Fox News Declares Cyberwar on Liberal Blogosphere
,----[ Quote ]
| How do you annoy the maximum number of
| Liberal blogs with minimal effort? If
| you're Fox News, all you have to do is shut
| down the YouTube channel that supplies them
| with infuriating O'Reilly Factor clips.
| They did this today!
|
| Spend even a few minutes on a politically-
| inclined blog that leans to the left, and
| you'll spot the little red-and-white
| "News1News" logo (above) attached to the
| upper-left corner a YouTube clip, usually
| of Glenn Beck ranting hilariously or
| otherwise being horrible. News1News
| specializes in capturing and uploading Fox
| bloviator's most outrageous statements for
| all of eternity. And each day, we bloggersâ
| from the Huffington Post, Mediaite,
| Truthdig, Gawker, etc.âplucked newsworthy
| clips from News1News' Youtube channel,
| surrounded them with our words, and put
| them on our sites. (In fact, Mediaite's
| feature "Your Moment of Glenn" is all
| News1News clips.) From all this blog love,
| News1News videos had more than 20 million
| cumulative views by the time it was shut
| down. It was the simple, convenient way to
| stoke Liberal ire!

Consent will be required for cookies in Europe
,----[ Quote ]
| A law that demands consent to internet
| cookies has been approved and will be in
| force across the EU within 18 months. It is
| so breathtakingly stupid that the normally
| law-abiding business may be tempted to bend
| the rules to breaking point.

Glenn Beck Not Allowed To Rape And Murder An Internet Meme
,----[ Quote ]
| Back in September, we wrote about Glenn
| Beck's misguided attempt to gain control
| over the domain name used as part of an
| internet meme that is critical of Glenn
| Beck,
| GlennBeckRapedAndMurderedAYoungGirlIn1990.com
| (it's a dead site now, keep reading). If
| you're unfamiliar with the meme, it's
| mocking a favorite tactic of various cable
| news talk show hosts, to "ask questions"
| that are accusatory in nature, whether or
| not there's any substance to back them up.
| Glenn Beck didn't accuse the site of
| defamation or anything, but filed a domain
| name complaint, saying that it violated his
| trademark.
