Why would the online generation want to mimic the MSM?
It is the MSM that has brought us to the point we are at today: where the economy almost went off the cliff, where you can literally fabricate out of whole cloth the reason for a war that literally made everything in the region worse than it was, where elections gets stolen and everyone knows about it and the Supreme Court validates it etc etc etc.
Why did the so called Netroots follow that path? Why is it so controlled to the point they actually censor Jesse Ventura on 9-11?
Ramparts did not do that and they succeeded. That is why I tried to hold them up as model of what really journalism was and can be. I really don't understand it.
Welcome to Democracy Jim! SMH....
