But things are changing a bit. The MSM is now personally attacking the New Media, i.e. going after the persons who make up the New Media. To be sure, calling them on their hypocrisy is what we have been doing, but they are ramping the battle to a new level. The New Media can't bring a knife to a gun fight. I think the MSM is making a serious error by ramping this up. I am willing to bet that there are some skeletons in some closets that would call their credibility into question.

I have to wonder, will your expose of Representative Slaughter's Dan Rather moment make it into the MSM? Will it rescue a New Media organization like Talon News and allow it to have a representative in the White House?

I doubt it, other than the Philly Daily News taking an interest in the story because they are part of it. Orwell said it best - omission is the most powerful form of lie. And the MSM will pretend that none of what I posted here exists.

And they will convince 99.7 percent of their believers of such. But a few more folks will see this and start to doubt the MSM.

This battle is fought one person at a time. We cannot lose sight of that fact - for every home run like Rathergate, there is a lot of work that can be accomplished by continually running smaller stories that impact a few people at a time.
