Ron Paul Schools Ben Bernanke Again
MSNBC probably had an audience in the hundreds of thousands for Bernanke's appearance this morning.
The YouTube video I linked to, posted sometime after that, already has over 3,000 views and could break 10,000 by tomorrow.
What can be drawn from those numbers? Opinion polls, as traditionally conducted - whether or not they include candidates out of favor with the MSM - are no longer the influential agents of the media they once were. The Internet is where it's at, and will change politics forever.
