Congrats Jim!!! We should have had the FReepathon in May! ;*)

Lots of exposure here!

The emergence of the blogosphere has marked the true democratization of the internet.

The emergence of the forumsphere has marked the true Republicanization of the internet.

THERE.

It has not been that many years ago that the major networks had 90 million people watching their news. Today it is about 24 million people. And the cable TV audience is about 30 million people total.

That leaves about 36 million people who are either not watching news or are going somehere else for news. They have to be divided between talk radio and the net. The key factor is Talk Radio is not growing and the internet as a source of news is.

The media has always been the middle man between elected officials, candidates, political parties, and other news sources such as law enforcement, fire departments and appointed officials. I wonder if there is a way for the internet to eliminate the middle man... to allow news makers and the public to have open and unfiltered two way communications.

Even today there are threads that get a handful of views and comments and others that get many thousands. It is a feed back that no letter to the editor or call in show can match. It seems to me that news that would not go through a filter would be worth while for any political party and for the public as well

If the MSM is indeed dying, then what do we use to replace their articles that we post?

It is perhaps worth pondering... where is the internet is going.
