Correction and clarification

Within the hour of  posting my blog yesterday I found out that it was specifically sarahpalin.com that MSNBC was taking about. Sorry about that.

I still do not think that she has any culpability for the Arizona shootings.

And in my suggestion of a media commissioner I know that there maybe someone who thinks I am in favor of censorship. That is something I thought about after my posting.

I am not against someone freely giving an opinion I disagree with. In fact, I prefer they do so that I know to stay away from them.  But it seems as though people can't disagree now without making personal attacks.

And I think that is the main problem with our news now, look at me now, Facebook, Twitter society.

While I overall like having more news and information networks; so that I can find out more about what is going on in the world, and hear more differencing opinions. I don't like the network vs network sniping.  Nor do I like Bill O'Reilly's Pinheads and Patriots; Keith Olberrmann's Worse, Worser, Worst Person in America; or Glenn Becks daily conspiracy theories.

I really like Facebook and Twitter because they have given me a chance  to reconnect with family and friends; and opens up the chance of getting to know  and make friends with whom I wouldn't normally  get that chance. (Are you reading this Michelle Noonan?)

There is also the downside to Facebook and Twitter.  It also gives people a chance to respond inappropriately.  A while back I posted (sorry I don't like to say tweet) about a specific subject (probably not the right word).  And received a specific response to "go kill yaself". I don't think that is an appropriate response in any way, shape or form.

And it is because of all the things that I have said in my last two posting are why I think there needs to be a solution. And a media commissioner is the idea I came up with. Is is the best idea?  Probably not. But maybe I can get some kind of discussion going so a solution can be found.
