Craigslist Founder on Media and Google Nexus One

Old media has not been fact checking for a long time. Before the whole 'Omaba is Muslim' BS thing. I think it was ABC who worked with a 'source' to make fake documents about Bush (made in Word 2000, and was suppost to look like it was made in the 1960s??)

One problem I see is much of the old media (Print) is failing, current media (CNN, FOX, etc) are really trying to get a handle on new media, but are not pushing the envelope. They need to go forward in a bold way.

I sell on CL for a living and am honest. What bothers me are women who contact me about something I'm selling but then won't respond to my e-mail once they find out I'm a guy. I appreciate women need to be cautious but I'll go out of my way to meet somewhere safe with plenty of people around. Tonight I had a women contact me twice about something I'm selling but like clockwork refuse to respond once I contacted her.

Thank you for making that interview! I know not many people will watch it because it is 20 minutes long, but ironically, these are the same people who should watch it most.

If you want to know why the media is so awful, and why the USA has become so corrupt, you have to google the word Bilderberg. If you don't really want to know the truth, and want to live the superficial or ethnocentric life, then you should leave the media and reinsert your head into the sand.

Media is moving in the right direction. Theres enough outlets to find the truth. Yeah, there is misinformation and lack of fact checking, but it has always been there to some degree, and I would rather speculate about what current actions could mean in the future, now, then only hear the verified facts, and not get the whole picture til its too late.

There will always be people that prefer to believe conspiracy theories, and that is fine too, those types never believe old media anyway.

Craigslist is one of the wonders of the internet area; I use it every single day.

I love the fact that Internet is the new age media, almost everything uses the internet now. Lets face it though more and more people are reading internet feeds, rather than newspapers, I think the internet is killing off the other forms of media, including televised media. But Internet will always be better, as long as service providers don't end up adding extra charges for news services. Only downside to internet for news, is rumours being started, because one person can cause a serious rumour
