YOU are the New Media

The dispersion of news events is no longer monopolized by three liberal networks.

Gone are the days when a Walter Cronkite told America what was newsworthy and how to think about events. Now, in this new technology of the internet (Facebook, blogs, tweets, email blasts) YOU are the news media.

These past few years have seen the rise of the power of this new technology. While all three liberal networks have towed the democratic party line of supporting health care reform, the stimulus bill and wild, out-of-control spending, a groundswell of average citizen voices has risen to defy the talking points of entrenched news organizations.

And these citizens have been using the modern news technology of Facebook, blogs, Twitter and YouTube to get their message across. Matt Drudge and Andrew Breitbart are two such average citizens utilizing modern technology to present a counterpoint to the mainstream media. And many others -- just average people -- are resorting to reporting the news the "way it ought to be" -- without bias, and with truth, honesty and fairness.

You don't realize how influential your opinion can be before many in the audience of the new media.

The threat to the status quo is so real that the Federal Trade Commission is seeking to tax websites like the Drudge Report and distribute those funds to more tradional news outlets. But beware: "Once Congress has the power to fund the news, it can at any time attach 'strings' designed to promote certain viewpoints - in the name of fairness, of course." -- see article here.

Your country is looking for people who really love this nation to speak out against the injustices that they see and to not be content with being funneled with one-sided news stories that chip away at this nation's greatness; its freedoms and its Judeo-Christian heritage.

Speak up Americans. The moral and cultural direction in which this country goes is so dependent upon popular opinion. And popular opinion is so dependent on the voices speaking out. Use what modern technology there is and stand up for the truth.
