“You seem to be under the delusion that the msm has been reporting every day on “gunwalker” and Solindra, etc.
The general public is in the dark,.......”
Under no delusion here nuconvert. Not at all. You apparently missed the article(s) about the “New Media” having become on par with the MSM in reaching the public.
It was reported here at FRee Republic in several articles within the past few months actually that the “New Media”, and the MSM share a 50/50% readership today. A marked improvement over past years. The “New Media” is maturing.
That is cause for concern for those to now having been reliant upon the dominance of the MSM.
It is because of that impressive power of the “New Media” today I believe that led to CBS to jump in on the “Gunwalker” exposure. Perhaps FOX also has something to do with it as they too have heavy exposure in the “New Media”.
No delusions, just read FRee Republic Morning, Noon, and Nights when I have the chance between chores. I know I don’t see everything, but I read a lot of what is posted here, and retain what I read to connect the dots, and make my opinions.
FReepers and a minority of the population follow the news via “new media” & msm. The rest of the population doesn’t seek out news and gets their minuscule news bites from msm.
If it isn’t reported on the nightly news, it doesn’t exist. If they happen to hear about something via another source, it’s in passing & it isn’t pursued
Issa has been giving phone interviews or whatever they might be called to “bloggers” - Sipsey Street, for one - because they ARE the Real Media.
