When the New Media shows that they can protect them from the MSM enough so that they do not get unelected the next election. It is happening. It is why Cruz won the primary battle in Texas.

I agree with you. There is something that has happened in the last 6 years to politics that is unique in our history (and the world’s).
Social media, and alternative media are beginning to have direct impacts on campaigns and elections. And I might add - finally.
The Medium has become reliable enough and “start-up” outlets have gained credibility.
I think that books will be written in 20 years about this period of transition that will have analysis that can only be seen in retrospect.
I also believe that after this election (and if we continue primary-electing men like Cruz) we will see a strong and powerful push to censor the internet and tax it. The Government will not permit this amount of democracy and freedom to exist. It’s only natural. And I feel that we should prepare for it.
