Along with my posts on MANUFACTURING CONSENT recently I see today an Obama advisor is recommending the govt get busy undermining credibility of and among bloggers.
"Cass Sunstein, a Harvard law professor, co-wrote an academic article entitled "Conspiracy Theories: Causes and Cures," in which he argued that the government should stealthily infiltrate groups that pose alternative theories on historical events via "chat rooms, online social networks, or even real-space groups and attempt to undermine" those groups.
As head of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Sunstein is in charge of "overseeing policies relating to privacy, information quality, and statistical programs," according to the White House Web site."
This is nothing new, it is just surprising to hear people say we have a free press in USA. Freedom means "free to" say what you like and "free from" govt generated misinformation.
