The Old Media Is Dead, Long Live The New Media.

The dinosaur media is and has been dying for a long time.

There are reasons why those people in that media are for such ideas as the Fairness Doctrine, Net Neutrality, and the controlling of news content by the government.

Reporters are supposed to be fare arbiters of the information which forms the facts that allow the American public make an informed decision about the events of the day.

The mainstream/drive-by/government run media have been failing at the last statement in this post, for a very long time.

It has been proven, over and over, that the majority of the media are firmly on the progressive side and report the news with that slant.

They spike stories that should be reported and report on stories that do not add up to a hill of beans.

The killing of the the old media began with talk radio, continued with the invent of the Internet, and rolls on throug the Advent of the cell phone and citizen journalists.

Another thing is that one does not need a degree to be a reporter or to have a website where you can post your reports.

The longer we go, the more the mainstream/drive-by/government run media continues to die.
