The Internet must now be included in the MSM and it doesn’t take much reading of various “popular” sites to realize this.

Some of the threads are nothing but propaganda, designed and executes for just that purpose. People cite Wikipedia all the time, many times as their only source when practically everyone with a pulse knows the “facts” on that site can be changed by almost anyone minute by minute.

Most contributors us the blogs as a theraputic device, giveing their “opinion” on this and that, much of it simply junk. Hell, you could be reading a junior college freshman simply typing in propaganda for the instructor for extra credit.

Take MCNBC, putatively an “honest” purveyor of events but in reality simply a propaganda organ.

Most of these sites are now as leftist as the “traditional MSM” and those that aren’t get very marginal readership.

We all know about Moveon.org and their ilk.

It is becoming almost an impossibility for the average citizen to get honest reporting from any source

(I wrote this myself and I approve it’s message)

P.S. If Obama wins I don’t believe I’ll have the stomach to watch the ride down PA AVE lined with his demographic and lefists of all strips, or his searing in. I don’t thing mid America will be there. He may win the EC but the Red/Blue map will remain largely red. He’ll win by taking the inner cites and the money centers. So here I am using the blog for therapy, geez.
