The announcement today of the launch of Campaign TV is perhaps an indication of how far political internet TV has come. Clearly partisan, it is launched at a time when there is increasing speculation that a flash election will be called in the UK. Arm's length endorsement seems to have become the key tool in a country with tight rules on campaign financing.
Of course, extensive use is being made of online video by the candidates for the primaries in the US where such restrictions do not apply (yet, anyway..), and channels such as iPSOE TV in Spain show how progressive politicians can become when they can get their faces on telly - even internet telly - even when they are already in power.

Clearly the people behind this site would rather pump out on-message propaganda than actually engage in a real debate.
Isn't this rather missing the point of internet TV?
