How much power does the Internet have when compared to the television media?

[kentuck]

Do we have any power at all to compete with them in reporting more accurate news stories?

Or would we be like the opposite side of FOX News?

Is it needed?

1. It seems like there are a lot more inaccurate news reporting on the internet

In my opinion.

2. Depends on the 'market' you're thinking of, probably,

age-wise and other demographics.

As to accuracy, that's not easy to find anywhere, imo.

5. The Internet can be easily substantiated or debunked by the Internet , unlike WMD's or many

other things MSM pass on as news and is just an on running commercial for the 1% with one intent, Perception Management, and nothing to do with telling the viewers the truth .

7. Good point.

Just try slipping some of their crap past the eagle eyes on DU...

3. As Julian Assange pointed out to Chuck Todd as far as provable accuracy, Internet by far as far as

exposure, Faux,MSNBC, and CNN have more money than small countries, WHY ?? instead of dispensing information to the 99% they manage perception for the 1% and are over paid for it.

4. I think it has more power esp the right wing emails people always forward.

6. Depends on who you ask.

I got fed up with tv news a long time ago and just stopped watching tv altogether. So naturally, I think internet news is far more influential. I can find reporting from any of the sites I trust on the internet. Very few people I trust are on tv these days. I think tv is about 90% garbage.
