The media are already imploding. 10 years ago combined viewership of the 3 news networks was 30 million. Now it is less than 8 million while Drudge is over 30 million per day.
As Limbaugh says, no one believes the media anymore. They are just reporting to impress their colleagues. Look at how the alternative media turned the skewed polls around and forced the media to report more accurately. The internet has become a great equalizer. There are hundreds of millions of us and a few hundred thousand of them. Our numbers will make them irrelevant.
The media is are already falling apart. Going into these debates if they treat Romney unfairly the alternative media will create that narrative. Most everyone does not like to be lied to and scammed. The media are pegged as scam artists already. The tied is already turning.
The new media is doing the job the old MSM will not do.
