The Saul Alinski Journolista goons in the MSM need a focal point to destroy (ala Sarah Palin). Without that, they thrash around and are very ineffective (see the Tea Party). Both of these guys going their separate ways and branching out diffuses the standard attack tactics that the left has used over and over. Breitbart and O’Keefe are running circles around the MSM because the MSM is so predictable and easy to spike. That is how they got a 2 for 1 out of the ACORN scandal (taking down ACORN and the MSM simultaneously) as they leaked out new videos that were perfect counter attacks every time the MSM came up with a new spin to save ACORN and belittle them.
The MSM’s success over the last few decades at spinning the message has been blown up by the asymettric informational tactics of the new generation of bloggers. Very soon, the MSM will be marginalized by this process.

MSM is now afraid to attack for fear there are more videos in the offing to make them look like a bunch of stupid idiots.
