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.

Ok, I agree that every assertion made by the MSM should be met, whether small or big. But heretofore, those assertions have been directed to matters of public policy, i.e. Social Security Reform, Iraq, etc. Now, the MSM is occupying itself with personally attacking the New Media. Meeting them in small ways is not enough because in waiting for the homerun moment, the New Media suffers too many casualties.

This has denegrated into a street fight. The New Media has to fight it that way. The incest between the DNC and the MSM is too easy to pick apart and has been, but the underlying reasons for that incest has heretofore been left unearthed, i.e. money? sex? drugs? rockin roll? lions, tigers and bears oh my!!

You are absolutely right, dirtboy! "This battle is fought one person at a time." Over time, the battle being fought one person at a time, culminates into something quite larger.
