MSM promised the libs Hillary had it in the bag.

Turned out to be BS. Now even the libs don’t trust them.

Won’t hurt their paychecks though, so no worries.

The traditional top-down propaganda efforts are not yielding the desired results; thus, motions toward thought control have begun in earnest for the soft media. Efforts to contain the conversations to safe memes by subverting the hosting forum’s open choice of topic—to make taboo based upon the elitist’s preference to neuter any challenge, are failing. The actions to censor have become too blatant to escape notice. Twitter—Facebook—YouTube—Google appear to have become openly partisan; and, their risk taking hasn’t been fully appreciated to this moment.

Social media provides an alternative path, serves as a place to stand, provides the footing which Archimedes claimed would allow him to lever the world into a new orbit. The youthful, politically engaged people are in the midst of an effort to achieve different results through substantiation of the narrative, rather than blythly accepting proclamations from above. They aren’t buying the hard-sell nor the obvious manipulation.

As with Gawker, hubris may bring about their downfall. Betrayal of trust for thirty pieces of silver is not innovation; but, a disheartening reveal that “Do No Evil” was just marketing. Thus ‘here today—gone tomorrow’ isn’t an empty platitude. Consider Yahoo, Friendster, Myspace, in terms of the fleeting relevance of social media once the sparkle wears off.
