coming out of the MSM.

Thanks for the link. With the Internet so accessible, there's no reason not to catch silly factual errors right away. I think a lot of institutions haven't really internalized the impact of search engines, YouTube, blogs, etc.
