Double double, toil and trouble

Fire Burn and cauldron bubble

Our egos here at Silicon Valley Truthiness Bureau are still pretty bruised over the curious fact that Google apparently removed us from their regular search index, three days after we posted "The Truthiness of Measure A." Was it something we said?

But... there is hope. The folks at the Berkman Center for Law and Society at Harvard have been very helpful. They are sensitive to clever weasel stuff like this, just hard to prove. http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/home

Also, for those experiencing similar unexplained difficulties or other issues in citizen journalism, you may want to visit Dan Gillmor's citizen media website:http://citmedia.org

The Truthiness Bureau is happy to know that Mr. Gillmor and Berkeley have teamed up to do a CA congressional race media project that mirrors (on a much larger scale, of course) our obsession with similar issues over press coverage on Measure A(slanted and incomplete arguments, among other things.) http://citmedia.org/blog/2006/10/24/voteguide-soft-launch

The Berkeley law (Boalt) cyber clinic website is:

Ain't life grand? When open source democracy and citizen journalism weasel around the weasels?
