On insider claims that people could get in quot;dangerous quot; situations, there s scams amp; fraudsters out there, the media is just better, and the like. Sounds like he s just protecting his job. populist Thu, 06 Sep 2007 22:33:36 GMT http://www.midwest-populistamerica.com/articles/does-media-matter/ So, I suppose, in response to the question; does media matter? the following answer is best suited: It only assumes significance if you make it matter by continuing to treat it as though it has legitimacy and supremacy over all other forms of communications. However, if you attempt to make your own media matter, then - in this age of limitless potential for publicity, ushered in by the expansion of the Internet - you can acquire an audience despite your refusal to submit to the old guard of communicative forms that are quickly becoming obsolescent, anyway. populist Sun, 18 Mar 2007 18:16:01 GMT
