Online, GOP Is Playing Catch-Up

Democrats Have Big Edge on Web

Besides TechRepublican, the group blog started two weeks ago by All, who worked as communications director for Rep. Jack Kingston (R-Ga.), there is QubeTV, founded in March as an alternative to what one of its founders, Charlie Gerow, a former Reagan campaign aide, calls “the liberal bias” of YouTube.  [my emphasis]

YouTube has a liberal Bias???!!!  YouTube???!!!  (Click here for the entire article.)   ANYBODY can post to the site!  ANYBODY!!!  By definition, it is impossible for the site to have any kind of bias!  (with the exception of “objectionable” and copyrighted material)

“But look at the short history of online politics,” Glover said. “For Republicans, the Internet is where bad things happen. Take [former U.S. senator] George Allen and his ‘macaca’ moment. . . . You can kind of understand why Republicans have this almost instinctive fear of the Internet, where the mob rules.“  [my emphasis]

“WHERE THE MOB RULES”???!!!  Somebody tell me that that is not an elitist and condescending remark! How typical of the Repugnicans!  (not that the Democratic leadership is much better…)
