I was watching some show the other day that was talking about bloggers and internet activists etc. They were slanting things trying to say "they are a bunch of unprofessional people with no checks and balances"

I immediately yelled at my tv "we might not have checks and balances but then again apparently neither does CBS...if they do, a lot of good it did them..."

In reality the only checks and balances in place are ala CBS vs FOX or whoever VS the internet.

Internal 'checks'...yeah whatever.

To the contrary, it is the MSM that has enjoyed the ability to pick and choose the news that is "fit for print" with no means of checks or balances. It is the internet that finally provides a voice to the rest of us. Their monopoly is reaching its twilight.

The "checks and balances" are inherent within the very nature of a news forum. The discussion, discourse and open disagreement is a far better system of "checks and balances" than any that a one-sided news organization could ever hope to achieve.

The universities and the MSM don't even make a weak attempt to put any checks in place. If they would at least hire conservatives, to work side-by-side with their liberal staff, then perhaps they would be able to join us in the New Era of Credibility.
