Facebook Politicians Are Not Your Friends
This article talks mostly about the effect that Facebook, Youtube, and other Social sites have on politics.
The author starts out by saying that Youtube and Facebook have unmasked many a corrupt politician. Facebook and Twitter have also been very useful tools in recent elections. Rich also compares candidates in the upcoming election, and their use of social networks in reaching their audience. He also makes a striking case, that it makes the reader question how helpful the internet is in political campaigns.
I agree, Youtube really has an effect on politics. I only see adds supporting Ron Johnson on Youtube. They are very annoying. If I was 18, I wouldn't vote for him. Youtube can have a positive effect, but it can also have a negative effecet.
