CNN is using Media Matters as a video-tape source!
The internet officially has eclipsed Cabal News as the legitimate news source! Showing the Pat Robertson clip on CBN, "obtained from Media Matters."

1. That's good! They're adapting and adjusting
This gives me hope that they are starting to understand that one form of media and information dispersal can complement the other. It doesn't have to be a them-us situation. Cooperate, adapt, adjust, or become passe!!!

6. I think it is, it's the first I ever heard Media Matters used as source..
on CNN - although I believe Keith Olberman referenced it once or twice.

7. Yea, I was LMAO last night at a show on Bravo
Which was just replaying parts of funny viral web videos.

The videos used the openness of Net to gain popularity because TV ignores amateurs. Then TV decides to play them because they're free or cheap and they can make a wad of cash inserting commercials in-between the videos.

Once again we're being used by the media corporations. Nothing new I guess.
