Published 3/23/2005 1:02 PM
CHICAGO, March 23 (UPI) -- There may be more liberal blogs than conservative ones on the Internet, but the conservatives appear to be much more adept at employing the technology of the medium to market their message and influence public opinion, experts told UPI's The Web.Take last year's presidential election. Research shows conservatives used the blogs -- a contraction for the term, Web logs -- to talk down Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry on the Internet, perhaps making themselves one of the decisive factors in the November election's outcome."Who were the bloggers writing about?" asks the new report, "The Political Blogosphere and the 2004 U.S. Election: Divided They Blog, from Intelliseek's BlogPulse project." It answers its own question, "Curiously, 59 percent of the mentions of John Kerry came from right-leaning bloggers, while 53 percent of the mentions of George W. Bush came from left-leaning bloggers."

Bev Harris Fights Election Fraud/Incompetence
Mark Gabrish Conlan/Zenger's Newsmagazine,

Bev Harris, principal author of "Black Box Voting" and founder of the blackboxvoting.org Web site, came to San Diego February 26 to speak at the First Unitarian-Universalist Church in Hillcrest. Her message: the American voting system is fundamentally flawed, as much if not more from sheer incompetence as deliberate attempts to rig outcomes. She also argues that contracting with private corporations to run elections equipment, especially on proprietary computer software, is inappropriate and runs counter to the principle of transparency that should apply in elections.

The HIV "Super-Virus" Hype
Mark Gabrish Conlan/Zenger's Newsmagazine,

A critique from an AIDS dissident perspective of the recent reports of a so-called “super-strain” of HIV infecting a New York City man. The print version in the April 2005 “Zenger’s Newsmagazine” erroneously stated that the individual had contracted major opportunistic infections and had died. In fact he was diagnosed with AIDS on the basis of fatigue, sore throat, malaise and a low CD4 T-cell blood count, and at this writing is still alive. The version posted below has been corrected.

Towards a Critical Analysis of Media EmergenC
sd indymedia, prometheus radio project, rAsD,

From October 6th-9th, as the National Association of Broadcasters was
holding their annual Radio Road Show in San Diego, a group of media
activists converged to try to illuminate what is wrong with the corporate
media and to strengthen independent, community autonomous media. This
convergence was called the Media emergenC, highlighting the two themes of
emergency and emergence. With 4 days of talks, film screenings, marches,
panels, forums and independent media making, the media activists, mostly
composed of members of San Diego Indymedia and radioActive sanDiego, but
including media makers from as far away as New York and Philadelphia,
tried to confront the NAB as had been done in many other cities, but also
to challenge the independent media movement and push it forward.

We've written this self-critical document in the hope of creating more
critical dialogue within the Indymedia community and the independent media
movement. It is our hope that people will read this, give us feedback and
make more documents like this critiquing their own events and actions and
circulate those for discussion as well. We hope that this can be read and
discussed at the upcoming Indyconference in Texas this month
( http://www.indyconference.org/).

The Take
7pm - donation

In suburban Buenos Aires, thirty unemployed auto-parts workers walk into their idle factory, roll out sleeping mats and refuse to leave. All they want is to re-start the silent machines. But this simple act - the take - has the power to turn the globalization debate on its head. Armed only with slingshots and an abiding faith in shop-floor democracy, the workers face off against the bosses, bankers and a whole system that sees their beloved factories as nothing more than scrap metal for sale. With The Take, director Avi Lewis, one of Canada's most outspoken journalists, and writer Naomi Klein, author of the international bestseller No Logo, champion a radical economic manifesto for the 21st century
