According to Newsweek, the entire political media is an innocent bystander to politics -- somehow the reporters writing their stories have nothing to do with "the press" they are writing about.

As Obama inherits a severe economic crisis, two wars, and myriad other problems, it will be too easy for media issues to get pushed down the to-do list.

The new generation of media-savvy voters will take full advantage of the abundance of news and will add their voices to what will become a national, 24/7, no-holds-barred town hall meeting.

Instantly networked communications allow anybody see whatever they want and tomorrow's public exercise in democracy will be the first example of a massively transparent election.

Many in the media just can't force some misguided brand of phony objectivity this time around -- not with so much at stake.

The impotence of Drudge's attempts to get something to stick to Obama brings to mind the English expression "Brewer's Droop."

One place where I see a massive difference between now and 2004 is the explosion of direct to voter video. Great messaging on behalf of our candidate is not just coming from his campaign but from an explosion of sources.

If there's one thing about this presidential cycle that so excites me so much is just how much more irrelevant the traditional media has become.

What I find interesting about this first Internet political campaign is that nothing goes away. YouTube didn't exist in 2004. It was created in February of 2005.

It's as if everyone knows the race is over and humor is the best means by which McCain can be put out of his misery and that we can all release a collective sigh of relief.
