Well said, Pukin Dog! I had a role, way back when, that helped launch this "internet revolution" (no, Al Gore wasn't there with us) -- back when Jim Rob was posting on Prodigy's Whitewater Bulletin Board. I thought then that "the genie was out of the bottle and it would never be shoved back in" -- that we viewers and readers would never again accept the MSM dictators thanks to this interactive medium. FreeRepublic is one of the very best manifestations of this phenomenon. I truly believe that this election will be remembered as the tipping point when the MSM totally lost its premier influence on the electorate. I wonder how long CBS News will even be in existance.
