...people with modems... Well, that phrase right there tells just how out of touch he is. Even my 72 year old mom has broadband.
Technically, I suppose you could be generous and assume he was also including cable modems. But I bet that’s not what he was thinking when he said it. |

The only problem with what he said is that they really weren’t scooped by Johnny Pajamas Blogger, they (allowed themselves) to be beaten by the fricking Enquirer for god’s sake |

I understand that, shark, but had it been in the old world where it was only the NE pushing the story, they could have safely ignored it.
But it was the bloggers who continued to push the story and build the buzz, to the point that the MSM had to acknowledge it. Edwards gave them the out when he contacted ABC, but regardless of that, their credibility was being questioned daily by the pajama set for not looking into it to that point. |

I agree this would more likely been ignored if it was only the NE pushing the story. On the other hand, the Pajamas Media would likely have had nothing without the NE’s work.
So if the NE decided to let the story go, it may have never come to light.
The ’Pajamas Media’ will likely never have the resources of a brick and mortar establishment and will likely be stay 95+% reactive to the Old Media’s lead on what gets covered. |

I don’t disagree, however the point here is what constitutes "we" in "we determine what is or isn’t news". That determination is obviously no longer the exclusive domain of the MSM. |

Just as when the invention of the printing press signaled the end of the exclusive monopoly the church had on possessing, and thereby interpreting, the bible, internet access has done the same by freeing the "news" And we see how well THAT went, Bloody Protestants....interpreting the Bible...destroying the One TRUE Church...Bah Humbug...Give me the Holy Office of the Inqiuisition, any day.... |

The Nat. Enquirer was the first to break the OJ story, too, I believe. They deserve a better rap. (no, not fish wrap....) |
