"Yesterday there were a few dozen providers; today news, views and attitudes stream through millions of gates. And the Web accepts all kinds of gatekeepers, each with unique rules for what matters, rather than the rules adopted by a class of professionals with set journalistic principles. For the old gatekeepers that's a big disruption. The charges made against Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry by Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, claiming that his medals were undeserved, could have been held out of circulation by newsroom gatekeepers, pre-Internet. By 2004, it was impossible to keep such a story quiet, and editors knew it."

But they tried their best until time and circumstance overwhelmed them.

I look forward to Thomas Lipscomb's upcoming commentary addressing this "perfect storm" that sounded the deathknell of the MSM stranglehold on news dissemination and their "agenda journalism".
