Thanks for your comments. I will have try to find my old Toffler "The Third Wave".

"If you've read Alvin Toffler's book The Third Wave, he write in that book a chapter called "De-Massifying the Media," where as communications technologies improve the giant media conglomerates will wield less power. It appears that weblogs have made Toffler's prophecy come true."

Which is why they are fighting to control the message by taking out voices that have different ideologies, that include the truth. I think this is a bigger deal, highly organized, beyond our borders kind of effort here. The stink seems to waft back to Shadow Party /Soros.

Do a search on The Shadow Party.

"It appears that weblogs have made Toffler's prophecy come true."

And of course FreeRepublic's very own Buckhead, with many non-bloggers contributing to the ground-swell of forum contributors... NOT BLOGGERS!!!

Let's just blow away the self-absorbed, self-annointed, self-serving "blogosphere!"

Forums exploding with knowledge flowing at the speed of light, like the unique in all the world... FreeRepublic.com, featuring fun-loving fans of constitutional conservatism is where it's at in my very strong and adamant opinion!!!

Good eye. Newt wasn't whistling Dixie when he brought up Toffler and "The Third Wave". Sure, one can say "eeeuuu... Toffler.. a "liberal" and shut down. But I read the book in the early 70s -- I got the gist. So, I was really clear about what Newt was on about. I find a lot of good ideas among liberals, etc. I disagree with their politics and proposals to "solve" matters; but! I'm open to learning. And yes, the blogosphere/freep have altered the nature of "news" reporting.
