22. I do believe the Internet is beginning to make its' presence felt.

Had this been five, ten or fifteen years ago, those stories would've been overlooked or swept under the rug by the corporate media still acquiescing to the Republican Frame of being the "liberal media" in regards to objections or protests of Limbaugh's or Beck's hate filled behaviour.

However their bread and butter commerical buying advertisers know that dog won't hunt anymore.

The people empowered by being able to instantaneously, distribute and disseminate information without editorial filters are more able to reason en masse for themselves, making the job of corporate supremacist, status quo brain washing infinitely more difficult.

Thanks for the thread, nadinbrzezinski.
