(58,162 posts)does he and the other media dinosaurs realize that the internet makes their opinions irrelevant?
when i grew up in the 50`s and well into the 70`s there were 3 networks and in my little city one newspaper. if i wanted a paper outside of my area i had to drive 50-100 miles to buy one.
today i can access any newspaper in the world,access to worldwide interactive social media,and satellite television.
we have the ability to make our own informed opinion on what we feel is relevant
