With the abundance of websites in cyberspace - some self-absorbed, some littered with bad prose and even worse poetry, some full of anger, hate and malice - it is easy to occasionally wonder what the point of it all is. Is anyone reading? Does anyone care? Does any of it really make a difference?
For an independent site like UmmahPulse.com it is sometimes easy to believe that there is no way to compete with the giant media outlets and their own heavily editorialised version of events. In the tightly controlled world of the media the truth disappears down a rabbit hole into its own Alice in Wonderland reality where the "only democracy in the Middle East" can carry out a murderous pirate raid on an international aid ship and get away with it whilst the so-called "free press" is given a free ride on their propaganda machine.
