Indeed, we bloggers served a crucial role in this election, but if we are to continue this revolution, we will need our own reporters and investigators on the ground at news events and opportunities.

This is where they get the metaphor of parasite. We are dependent on like-minded moles that leak breaking news to us like crumbs from the table. Our best efforts to date have been in the area of uncovering and discrediting their lies, but as good as it was, we were in the position of critical analysis of “their” stories.

We are already doing the investigatory work when we comb through the FBI files with our PJ's on, (or off). I understand we are now doing it not from the comfort of our den's, but by sending volunteer researchers to comb through millions of archived documents that are not yet digitized and web accessible. We have the resources that no MSM network or newspaper would budget for raw research.

I was energized by the vetting done on the CBS "documents". We were thousands of researchers involved in an organic clump of brains and intuition which could never have happened by any other means heretofore available.

We must now begin to gather our own raw reports of news events. We have bloggers in every city and hamlet. Let's begin to show up at news events and report them via our favorite Blog. Valuable reports will be disbursed organically and become headlines on an equivalent of "Drudge", "Pajama Journal” or whatever else evolves. (You don’t even want me to get on my rant about Drudge)

Afterthought: This means we will need to find ways to get our reporters credentialed, but I'm sure ways will evolve.

Let's relegate MSM to reporting police blotters and weather. We can do it. No more crumbs, we want the whole loaf.

I got a bit peeved with some of the "news" coming from the "so-called" MSM one evening-------just had to blow off some steam. Here's a portion of my take on the actions of the media--------------

~~~~~~
The lay-person does not have to be a "journalist" in this day and time with the remote control for the television set and the personal home computer to verify your's and the rest of the so-called Main Stream Media reporting or editorializing to realize the WHOLE story has not been told.

One wonders why society is in such a sorry state these days------perhaps if all who sit in front of the camera and host the "news" readings (not reporting), host the talk shows, producing print for newspapers would just look into a mirror, the answer would be blatantly clear-----you are the cause for much of the discourse because of your bias.
~~~~~~~~~~
The media centers didn't even respond to me. Wooo is me!
