I have said it once, and I will say it a thousand times until people get this through their heads.

THE MEDIA. ARE. EVERY. BIT. AS POWERFUL. AS THEY. HAVE ALWAYS. BEEN.

If you account for the tech censorship, yes. They are more powerful than ever.

Not quite...because we are HERE...and there...and everywhere.

Don't need to letter box drop or mass message via a controlled broadsheet newspaper; or one of four heavily censored and vetted broadcast TV channels. And Americans have STILL got their guns. Never been easier for a 'dissident'.

When the media turns on the tap. the hot water flows. They have brigades of idiots who think they "are informed" by watching them.

I'm not sure what is worse, the old days where we were isolated and had to ingest media swill, but we often won on election night, or now having contact with each other and sites like this, but usually losing on election night because the fix is in.
