The website I shall quote here is youtube, because it is the best example for the topic that I am writing on tonight.

This series of videos displays peoples mere ignorance of the democratic running presidential candidate, but what it also shows, is the freedom that the internet has given to people to sway political opinion. The internet has changed democracy in so many levels. One of the simplest things it has changed is that now everyone can go to the presidential candidates websites (here and here). Another thing that has changed, is the fact that people can put their own opinions on the internet, and no one can do anything about it. This video for instance, is about a guy who went to two of the McCain, Palin Rallys, and asked everyone he could find if they thought that Obama was a terrorist. He can publicise that because we have sites like Youtube now. The internet has brought upon us an era of free speech and free information, and it affects todays democratic community by letting the populous know of the opinions of any person who wants to put out those opinions.
