"This would be a disaster."
...and it could open the door to biased news.
"If thousands of us e-mail Vince Cable, we can persuade him to make the right decision and oppose Murdoch’s master plan."
So basically you they want to do what they accuse Murdoch of doing, only they don't have their own media outlets so they will use social media outlets instead.

I hardly think ...
that using a social media campaign to encourage a democratically elected representative to use the tools of process available to him in order to arrive at an informed decision on the matter, equates to strongarming said process through sheer financial muscle, but your call.
And I think you're forgetting kitten-ball in all of this.

Yes encouraging the informed lawfully correct decision is great, and I'm all for it
but the biased pre-determined scare-tactics narrative being pushed to get people to act is a Fox News tactic no? One proven to work admittedly ;)
At the very least it's a little ironic.
P.S. Kittenball is straight out of the World of Goo

World of Goo? Is that a site?
I hesitate to google it from work... Pic was facebook'd to me last week - no idea of its origins.
