how to accelerate the media reformation

Hugh Hewitt is currently pondering the Eason Jordan "event" that happened apparently on CNN a few days ago. One of the things that I think is the best way to respond to this situation is to let them talk. The more they open their mouths, the more damage they do. What was I read on Drudge a few days, maybe weeks (information in the blogosphere is geometric; one day you start reading and then you realize it already two weeks later) that CNN and MSNBC's decline almost precisely matched Fox's net increase over the past five years? Essentially, the MSM have become the so called "cool" kids at school. They only hang out with each other, and their criteria for hanging out with each other is entirely superficial and subjective. They somehow manage to dominate the gossip landscape, even though most of the people talking about what the "cool" kids were doing either don't know the "cool" kids or only know them from the occassional foray into their rather exclusive clique. In other words, they have become tools. And what's really funny about this is that they don't know that they are tools. They still think they're cool, that everyone wants to be around them at the same time that they make their exclusivity all the more pronounced. Ah, to realize that life really is a John Hughes film. Fantasique!
