Comments on: Video bloggers ready to incite 'media revolution'

This weekend's Vloggercon will be a rallying point for enthusiasts to plot their ragtag online uprising against commercial TV.

Too Bad for Vloggers...

It's too bad that the move against Net Neutrality in Washington
could put an end to vlogging's potential life--just as it's
beginning...

I doubt that Vorizon, AT&T, and the others will want to help
vlogging along, since it could seriously hinder their cable/TV
business.

Get ready for the slow lane on vlogger data...

You got that right.

Oh, they are a heinous bunch; I posted on that a while back:

Also, dig the NSA/Verizon and NAACP connection:

We'll see w'happens next.

Peace.

As a legal video podcaster I am appalled.

The government oppression of Mr. Wolf must stop, just as surely as it must stop against me or any other citizen who in any way exposes government corruption. More on this shortly.

I have a background as a former editor and photojournalist for an Ohio weekly (Call & Post) and reporter at a daily (IndyStar) prior to law school, where I extensively studied Civil Rights.

Last week I issued a comment on Crime and Federalism on Mr. Wolf's arrest as being violative of all the principles of Journalism that pertain to the public's right to receive derivative information as protected by the reporter's right not to divulge protected sources. In fact I even pointed out that reporters who do divulge those sources are being sued under Promissory Estoppel, so they are now in fact whipsawed.

As you can see, I made my points by and through the example of one Judith Miller, of whom I am no great fan, which is wholly irrelevant when it comes to the privilege that must be afforded to the Fourth Estate in order for it to effectively serve its mission.

I applaud Mr. Wolf's pioneerism as one of the world's first video bloggers -- because I am, too:

I am the first and only lawyer to post actual court documents and courtroom footage of a First Amendment case involving a bad cop, and to host a video podcast site detailing such a case, at KingCast.net no less. We've had video up since spring of 1995.

KingCast.net is now joined by a sister site that also uses video to expose corruption, aptly named Justiceforkids.net. That's why Dvorak Uncensored links to me regarding Michael Gannon's arrest for video/audio taping a police officer in his own home!

In fact, I mention the Revolution specifically in one of my KingCast short films, specifically "Live Revolution."

And in a couple of blawg entries, such as this one:

Yesterday I discussed the Ohio Supreme Court, eminent domain and property rights:

Ooopsy.

Forgot this:

They have not managed to lock me up, as I noted in my "prisonblog" segments as I note at the bottom of this post:

http://christopher-king.blogspot.com/2006/03/rollin-or-sold-down-river.html

Wherein I say exactly what Mr. Wolf must be thinking:

"They wanna' lock me up? I'll start "prisonblawg" since all you need is a damn phone to blawg anymore, and like Attica, we'll foment a damn bloody insurrection up in that [facility]; document abuses in real time, too. That's what I'm serving up; watch my movies, coming soon to a new website and... ahem..... server near you. Near everywhere."

And you can hear some of the phonecasts right here:

But they have tried to shut me down 7 times:
