this is between the veracity of the New Media and the mendacity of the Old... Nailed it. This is the way I see it as well. Does the new media have enough to pull it off...
It is pretty impressive that they have gotten it this far. The only thing that can save the old system is all out repression. I do not think they can pull it off.
If the clueless public school educated doofuses watching American Idol didn't notice that the price of Cheetos have skyrocketed or that their mother can't get another dime out of dead beat dad and then actually tries to find out why...and in the process stumbles on the truth...
Another hope and changer bites the dust.
