Must Read Blogs and Op-Ed’s — March 2, 2010
Has technology ruined the political debate? Richard Reeves wrote a great Op-Ed regarding the “new” behavior of Washington Politicians in a world of blackberries, twitteratti, and nonstop news coverage. Reeves theorizes that Democrats and Republicans no longer spend anytime together, which prevents any type of bipartisanship to occur. Instead they receive their talking points from party leaders rather than the American people. Congress assumes that the people will fall in line, despite the laws that are being enacted. However, it remains blind to the people using the same tools (facebook, twitter, social media, even blackberries) that they are using, and are much more educated about their activities. The question is — will they ever listen?
