It is now clear that the power of the new media is growing at a strong and steady pace. We have won an impressive number of victories. Now, as has been the case in all previous social phenomena, the new media is virtually pushing the old media off the information stage. People are no longer willing to turn their thought processes over to a media that has been discovered to have been lying for so long in so many areas. In 2004 the new media pummeled the old media into submission and brought the truth of the Swiftees message as an antidote to the lies John Kerry was attempted to feed us.
Tom Tancredo credits the new media with being a "benign irritant" to Congress and thus helping to pass much needed border control legislation.

Now it is the New York Times that will forcibly be made to come to an understanding of the power of the new media.

The leak investigation of the Times will not "just go away" as the old media promised it would make the Swift Boat truths "go away" for John Kerry.

The old media was not strong enough to make those truths go away for someone else and now two years later it won't be strong enough to make this truth " go away " for itself.

It is not at all an overstatement to say that the NYT will be severely damaged by this investigation.

What so many on the left refuse to understand is that the Bush family is not the most successful political family in American history by luck. No, winning life's lottery or cheating or some such other self delusional explanation the left might concoct will not explain this family's success.

The Bush family has been so successful because it does not let its enemies up once they are down and it does not hesitate to kick asses as necessary.

With the full sails of public opinion favoring the wire taping and the new media's support, moving it forward, the Bush administration will slowly and methodically encircle the Times and crush it. When this is complete, lying about the Bush administration will become the way to become the next target. The logic of that point will make even the most ardent pinkos think twice about doing so. The "chilling effect" ( a good liberal phrase) will make take hold.
