Yet, the Old Marxist Media are won't cover it*. They are either actually unaware of it, or are consciously choosing not to cover it—pretending they don't know about it. Do they imagine that if they claim ignorance of it and refuse to give it "credibility" by reporting it, that the story will go away? Are they so arrogant and foolish as to imagine they still occupy that sort of gatekeeper position in the New Media world?
I don't think they understand that the tide has turned and by professing ignorance of such a story still, after several days into it as it grows in effect and influence to the point of forcing Congress and the Census Bureau to act... they instead demean and belittle themselves, and convict themselves of bad judgment, corruption, shameless shilling for Obama, and finally complete irrelevance—and that it will be they, not the story that "goes away."
I don't think it's a stretch to suggest that we may be watching the last death rattle of what was formerly known as the Mainstream Media...both print and broadcast.
As Glenn Beck says, "the paradigm is changing", and I don't think these dinosaurs are aware of it. They're busy competing with each other, exclaiming over things the wretched Dowd says...shuffling and announcing new anchors - as though they're failing because they have the wrong "face" in front of the camera, dismissing anyone not of their own circle of self-anointed elites living in their East Coast Blue Bubble.
I think this story is the Old Marxist Media's Waterloo. And I think they're completely oblivious. They won't go off the air tomorrow. But I think history may mark this as the moment the Old Leftist Media turned the corner toward oblivion.

* And they couldn't be bothered to cover the 9-12 March on Washington either. When asked if he was there, the painfully pretentious Charlie Gibson of ABC, said he was busy "sailing off Maine".
Perhaps that should be the epitaph on the tombstone of what was once the MSM:
"They were busy sailing off Maine".
Nat.Parks Service estimated 200,000-400,000 at the so-called "Million Man March" in the way-back,and 1.6 MILLION at the 9/12 Thang. "9/12"doesn't fit the Establishment Media's agenda,tha's all.Same for ACORN non-coverage.Half the clowns in the Est.Media are married to political hacks in D.C....I hyperbolicate on the stat,perhaps,but not too much. I regard them as RICO violators,myself.A modern version of the Gilded Age from the late 19th century.
ReplyDeleteI stopped reading newspapers five years ago. I watch the MSM news once in a while just to see what they are not reporting or reporting in a bias manner. They never disappoint me.
ReplyDeleteThis internet is the new media. That is why the Dems want to control it. If they try that may be the opening shot of the Second American Revolution. There are other sparks out there also.
The times are "a" changing...for certain.
ReplyDeleteDid you hear about the 9/13 counter-counter-protest? Nah, because they didn't want you to know what a huge failure it was. Story is at hotair
ReplyDeleteTom, I read Drudge, Breitbart, CNS News, Pajamas…
ReplyDeleteI can't remember the last time I watched TV news other than Fox...seriously, it's been years.
It simply never occurs to me. I want truth...why would I go there?
Agreed about attempting to control the internet. BAD. IDEA.
skiriki....yeah I saw the pics. Pathetic.
