Oprah is still in the top five game changers. Huff Po and MSNBC have done more for progressives who had no voice until they came along. Most of media is still hung up in pleasing the right wing of our country. This is why the right wants to control the Internet. The Internet is our window to reality facts.

You want a gamechanger in the MEDIA?

Ariana et.al. - check out your own HP byline by Capt. Luis Montalvan today on 'Collateral Damage.; This story is brilliantly crafted and dead on. You should hire this guy and give him a huge budget.

This is real journalistic commentary, a la Ed Morrow. It is, hands down, the best written prose i have read to date on HP.

How about actor Kal Penn? He just got busted for running the administration's NEA / propaganda office. Inappropriately using tax payer funds to dictate art should count for something.

Good idea. We need to start making celebrities of people who do good instead of the Octomoms and other weird or ethically challenged.

Were man as noble as a salmon
What a nourished World this would be
Full of love and honor and goodness
And filled with Gallantry

Making a list of "game changers" indicates the game has changed. I'm waiting to see some evidence that this is the case.
