Count de Monet: “It is said that the people are revolting.”
King Louis XVI: “You said it. They stink on ice.”
– “History of the World: Part I”
Out of the mouths of babes … and B-movie comedies come our words of wisdom. The people are indeed revolting. It makes sense. Americans have found their politicians revolting for decades. Now the tables are turned.
And no matter how often and loudly Donny Luzzatto tells the public to shut up and sit down, it's not going to work. The MSM will never again be the dominant voice in the public square.
The new tools enable voters of both sides to speak out and organize more easily. Whichever side is in power will discover that opposition can form even when the media ignore an issue.
The Internet revolution is inflaming political activists and politics may never recover. It’s less messy than the guillotine, but the tech rebellion is severing ties with old media just as cleanly.
buh, bye Donny. You are excess overhead.
