    The Debate is Over

    It's time to face it: the MSM, especially television, is dying as sources of political news. Witness Larry King cancelling Michael Moore for Paris Hilton.

    The debate is when blogs will overtake the traditional media causing the Bloated Talking Heads to lose their ad revenue, and thusly their jobs.

    Newspapers are losing circulation. I cancelled my subscription years agon and get all of my current event news from blogs. I subscribe to most liberal magazines, but for day-to-day news I trust only one source: the blogs.

    Especially when you factor in the younger generations who virtually live on myspace, etc., the death of the MSM is inevitable.
