I was readin the other day that viewership of all Tv is down and unseasonably so, so much so that the broadcast and cable channels are truly perplexed by the trend they're seeing.

They tried to play it off as the influence of how DVRs/TiVo have changed the way people watch shows anymore. To some degree that's problee logical.

My hope, and I feel a big part being played in that trend, is that people have become increasingly distrustful of the media and have chosen to turn more to the web for their news and entertainment.

Without the web and the availability of international media online as well as many "other" news outlets online, we in the US wouldn have a prayer in knowin what's really goin on.

Maybe the media was always slanted, though I doubt ever so much as is seen today, but, anyone expecting the news to simply be reported sans the slant/agendizing it's given these days and hoping to find anything resembling truth, then utilizing that view alone to help craft their views will be sadly misguided.

It takes a lot more effort these days to dig down and find out what's REALLY goin on
