Interesting rant, but...
03.12.2007 12:49
...what's your evidence to support this? Which citizen reporter revealed this stuff first?
As far as I can see, all the main revelations of the dodgy donations to the Government have come about through investigations by the mainstream press (see The Evening Standard, the Guardian, and so on).
There's been some good stuff from a few political bloggers, like Guido Fawkes, but they've mostly been playing catch-up on this.
Far from smearing Yates, the right-wing papers would have *loved* it if his investigation has been a success. And much of the investigation was sparked by... exposes by newspapers like the Sunday Times.
I'm looking forward to the time when citizen journalism does claim some good scoops in the UK (as it sort of has in America, with the Drudge Report). But it's not happened yet, so it looks silly to boast about it. This happened before with DeMenezes - there was boasting on here that citizen journalism had saved the day, which ignored the fact that all the main revelations about his innocence had been uncovered by organisations like ITN and The Independent.
