Techoncrati: real news or soap box

Ella made a astute comment about the content of information on Technocrati.
I would like to address that in my blog today. Is all the content on Technocrati "relieable" ? Simple answer is Yes and No. Not everyone is a trained journalist so there is a fair amopunt bias in the blogs but some blogs are lifted from reporters so it is quite reliable.

I would like to take the example of the political turmoil in 23rd congressional district (I live in the district) Truth is the Republican canidate very unexpectantly left the race. Another, peice of truth is she endorssed the democratic canidate instead of the conservate/Republican canadate. Two blogs had the truth with "their" spin on the reason why which has not been stated by her. One blog was discussing the censorship of democrats at public events (stated that police were ordered to taze him if he asked a question.) I do not feel that is truth and need to be taken with a HUGE grain of salt.

I remind you dear reads of my blog about the discussion we had concerning reliable sources. I would say more so here as yours truely is now an offical reporter for Technocrati. It was simple process of completing a profile and submiting it to the editorial officals of the site. So Bog on folks!
George reporting some where in cyperspace.
