If you are following the amazing events currently unfolding in Iran in the wake of their turbulent election, then YouTube will give you a much better sense of what is happening than the mainstream media. Yesterday, while the dramatic protests were unfolding, CNN held an extended forum on healthcare. The other cable news channels weren't much more enlightening in their coverage of events from Iran.
Where does a web surfer go to find out about the turbulence taking place there? For me, and a lot of other people, the natural gathering place for a video view from Iran is YouTube where many Iranian bloggers have been uploading their highly interesting videos some which you can see, along with a sampling of the accompanying commentary, below the fold. So turn away from those cable news networks which are only giving relatively shallow coverage of the turbulence in Iran and welcome to the Brave New World of Web video reporting from bloggers on the scene of the action.

PING!
Nice. This suggests how the news of the future may flow to the internet. All it takes is people on the spot uploading videos and news reports and then a process of spotting the best ones. With search engines like google, and with YouTube, who needs news reporters, especially since the typical AP stringer is usually committed to the other side?
The MSM in the US has become no better then Pravda and Radio Moscow during the communist days.
It will only get worse.
Actually Pravda has been semi-privatized and consistently puts out a better product than the NY Times.

Seems BHO has more schmoozing to do to get Mahmoud's fist unclinched eh?
This POTUS is a colossal arrogant bastard.
The story has been updated with that video. Thanx.
It is a huge story; a Middle East country going through nothing less significant than the Czech Velvet Revolution, the U.S.Civil War, French Revolution and Vietnam's Tet all rolled in a bundle - and the MSM chose to ignore it!!!
I wonder how many days it will take the MSM to get the story out - or maybe they don't want to since it embarrasses Obama and his outreach to a fraudulent regime.
I bet you won't hear the MSM tell you that half the anti-riot police in the streets of Tehran were speaking Arabic (Iranians speak Farsi) and are believed to be Hezbollah thugs imported from Lebanon.
Twitter, via some guy in downtown Tehran, told me. I'm 73.... and I'm joining Twitter. It works!!!
But...but...but it was the weekend! Breaking news never happens on the weekend, especially in summer when the prime pundits are out of town.
In all seriousness, I don't know why CNN just didn't change its feed to CNN International (which it did the night Princess Diana died) or why C-SPAN didn't provide a long stretch of BBC coverage, as it occasionally does with breaking news if Congress isn't in session.
“Actually Pravda has been semi-privatized and consistently puts out a better product than the NY Times.”
Well, ANYTHING would be better then the Slimes.
Here is a recent Pravda piece:

Yeah, Fox ran a Sean Hannity rerun tonight. YAWN!
That's like being the best surfer in Idaho, but you're right. We won't get any actual facts from the Monica Media, we'll have to count on blogs and overseas reports.
Who cares?
They’ve proven they’re irrelevant!
For those who can’t watch for whatever reason: a peaceful crowd is disrupted by a squad of motorcycle police in armor. The crowd counterattacks the motorcycle cops and throws them off their bikes, which they burn in the street. The now-dismounted cops are then each surrounded by a ring of protestors who protect them from any abuse from the crowd and escort them to a area of relative safety, then give them water and check them over for injuries.
Truly compelling.
Online Free Media at its Zenith!
Long live free speech.
I wonder if the police officer they caught was the one wielding his baton from the motorcycle.
