These are interesting times for citizen journalists to live in. With the main stream media under criticism for biased reporting, more people seek outside sources that are reporting the real news, and not just fabricated stories in support of built-in biases.

Anyone thinking that they cannot make a difference is living in denial. With a computer, an Internet connection, and an idea, everything needed to make a difference is at hand. The days of media being controlled by a few powerful groups are over. The biggest revolution taking place today is the Media Revolution. And, as the saying goes, you can't put the genie back into the bottle once it has popped out.

Join the revolution by supporting blogs that express your personal feelings, and contributing your thoughts to the amazing world of c

"To each there comes in their lifetime a special moment when they are figuratively tapped on the shoulder, and offered the chance to do a very special thing, unique to them and fitted to their talents. What a tragedy if that moment finds them unprepared or unqualified for that which could have been their finest hour."

Sir Winston Churchill
