Today's Webtip: Räumung

Another view of events.

As difficult as it might be for some people to come to terms with the end of the classic media's role as gatekeeper, I have to admit it makes me giddy.

Watching the world expand into a billion realities makes me happy. It puts a lot more pressure on the individual to actually confront the news head-on. People will continue to filter things based on their own perceptions, but at least they have more info to base them on.

As much as I would like to break into a rant about the fourth estate and tradional power structures and the changes we are witnessing, I think I will save it for some other time. It's all just my opinion anyways, and I'm sure most of you have already come to your own conclusion.

Freiraum statt Leere: Claus Pirschner über die Hausbesetzung in der Triester Straße

That said, I'm still amazed at how things have changed, and a street side video of the räumung of the Triesterstraße 114 is a nice example of that change.

And yes, I am being obtuse. Sleep deprivation does that to me.
