Wow...good article. Ya know, this reminds me of several weeks ago when I posted some (erroneous) data about energy transfered by projectiles fired from the 7.62x39 and .223 cartridges.

After I did this, a whole BUNCH (not sure how many) of people pointed out my error. I went back to the book from which I gathered this info, and wondered how I managed to screw it up. There it was...just like I was being told. Hmmmmm....

So I said sorry....accepted the correction, and got on with it.

Unfortunately, CBS missed that "sweet spot". They stuck to their story in the face of damnimg evidence. Not only overwhelming in technical construct, but in force of numbers of the "Pajamahadeen" who came forth as experts.

We're watching the implosion of CBS now. With a fair amount of satisfaction I might add. But you know the other mainstream media outlets have GOT to be wide eyed themselves as they watch this. I'm sure it's affecting them as well, and how they'll operate in the future.

I couldn't care less what the Old Mediots think of the New Media any more. We are in the ascendency, and predictably, many are failing to understand how to cope with new technology.

Those who are wise, will learn from us, and discover how to incorporate us into their sphere of story production. Those who do not will fall.

We have known for many years the power we influence on the conservative talk media - the evidence is indisputable. It was only a matter of time before the old guard would buckle under the pressure. That story appears now to have become evident to even them - as usual, far later than it was evident to us.

We, collectively, were easily more accurate than the "experts" the FRAUDcasters employed during the BASH* ... we had the JFK,jr pinned down as a classic "death spiral" long before the Old Media did, and Limbaugh picked up his monologue FROM the FR post that nailed that ... we KNEW in 2000 that the USSC had told the SCOFLAWs "game over" a half hour before their "court analysts" did (but that is because Coulter was sick in bed that day - she probably would have beat us then) ...

There are just so many of these instances now they are really too great to enumerate, and they occur nearly daily. If the Old Media were interested in the truth, rather than their agenda, the FR "virtual think tank" would have been mentioned a hundred times this year in a hundred stories.

One thing is certain, though, this method of news research is on the ascendancy, and theirs is not

Right now, the Old Media FRAUDcasters have been put on notice. The Vast (Right Wing) Pajama gang have demonstrated the impact they can have on the world.
