Dan Rather and Mary Mapes weren't the only victims of their cluelessness about the New Media; who could forget how the blogs also brought down Howell Raines and Gerald Boyd at the New York Times and Eason Jordan at CNN? The fact the MSM is acting like a de facto mouthpiece for the Democratic National Committee is the reason why readership in newspapers and newsmagazines have been declining at an accelerating pace.
It is my belief that they are working hand-in-hand for the implementation of a socialist democracy in America and will use ANY and ALL means to achieve this.
Unless they make a mistake of monumental proportions, they will continue to get a slim majority of viewers/readers... and continue to be competitive in elections. We are now a nation that either actively searches for the truth... or sits back and enjoys the brainwashing.
