“There’s no better source to get local news and no better medium to follow around corrupt local politicos that the national media doesn't care about.”

Agree that there is a need for this level of coverage. The very positive aspect of the Media in the 21st Century is the removal of barriers to entry. The stranglehold of the Established Media is being broken and the voids created by the collapse of the print will be filled with National and Niche players.

I'm not worried about a lack of coverage. In fact I think the new structure will enable more complete and intensive coverage that heretofore was excluded due to these barriers.

Hope I'm right in my assessment.

Except they cover for their buddies

Amen! News makers can finally use new media to directly connect with people and drop the corporate middle man with a hidden agenda who touts his own objectivity while spewing adjective adverbial shading to twist the news.

I am becoming increasingly convinced that the wealthy, powerful, and somewhat archaic media conglomerates that have controlled the messaging to America for so long are beginning to crumble. As they begin to deteriorate under the weight of a more democratic media system, opportunities to infiltrate the pervasive and corrupt lies and spread truth in love are becoming abundant. As America continues to grow fatigued and sluggish from decades of the mainstream media's preaching of godlessness, bright lights are beginning to shine in the most unlikely media places. And like any small light in a pitch black room, the effect will be unmistakable. - Brian Fisher, Coral Ridge Ministries
