PDF2007: 2008 Web Video Odyssey
By Micah L. Sifry, 05/18/2007 - 4:17pm

Our "2008 Web Video Odyssey," which was produced by the good folks at PoliticsTV, is up on YouTube:


Disappointing Video

I was very disappointed that the video showed a clip of Edwards (and it was one that invaded his privacy when getting ready for a talk show interview) from 2004--and the only candidate who over and over got air time in a negative sense (that was really old too)--instead of displaying more from the recent campaign. Hillary Clinton was hit, and so was Newt. I saw some positive bias towards Barack Obama.

I was excited about Politics TV until I saw this vlog. Now I cannot view the site as a credible source. Instead, this vlog matches what the MSM is doing, and I don't see it as a form of personal democracy. It is another medium site of political destruction of negative ads. We see too many of those on MSM as it is.
