A citizen journalist in search of a story. Well, the one I found was similar to what the Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Steve Visser saw with his story entitled: Giuliani nearly drowned out by rival’s supporters.

 Ron Paul’s supporters were out in force and quite vocal as you will see in my video. However, at Atlanta’s TV station 11Alive nary a word of the opposition. It was all about a calm orderly visit filled with sound bites. So their reality was very different than my reality. Which is better for the audience, a slick news production or YouTubie me? I will leave that for you to decide.  However, I think if you watch my nutty little production and 11Alive’s, you will actually have a better understanding of the truth than if you just watched either — which I believe scores a point for citizen journalism.


The video lasts three minutes.
