I don’t write a lot about politics on this blog, for a bunch of reasons — including the fact that I don’t really know that much about politics, and the fact that I don’t really care that much about politics — but I feel compelled to mention the recent interview<\/a> between former POTUS Bill Clinton and Chris “I’m wearing my dad’s hairpiece” Wallace on Fox.

But that’s not really the interesting part, I don’t think (although I have to say Clinton showed a lot more fire than I had associated with the man previously). I think it’s fascinating how in the not-too-distant past, we would have been forced to either take Fox’s word for how the interview went — using their carefully selected clips<\/a> — or take the word of Clinton fans with their clips. Instead, if we want to, we can simply watch the entire interview on YouTube (or Google, since YouTube got the old “notice and takedown” message from Fox) and decide for ourselves.<\/p>\n

I think we’ve all gotten kind of used to that idea, but I would still argue that it’s a very powerful thing. More here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
