Why did I create this Blog ?

Traditionally journalists are the arbiters of what can be said and what cannot said. Journalists had more power to censor opponents than politicians. Journalists invented the term 'Politically Correct'. Journalists could dismiss those that disagree as green inked cranks. Journalists steadily distanced themselves from opposing views and came to believe they are omnipotent.

Journalists are human they not infallible, they make human mistakes, they suffer from human fallibility. In the past there there was no way to effectively challenge what journalists reported, what journalists believed.

The Internet and Blogs in particular have changed that situation, it has given the ordinary people a voice, a voice that can be heard from one side of the world to the other.

Welcome to the Information age.
