This idiot is admitting that she did not realize that the days of MSM propaganda were over. Her ivory tower was mired in quicksand.
This idiot is also admitting that she and others like her arrogantly assumed they could ignore Free Republic and other right-leaning news focus sites. By doing so, they didn't exist and if they didn't exist for them, they didn't exist for anyone else that counted. It was a shock to realize that "those sites" had an impact that could shoot down their propaganda. Chuckle, chuckle...
