I thought this was a weak, weak article. He conveniently neglected to mention that people will cell phones gave us this video capturing a murder in a chicago schoolyard http://www.myfoxchicago.com/dpp... and this video of a BART police officer shooting a man in the back: http://www.youtube.com/watch.... Weak, weak. He then goes on to say that he doesn't think people twittering from Iran about street protests is very interesting, and that it doesn't change anything. All very weak.

I'd call it "debunker porn." And yes, I'm appalled at how weak it is.

debunker porn, huh? :) Great coinage

Yes, I really like that term. Contrarianism, like being "meta", is often used as a cheap way of faking depth without doing any actual work.
