Robert Bluey over at Townhall.com has an interesting piece today about 2 fellows trying to level the internet playing field in regards to influencing the media and Keeping Democrats Accountable
" Longtime congressional staffers Michael Brady and Michael Giuliani are fed up with reporters who cover Congress. Frustrated by their failure to investigate stories and tired of the liberal bias, Brady and Giuliani have vowed to make it right -- by becoming investigative journalists themselves.
The pair doesn't have the resources -- not to mention the money -- of traditional Capitol Hill correspondents. But their desire to tell the untold truth about members of Congress fuels their new enterprise.
And something else drives Brady and Giuliani: a desire to see Democrats deal with the same scrutiny that faced Republicans in 2006.
Their week-old Web site, MAJORITY ACCOUNTABILITY PROJECT, combines journalism and political activism -- a mixture that's put many liberal blogs on the map. Brady and Giuliani said they saw a void in the center-right blogosphere. Many conservative bloggers consider themselves pundits, but shun the term "journalist" and don't regard themselves as activists. "
We need to support these guys!

But the groupthink and bias has become so much a part of the Leftstream media that they no longer can resist the urge to add bias, omission or just "helpfully" direct their readers towards certain conclusions.
Journalism will become free. Why should I listen to a paid talking head, hours after the fact, add spin in that same old robotic voice, when I can see live YouTube video of the event right now. And from a person who has no dog in the hunt other than the fact they happen to have a camera pointing at the action.
