Open Questions:
Unreliable types of sources?
I believe that the most unreliable source of information that i might come across are the unreferenced sights found in open searches.  A good example of this are blogs and other heavily opinionated literature.

1. The Iranian Uprisings and the Challenge of the New Media: Rethinking the Politics of Representation

- this article is very relevant to my topic - it clearly highlights the iranian government and the effects of new eOT media. score - 5 
- There are a variety of sources cited in this journal, and all seem relevant to the subject- the sources are woven in to the work making for a strong argument in the effects of theocratic government and new eOT media. score 5
- Henry Giroux, author of this article, was not a familiar name to me, but after a little digging i found that he has several publications, and "currently holds the Global TV Network Chair Professorship at McMaster University in the English and Cultural Studies Department."-http://www.uta.edu/huma/agger/fastcapitalism/5_2/authors5_2.html#giroux
score 5

2.Professor Michael Wesch's speech, "The Machine is (Changing) Us: YouTube Culture and the Politics of Authenticity."
- the relevance to my topic is extremely high - and it also brings in the anthropological aspect of youtube and its cultural interaction score 5
- This source is a video, and is based on the research performed by Dr. Wesch and his graduate students.  Because the results discussed are directly drawn from observation, the persuasivness of this source is very high. Score 4
- Dr. Wesch is very well published and has won many awards in cultural anthropology, and is a assistant professor at Kansas State University. Score 5

3.Ipoque 2008/2009 Internet Study.
- Again, the relevance to my subject is very high, describing the streaming video statistics of many different countries, including those in the middle east.  score 5
- Because Ipoque is a well known german company specializing in computer statistics, i believe that this source is very credible.  This work is also referenced by many other papers/ articles, adding to the persusiveness.  Because this source is purely a survey, with very little interpretation, adds to the credibility.score 10.

4. Oral Traditions and the Internet. John Miles Foley.
- the relevance of this source to my topic is also very high, drawing the differences of OTs and eOTs.  Although not directly linked to theocratic governments in the middle east, this shows the cultural aspects of eOTs and how they are used. score 3
- ideas are very persuasive, and ideas are very clear.  sources are referenced in text, and are reliable. score 5
- this author is extremely well known as a cultural anthropologist and well published author. score 5

5. Pakistan blocks YouTube Access. Sadaqat Jan.
- This article is very rlevant to my topic - showing te effects of theocratic government and eoT youtube. It needs to elaborate more on the effects though... score 3
- there are many in text references, and is a news item form the huffington post newspaper.
score - 4
- credibility seems high.  A topic this large can't be bluffed especially in an edited/proofread newspaper article. score - 4
