It's getting harder and harder to shut out ANYthing, INCLUDING THE TRUTH! Of course, there's a lot more NOISE, now, too, but transparency is becoming harder and harder to AVOID, and most folks turns out are pretty OK with that.
But bad guys yearn for the days when you just had to kill a guy and muzzle the newspaper that you've got in your hip pocket, or make 2 phone calls and trust that the major news networks would skirt key issues for you.
Now we're ALL reporters, in a very real sense. And we're not even all that sophisticated in the new possibilities. And if the majors get muzzled, that's a SCOOP and Internet fame for somebody ELSE.
But you can sure bet that FB and YouTube are doing everything they can to keep the NEXT Trump from getting the word out. I just hope we manage to keep the government out of it. There's lots of pressure from more than one direction to limit free speech, because the last few years have been so LOUD. But the reason it's loud is because people are getting a voice, and that voice is quite a bit different (more raucous and irreverent) than the carefully spoon-fed drivel we've been consuming since the invention of TV.
