..the power of the mainstream media (MSM) in the United States is being seriously challenged by a mostly ragtag army of outsiders armed with little more than the internet.

Oh, they're armed with more than just the internet. They've something in their arsenal that the MSM doesn't appear to have? Among the weapons at hand are integrity, decency, honesty, experience, brains and not being bounded by an organization's liberal PC culture. They're stealthy too, especially to those with no value radar.

And the Internet is a great money raising (free speech) instrument too.
