Last week, Secretary of State John Kerry met at the United States Embassy in Basilia, Brazil, as cnsnews.com reported. While speaking to State Department workers and their families, Kerry explained in regards of surveillance that he is not too fond of the Internet. “This little thing called the Internet… makes it much harder to govern,” Kerry detailed.
“Well, folks…Ever since the end of the Cold War, forces have been unleashed that were tampered down for centuries by dictators, and that was complicated further by this little thing called the internet and the ability of people everywhere to communicate instantaneously and to have more information coming at them in one day than most people can process in months or a year.”

I wouldn't say he's bashing the internet. It sounds like he's praising it. Think about the comment in the context of the Arab spring.

He doesnt like sites like this especially. Even Obama has publicly stated his disdain for sites like Drudge and Breitbart. I can almost guaranty that those sites as well as this one are heavily monitored.
It doesnt really matter though. Havent you noticed that when Obama or Holder or someone else in his crooked admin is caught in a scandal, they dont admit to it, they dont deny it, they just dont do a thing, the dont say anything at all because they know that the media isnt going to press the issue.
Then when fox or drudge try to press it, they call them racist, cooks, wackos etc..
Ive never seen anything like this administration in 6 presidents that ive lived through.

The media in America has a bigger responsibility than it’s exercising today. The media has got to begin to not give equal time or equal balance to an absolutely absurd notion just because somebody asserts it or simply because somebody says something which everybody knows is not factual.
It doesn’t deserve the same credit as a legitimate idea about what you do. And the problem is everything is put into this tit-for-tat equal battle and America is losing any sense of what’s real, of who’s accountable, of who is not accountable, of who’s real, who isn’t, who’s serious, who isn’t?
