Online Pressure and Real Results
There are certainly plenty of posts about election protection issues, and I am too lazy to post links to them here. Anyway, Network-Centric Adovcacy points out a quote from ABC news indicating that a large volume of emails is pushing them to take a look at voting issues.
It sort of hits two important themes, that you already know about.
1) The media is being forced to listen to its viewers/readers
2) The online pressure can yield real-world results.
I don’t really have anything interesting to say about this. It is more of a pat on the back really… especially considering the dKos 12 went 0-12, the Dean Dozen didn’t do much better, and that whole Dean in Iowa debacle. Take heart, fellow geeks.
Yay us.
