Has anyone notice that some of the threads created here,linked to here, or otherwise mentioned here have
made their way to Main Stream Media within 3 to 4 days or so? I have been reading this site for some years
and only became a member in spring of this year. But as of late, I am noticing topics/alt news/consp news
quickly makes it way to FOX,CNN,NBC,NPR, etc. Now to be true, there are certain subjects that won't even
be analyzed or even mentioned(Yet), due to their troublesome and volatile nature. But it is rather apparent to me
that the more "Alternative" News has been becoming welcome in MSM.I think this is a wonderful step in the right direction, and the direct results of
the internet. Many people are smarter than the "Greatest Common Denominator"
angle that has been the general aim of MSM for decades. Because of this, many viewers choose to read, research,
substantiate, and conduct their own conclusions. It appears the MSM are finally accepting this, and taking the
necessary risks to accommodate the current level of awareness of their viewers. I still think that they themselves
are behind on the learning curve, but I feel that it is more open to new ideas and thoughts than I have seen in the
past.It may be "Too little,too late" but being an optimist, I am happy too see a step in the right direction.
There are too many unpaid,unbridled, and therefore uncontrollable journalists out there to contend with now.
MSM must move away from being a bunch of paid propaganda lackies, or they will eventually find themselves
in the bin with the "45 RPM,33RPM,and other outdated formats." Cheers to ATS.....Wildmanimal
