Every year the MSM loses power and the internet gains. They do this at their own peril. They may want to see what happens when you think we are living in the past, as Dan Rather learned.
We can verify and the word gets out. And it gets out a LOT better than it did back then.
They want to restrict the internet. They want to have registered names for facebook, etc. for your online identities (do away with anonymity in comments and activity). They also want to force ‘equal time’ airing of opposing views (a climate change critic would have to subsidize the counterviewpoint on his page).
So much for a free press (where one does not need to buy ink or paper or a printing press, let alone convince a newsstand to stock your publication).
Aren't they the same thing?
A significant percentage of internet providers (Comcast, Time Warner, etc) AND many of the top internet portals (Google, Yahoo, etc) are regime affiliates.
