POWER TO THE CORRECT PEOPLE!

If it weren't for the ability of the open-source Drudge Report and the open-source FreeRepublic forum on the open-source internet we would all know a lot less than we do as those in control of the levers of information distribution (AP and NYT, etc.) spiked stories that made their tummies upset.

The reason there is a Fox News is because of the rise of Drudge and FreeRepublic. People bypassed those in control of the market and created a new market and Fox swooped in to make money off of it. Open source worked fantastically well in the media market. You can tell by how much the established media screams about Drudge/FOX News/and FR. The same way that Ballmer screams about Linux.

Like I said: POWER TO THE CORRECT PEOPLE!
