(62,325 posts)citizen journalists and have NOT known them to be what you just described, UNLESS they are AGENTS PROVOCATEURS. We KNOW how much the Police and Politicians HATE to have their actions documented.
This, imo, is a very irresponsible OP considering how much good work has been done by those ordinary people doing the work the press will not do.
And then, as in OWS, because of that work of documenting everything, thousands of innocent people falsely arrested, had their cases thrown out of court when the cops lies were clearly apparent in those videos.
You must not be following the right people. Most likely plants as condemning Citizen journalism IS part of the tactics of those with so much to hide.
WE NEED CITIZEN JOURNALISM. Please stop helping those who are working so hard to silence the people. Just avoid the infiltrator, and follow those who have gained a reputation of trust.
