I too have commented on how important the MSM are to us and for getting information "out there." I am sure few see nor want an end to the MSM -- instead we welcome the return of "the way is was."

I remember the days before TV. It was a time where every city had two or more newspapers representing views across the political spectrum.

A Free Press, free of political and corporate strings?

You’d have to eliminate the dependency on funding via advertising.

Your assessment completely ignores FR's roles as a newsmaker and a virtual bulletin board for conservative activism.

IMHO mass media mostly produces propaganda. OTOH blogs serve me as the ultimate spy network with over a billion people feeding me intel. For instance a blog search on "Denver" for the past 24 hours returns about 30,000 hits. And that's just blogs. Add mail lists, tweets, chat rooms, etc to get an even better picture.

Bottom line - the Inet provides plenty of hard facts to critical thinkers.
