The New York Times (free registration) has an interesting article on how YouTube is used during US elections.

Senator George Allen, the Virginian Republican, has been caught on tape at a campaign calling someone a “macaca”.

This tape has quickly been uploaded on YouTube. Due to the popularity of this YouTube video, CNN has reused the tape.

Loic Le Meur has published a story about a French socialist candidate caught lying in public in his own blog.

Is is interesting to see Internet, and especially blogs, being a new source of information. Unfortunately the source of the information is not often checked and it could be used as a source of propaganda.

It is up to each reader to check the information and I am not sure that everybody is doing that.
