At the MIT Media Lab on June 13, 2008, I interviewed NYU professor and PressThink blogger Jay Rosen about two big ways in which his Off the Bus citizen journalism project has impacted the 2008 election so far: the "bitter" remarks by Barack Obama and the "scumbag" reference to a Vanity Fair reporter by Bill Clinton.
Rosen discusses what really happened in this 10-minute interview, and how the rules of political coverage have changed.
