“The Medium Is The Weapon”

May 6, 2009 - 5:41 am - by Ed Driscoll

“The Media is how America fights its civil wars”, Gerard Vanderluen asserts, and he’s right. Gerard adds, “In this war at least half the country is both under-served and is painfully aware it is being under-served and lied to. In pop culture parlance, ‘We’re going to need bigger guns.’”

Gerard has what he promises to be the first in a series proposing a successor news product, that like talk radio today, doesn’t abandon legacy technologies like the newspaper, but incorporates them as part of a holistic information whole. Read the whole thing.
