The first time I heard the term new media was in Laura Ingraham's book
"Power to the People" and excellent book . The term means the
Internet and talk radio. The popularity of both run parallel.
Neither are actually that new, I remember talk radio shows when I was a
kid in the Boston area and for 10 or more years before the Internet got
popular I was involved with message boards.
Laura in her book gives a couple of examples of the power of the new
media and how it changed decisions in Washington. Another such
example happened this week. The foolishness of the Pelosi crowd
trying their end run to alienate Turkey against us, so we would
no long have a way to bring supplies to our troops failed. The
indignation was immediate and strong and now the resolution has been
stopped. But ever vigilant, they will try something else if we
are not paying attention.
Good Bless America and the new media.
Thanks for dropping by,
