Hello Devin, You may also want to consider the somewhat nebulous, but interesting, world of "Information Schools." (Or: Schools of Information, Schools of Information and Library Science, or Informatics Programs....and more!) A list of some of these schools--though not all--can be found in the right hand column of http://ischools.org/. The kind of work you seem interested in doing would be a really good fit for many of those programs either at the Master's or PhD level. I would advise looking carefully look through both the faculty and students in each (though the websites often don't reflect what's actually happening in the program). There are also Sociology and Communication programs (I am guessing Polisci also) that have experts in areas you are interested in as well.

The School of Journalism & Mass Communication at UNC-Chapel Hill offers an online M.A. in Technology & Communication: http://matc.jomc.unc.edu/ , as well as an online graduate Certificate in Technology & Communication (part of which can be rolled into the M.A.). The MATC is an online program, but it requires two brief residencies on campus (a two-day session in the summer before the program starts and a week-long session in the summer between the first and second year).
Also, many schools (including my alma mater, the University of Utah) offer considerable flexibility to craft your own path through the degree program. If these schools offer the courses and faculty in the areas you're looking for (as Utah does), you're in good shape to make that program very internet studies-focused.
