Ken,
I agree with your statements. Except for my question tagged at the end, my post was said tongue-in-cheek. I just forgot to add the tongue-in-cheek icon.There's certainly some space to maneuver in figuring out the extent of the media's influence in public opinion, and the complex love-hate relationship between them. The power of the MSM is definitely undermined by the general public's thirst for information now emboldened by the individualism of the internet. But even that presents its own kind of problems and I would question the WT article's assertion that the interent (youtube specifically) is somehow "unfiltered".
