Inside Story - 'Kony 2012': The Future of Activism
What is the role of charities, have some of them exceeded their limits and should they freely use the power of social media to shape public opinion around the world? Guests: Mareike Schomerus, Jolly Okot, and Jillian York.

Nice try, I guess. Somewhat informative. Too dull.

People who're genuinely interested in the general topic ought to instead check out the BBC's excellent "The Truth About NGOs" podcast series, IMO.

I have no idea what their agenda is. I mean, do they want to save children from being maimed and killed by a psychopath? What am I, a rocket scientist?

The SF elitist has no idea what went on in the Darfur campaign. I knew someone who interned for CNN and told her that she should tell Anderson Cooper to cover the Darfur Rallies. He chose to cover the Terri Schiavo book deal instead, because it made them money. There was so much more coverage on the Michael Jackson trial than there was on Darfur, so it was up to activists to inform when they had the media and politicians working against them. They are not lazy, they are doing the work. The media needs to do the work and in this case the activists did a job that media failed to do. Just in my opinion. Is liking something on facebook going to solve the problem? No. Is writing to CNN and your politicians going to solve it? There is more of a chance of that working, and this is what they are asking them to do. This media moron does not pay attention to what is actually going on. I could do a better job of running that organization than her.

The video was very clear. Raise awareness to Americans that Kony is a war criminal so that American troops will be sent to capture Kony and bring him to justice. Even though the video didn't say it, they want Kony dead. Did I miss something here?
