Well, apparently that's at least one thing that you got wrong. I never said that the MSM is dying. Far from it. It's consolidating its power at almost every level. People who think otherwise are either delusional or blind.
I am fairly new to this board. But, that doesn't mean I'm new to the world. You call them "nutroots". I call them voters. Granted, they are unengaged, uninformed and probably not very intelligent. But sadly, their vote counts just as much as yours or mine. If conservatives don't figure out how to reach these "great unwashed", we will never win another national election.
To discount them and the media they watch only helps to bolster the DNC and their candidates.
Good post. Got any suggestions beyond Bush/McCain style "bipartisanship" [read: caving]?
