Yeah baby! ;-)

Honestly, nice diary and happily recced.

This ties in well with the various MSM threads floating around here.  It touches on the need (that we are working on with all this bloggy-discussion-evolution stuff) to continue growing the blogosphere and encourage it to mash and mingle with the "MSM" until the two aren't as distinguishable as separate entities.

To be clear, the MSM did not suddenly "get bad".  History is saturated with single-source public information controlled by power brokers.  We truly are breaking ground with all this.

And we shouldn't do anything to slow it down.

In fact, crossing the line and engaging directly with the MSM from our vantage point is a great thing.  One of the fasctinating things for me about this election cycle has been the ability to communicate directly - and richly - with MSM personalities by way of email and blogs. It both humanizes them to average schmucks like me and makes the act of creating MSM content more reflective of society at large. One particular incident that sticks out was Olbermanès Bush Slam about giving up golf to honor soldiers.  A DKOS commentor produced video of Bush playing golf after he claimed to have stopped, which Olberman then used on the show, and commented back in his DKOS diary that this had come from the commenter.

Time to "stop fighting" the MSM.  Time to become it.
