This was footage by Chuck Olsen of Rocketboom.

More proof that Edwards supports Netrooters as active Citizen Journalists as part of the political communications process. Hope more Prez 2008 candidates will do this. We need to see more "behind the scenes" with not only the candidate, but with those who are with the candidates and for them to share their "on the road" stories.

The woman interviewed is DU's Ultraist (who was invited as a CJ), along with Robert Scoble of Podtech.

More to come.

Up with People Politics!

2. My favorite comment--so true of a DU'er

Ultraist:

"It's a bad-ass community if he allows bloggers on his plane."


Chuck Olsen:
"John Edwards is going to kick Samuel L. Jackson's **s. You heard it here first."





:bounce: :kick:

5. Actually..

I said, "bad ass candidate." Bad ass as in super cool. (The plane engine muffles the sound a bit). I really wasn't thinking about the camera rolling. LOL!

John Edwards, the first President to allow bloggers on his plane!

BTW, could you imagine bubble boy Bush ever doing something like this? God forbid, they let commoners get that close to him.

8. I crossposted this thread to GD.....

3. I love seeing this live journals

Youtube and citizen Journalism a great thing, and thanks for John Edwards being so open to it.

Thanks love seeing these kinds of post.

6. I agree dk

I dropped this thread link off in the GD with hopes more DUers will also be inspired to do more citizen journalism than to nitpick the candidates.

We can't trust the MSM, but at least we have each other !

4. this is the wave of the future

MSM has shown how bankrupt it is politically and morally. The blogosphere is a way for the people to speak truth.

[ultraist]

7. Agree---

The corporate media's priority is profit. It's all about the benjamins---they care not about the truth.
