Seems John Kerry does not like the new Media, and is carping on it and calling it the 'submedia'. He derisively says:
"We learned, that the mainstream media, over the course of the last year, did a pretty good job of discerning. But there's a subculture and a sub-media that talks and keeps things going for entertainment purposes rather than for the flow of information."
Well, let's see Mr. Frenchman, what the submedia is so guilty of. Uh, exposing Forgerygate and Dan Rather for the fraud he is. Giving a medium for the majority of swift Boat Vets to express their displeasure with John Kerry.
Allowing such treasonous organizations like moveon.org and the other 527 outfits to give a voice to the millions of people that were disenfranchised by McCain-Feingold (Like how I used Disenfranchised?).
Even allowing the loonies at the Democrat Underground to spout their idiocy so that noble senators like Boxer could preach conspiracy theories that had no basis in fact or evidence to back them up (But it was the seriousness of the charges after all).
The New Submedia is a wild west of opinionand fact checking. Something the BBC, NYT and CBS dont seem to be able to do with any accuracy. Sure wild insane theories are expounded daily on the Internet, but then you dont have to read them.
But they do catch you old media guys with your pants down a lot, and I guess that is why Kerry does not like this new 'submedia'. after all, if not for the new Submedia, he probably could have gotten away with all his lies about his tour in Vietnam like he did 30 years ago.
