And while television makes it easy for New York to talk to the world, the world has no corresponding way to talk to the
networks, which wouldn’t listen anyway. Nor do people have effective means of talking to each other, except in small groups.

Good Lord, Fred.  For someone who writes for
the Internet, how blind can you be to what
cyberspace is bringing us?  Freepers are a
perfect example of  TV-wise, tuned-in-to-the-
world people meeting in a large group.

I think Fred was generalizing. I'm sure he's aware of the small minority of folks who actually take the time to talk and learn from one another.
