The End of the Alternative Media

Investor’s Business Daily posted an editorial yesterday about the future of the alternative media (that’s what you are reading right now!) under an Obama administration.  It lists some of the anti-free speech actions taken by the campaign to squelch opposing ideas.  The alternative media (talk radio and the internet) have played a role in recent presidential and congressional elections, and it has not been a role appreciated by the democrat party.  Their lives would be easier without pesky internet people checking their facts.  (Remember the Dan Rather scandel–that was uncovered due to the blog Little Green Footballs.  The photoshopped pictures of the Iran rocket launchings were also exposed by the internet–I think that was Little Green Footballs, also.  The phony pictures of damage to Lebanon in the war with Israel were also exposed on the internet).  Factcheck.org is a poliltically neutral organization, but it exposes democrat as well as republican lies.  We need a media that reports both sides of any issue, and right now the mainstream media is not doing that.
