It refers to the "peer to peer" relationships that the news media (ie they copy off one from another) have with each other. One news org develops a story(say NY Times) and the others derive their news and editorial views from it.

Thanks. I know gnutella and peer-to-peer are, I didnt get the analogy to the MSM.
This makes a lot of sense as a description, when I see that most of our local paper is getting 'news' via wire reports and NY Times reporters. So there is so little original source reporting, you see the same report showing up everywhere.
An echo chamber, not a truly diverse media.
We dont need a conservative newspaper, we need a conservative version of AP!
