Direct to the public?

Is sure causing the press to have problems. That is the new presidential administration using facebook, blogs and youtube and circumventing the press. It is nice to have some direct presentations other than the press.

However there is some new angles that will come about. Recently the administration published a youtube video of the President playing basketball with some children. Sure, not likely to change international policy. Yet we will not know if the President missed some shots.

The press was not allowed to attend, the administration edited the tape and presented only one side of the issue.

We are seeing some changes in the way information is passed to the public and the accessability of the information. We will see where this goes.
