By some strange coincidence or maybe, I (or more likely one or more of my links) have been taken off the radar screen of cyber-troopers. The warning sign about malware does not appear since my previous post. It could have been already in my system and undetected by my free (and therefore low protection) anti-virus and anti-spyware programs.
Anyway, the current trend of bloggers seem to be trying to outdo each other on the most exciting or shocking news or allegation. Anything else is considered so mild that the sheer number of bloggers means any attempt at control would be futile.
The tactics of mainstream media seem to be to attack, regardless of lack of credibility bordering on ludicrousness, so long as it damages the reputation of opposition leaders or party. Any police report and action or legal suit can be delayed at will, with no real punitive effect.
Now there is such a lack of credibility in news reports that we have become a nation of cynics who need other sources of information before believing what is or isn't true.
Even the Constitution, written in black on white, can be deliberately misinterpreted, what else can we believe?
