There's a new democracy in town, pardner

The gun banners are losing. Everything here, here, or here is true. I believe a big part of their eminent demise is the new democracy at work. The liberal media no long controls the few tubes. They no longer control the messages.

Remember when there were three major networks. Maybe four television channels and two big newspapers in every large town and city? As cable channels proliferated and they began to separate the Arpa.net from the Darpa.net, the major medias began to eat each other. One cable company after another was swallowed up. Papers began to merge or disappear.

Yeah, we're getting more TV channels (my Dish Network unit has a thousand channels) but we're not getting much more content. We're getting filler.

Now all the papers have a web version. TV viewers and paper newspaper readers decline daily.

Now everyman has a voice on the 'net, if they choose to. That same everyman can now challenge anything the anti's put out there. Moderate comments or turn them off? We'll link to them and beat them with facts.

They no longer control the channels. They no longer control the dialog. It's a new democracy. I like it.
