Internet Media Influences

After researching this weeks blog assignment for my class I found some rather interesting and bothersome issues within the online media. I have never really kept up with the political world that surrounds me. The reason why I don't find political issues to be worth while is that it will probably provide me with more stress and frustration on top of my busy schedule. With the time I did spend researching this topic it came to me that the political world is really turning into a celebrity world. After reading an article found here http://www.techcrunch.com/2007/02/14/techpresident-tracking-candidate-use-of-myspace-youtube-adsense/
It is clear to me that the campaigning rules are a bit too flexible. Advertisements,commercials and speeches are fake enough we do not need an easier more powerful solution to brain wash america. We have had a lot of amazing presidents in the past but I feel these presidents believed in true american values.

The Incident of Barack Obama's team taking over the myspace page of a supporter was surely a wrong thing to do. This should be considered a form of unfair campaign practice. Not to mention it shows how influential the campaigns actually are. This can be dangerous if considered in certain ways.

In response to the names of websites and there affect towards website visitors is another problematic area to consider. There are all sorts of negative sites about certain individuals that can ruin a persons image and reputation even if that person has done nothing wrong. People will believe what they see more then what they hear. President bush is a good example since his name is found almost everywhere online and in a negative manner.
