[dale watch] quiz and post

First the quiz - who is the odd one out and why?

Now the post - Iain Dale refers to the new Blog Watch Police:

A project by the COI’s Media Monitoring Unit is considering how to add blogs to its regular summaries of government coverage in mainstream press or television. The summaries are used across Whitehall from ministers to departmental communications teams, often as an early warning service on issues rising up the public’s agenda.

Bull s--t!

You know the thing which galls me the most? It's not so much the surveillance and shut down tactics or the paranoid fear that bloggers can say what they wish, it's the lying hypocrisy of pretending it's for another purpose.

  2. I suspect that they regulalarly read through the well known blogs anyway.

    They possibly even have a check at smaller ones from time to time.

    After all, they need to know what people are saying.

  3. But James, it will be good for your hit count.
