The Irreleventsia #5
Via Instapundit:
"People are turning increasingly to alternatives such as the Internet for news about the presidential campaign, shifting away from traditional outlets such as the nightly network news and newspapers, a poll found. . . ."
I find this is true for myself as well. However, the article makes no mention of the most important distinction (to me, anyway): that of Big Media on the Internet and actual new news channels such as bloggers. I would guess that people are not moving their eyeballs "broadcast TV" to "interactive TV"; rather, they are shopping around for sources which fit better into their world view. Blog lurking is perfect for such window shoppers.
