Video Blogger Lindsay Campbell Arrested
Lindsay Campbell, the host of the Moblogic was arrested Wednesday at a New York protest against the three police officers who were acquitted in the Sean Bell trial.
For those not familiar with the case, three New York police officers in plain clothes shot an unarmed Sean Bell 50 times. Campbell’s crime on the day was to not move away from the legal protest.
The show covering the arrest can be watched in full above, and it’s recommended viewing. Campbell explores the role of journalism and asks whether the media should be on the sidelines or should actually stand up for what they believe in. She finishes by saying “I don’t want to be the greedy journalist, I want to be the one who adds my 2 cents.”
Campbell has just proved once again why she’s the smartest and perhaps most interesting in the new wave of video bloggers. It takes guts to put yourself in a situation where you get arrested, but most of all she’s proved why video blogging is a medium with a depth of thought that is quickly surpassing television. If there is an award for video blog episodes, I want to nominate Campbell for this.

Too bad that the black community only has retards like Sharpton to stand up for them. I hope you get Obama in the House to represent the brilliance in among black Americans. Black Americans have been very poorly represented since Dr. King was so sadly taken from us.

Wow! And in Houston a CIA NOC is gunned down and nobody cares. Not a peep from the MSM. Just another coverup of another Fascist Amerika crime. The police have been getting away with murder…forever. The “blue tribe!”
I hope there is better coverage on Lindsay and that someone is there protecting her rights! Of course the Constitution went out long ago…long before the Bush clan helped put Adolph Hitlers party in power. The Fourth Reich is alive and well in Britania and Amerika.
Go Lindsay!!!

I think this is where and how bloggers (vloggers, whatever) keep getting laughed out of legitimate journalistic circles – adding your “two cents” is not journalism – it’s editorializing. I’m not saying it’s wrong, but please call it what it is. Having a camera nad a mic may make one “media”, but it by no means makes one a journalist.
