....the public is increasingly seeking its news not from mainstream television networks or ink-on-dead-trees but from grazing online.
When we go online, each of us is our own editor, our own gatekeeper. We select the kind of news and opinions that we care most about.
Nicholas Negroponte of M.I.T. has called this emerging news product The Daily Me. And if that’s the trend, God save us from ourselves.

Had the internet (or any balanced media medium which allowed people access to information instead of the left's one sided propaganda) existed decades ago then America might still be with us.
Just think of the things We The People could have challenged....
Prayer being thrown out of schools.
The Open Borders Act of 1965.
Desegregation.
The Civil Rights movement (AKA the assault upon Freedom of Association, promotion of miscegenation, homosexuality, abortion etc...).
The War in Vietnam.
The Counter Cultural attacks upon Western Civilization.
The list goes on......
