The speed at which news travels on sites like this is the reason why liberals can no longer dominate the media and control the spin to suit their agenda. The news moves too fast. There are too many people who see stuff and post it, and there are too many smart people to praise it and spread it around if it has merit, and dissect it like a frog in biology class if it's bogus.
Hallelujah! :-)

The other aspect of FR that is such a strong tool in breaking the MSM dominance of news and agenda control is that no longer must one be a subscriber to Lexis/Nexus to find news from yesterday to 100 years ago.

We are the new media, and we're moving at the speed of "Post."

Precisely. Think of it like Jerry Lewis trying to chase down Carl Lewis, circa 1984.

Which is why Drugde is on tonight reporting that George Tenet says "The Wild West world of the Internet must be regulated." NO WAY! You know, sometime we have to start asking ourselves why even with 2 political parties, so many of our country's problems don't get solved - like illegal immigration. I think the elites are beginning to realize the power the Internet gives WE The People, and they are not amused.
