There Are Many Ways To Filter News

One of my favorite websites in the Power Line Blog.  Yesterday, they posted the IDF videos Israel released as their entry into the propaganda war that is being fought along with the regular war in Gaza.  You Tube had posted the videos but then took them down.  I am told they are back up, but only for registered viewers over 18.  Anyway, yesterday Power Line Blog was attacked by what is called a 'denial-of-service attack'.  I have no idea exactly what this is, but I do know that every time I tried to link to Power Line yesterday, my computer acted like it forget how to load anything.  The bloggers at Power Line Blog know the attack on their website came from six places in the U.S., but that's all.   They have taken steps to prevent future instances.

This story make me think.  I don't know if we will see the 'fairness doctrine' or its less evil cousin 'local programming act' under Barack Obama.  If either one of those is enacted, conservative talk radio will in all likelihood be driven to satellite radio or internet radio.  I guess if conservative talk is driven to the internet, there will have to be steps taken to prevent 'denial-of-service attacks'.  It will also be interesting to see how much of any opposition to Obama comes from the right and how much comes from the left.
