David,

They would do that anyway, hun.

The thing that none of the dinosaurs in the MSM have figured out is that they are no longer the gatekeepers of information. Their gate started crumbling with the Monica Lewinski affair and was totally blown down by al Qaida on 9/11.

The more they continue to act as the Democratic party’s propaganda machine the faster and faster they will hemorrhage readers/viewers. I am a good example of this. 10 years ago I watched TV, went to movies and read magazines such as Time and Newsweek. I have not touched a copy of Time or Newsweek in probably a good 5 years. I finally got disgusted with the crap coming out of the MSM that I canceled my Dish TV subscription in January. Now the only time my TV is turned on is to watch a movie on DVD. And you know what? I do not miss it at all! The last movie I saw in the theatres was “300″, the one before that was “The Return of the King”. I can count on one hand the movies in my DVD collection that have been made in the last 7 years. The Incredibles, the LotR trilogy, 300 and the first two X-Men movies.

I am not the only one. I now know more people who do not own a TV then do. I also do not know anyone who has a subscription to Time or Newsweek.

No hun, if anyone should be worried it is the MSM and the companies that own them.
