I understand that. My point is with the internet WE now have ‘printing presses’ (a keyboard and computer) and a distribution system (a modem connected to a network).

And WE also now face the same challenges that newspapers face, that is, getting someone to read our stuff. The Internet isn’t a distribution system unless someone actually reads what you write. And in order to be effective, you have to have a readership of the magnitude of Jim Robinson or Matt Drudge or Michelle Malkin for it to have any effect. How many inane blogs do you know of that you would never look at more than once? Those people have freedom of expression, but they do not have “freedom of the press.”
