What does the health care debate teach us about the media?

Here are my notes.

1) The liberal biased mainstream media has a rapidly diminishing influence on American opinion

2) Talk radio and the internet are the new tools of political discourse

3) The credibility of the mainstream media has been severely damaged by such scenes as Brian Williams riding in the President's limo and Jeff Immelt (CEO of GE and NBC) being an insider in the White House.

4) Conservatives are the new activist being empowered by talk radio and the internet. The can now bi-pass the liberal elite media who had previously controlled the political discussions in America.

5) Liberal elite reporters are being displaced by Conservative commentators like Beck, O'Reilly and Limbaugh. Liberal prominence is being greatly diminished

6) Liberal domination in politics is not inevitable
7) The American Constitution unsures free speach, but in order for Americans to remain free we must exercise it
