 Web News Grows, Papers Spiral Down -- Please visit CaptainsQuartersBlog and see how McCain-Feingold and the Federal Election Commission are threatening political speech on the internet.
 WHO NEEDS THE MAINSTREAM PRESS ANYMORE?
 
 
 Internet Passes Radio for Political News -Survey -- Speaking for myself, I find that it is much easier to confirm or refute news stories via the internet than through any other source. That is why the internet enjoys a greater appeal for the critically-thinking. I can gather my sources, check them, and decide about the information's reliability for myself, rather(no pun intended) than relying on someone else to do my critical thinking for me.
That is what the MSM and liberal press hates about the internet. Those of us who turn to the web for our information, and who bother to check for the reliability of the information, have caught every sneaky little lie that the MSM tries to sneak through. The MSM cannot live in an environment that promotes critical thinking. It infuriates the MSM that the majority of Americans no longer accept their version of the news as gospel truth.

 Menace in Black II- The FEC vs. Blogs -- We have only a few more months before the Free Republic site is in this very set of cross hairs. McCain Feingold must be repealed as well. It was an abject failure and it is the problem, more legislation to permit the government to "regulate" political speech is an assault to every citizens rights. The only law in this respect should be one that insists on accurate reporting of financial contributions and by whom they are made.
 CFR was bad enough:
