How will YouTube affect the Canadian elections?

Last night I viewed about as much mess on UTube that my stomach could handle. It is a pathetic attention getting effort by people who are untrained in journalism, video filmaking, acting, or any skills whatsover in broadcasting. They do not even qualify as amateurs. This is lowered expectations and something here stinks to high Heaven: Hopefully, major broadcasters will abandon the attempt to draw in more Bucks and not stoop to lowering broadcast standards. If young people forego education in order to sacrifice themselves to voyeurism, many will become low achievers and that can affect the future of the very society that spawned them.
