Current Events » in reply to ABC: Doubts about docs used in Rather smear

The old media is dying before our eyes

The Internet has just caused a media revolution. Thirty years ago, the media stooges could have stage managed this whole election using fraudulent documents along with supressed and slanted news. They tried to keep the Swift Vets under wraps but the Internet defeated them. Then CBS cranked out these fraudulent military records about Bush. In an earlier time, these documents would have remained unchallenged until an obscure historian discovered the fraud long after all political significance had disappeared. Now with the Internet, no one dares attempt this sort of deception. Millions of eyes study every document that appears on the web with any fraud instantly detected and announced to the world. The media has long been the weak link in our democracy. We elect the President and members of Congress but who elected Dan Rather to be our political watch dog? What guarantees do we have that he will serve the nation's best interests? Dan Rather's time has past. The Internet is omniscient and self correcting. We don't need the media stooges any more.

Their power is broken.

Good riddance!!!
