MSM are learning that the Internet is a powerful force to contend with.

MSM tried to bypass the SBV ads. Via the Internet, nearly half the adult population in the USA saw those ads anyway.

MSM sees their numbers slipping more and more. Even cable FoxNews has exceeded the network news in viewership of 'newsworthy' events.

No wonder Hillary wants a gatekeeper for the Internet. It is the biggest force of raw, unfiltered freedom that has existed since the Old West was civilized.

'They' want to reign in the Internet--because it can uncover their lies at the speed of live. With all its capacity for misuse and being a rumor mill, it is just as much a force for truth. CBS and Dan Rather just found that out. Had they been on their toes, they would have realized that years earlier. Now, 'they' are becoming secondary.

I totally agree that the internet and the ability to access info is our greatest freedom, which is why there are those who want to shut it off.

I guess I'm a dork, but please, someone define "MSM", cuz I don't get it!!

The Internet is the most dangerous thing to tyranny since the invention of the gun.
