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.”
The First Amendment never conferred a "right to be heard or to be read." It only conferred a right to speak or to publish. Newspapers and electronic broadcast got their readership and viewership because of a near-monopoly of the technology of the era.
That is now over.
I suggest that if the message is pertinent and well-stated, it will eventually be seen. This thread yesterday addressed that very issue. The State-Run Media has been unable to dictate the message as it has in the past.
