It is imperative that the current media not continue into 2012. There is no justifiable way to explain what they did to Ron Paul as honest journalism and to have them stick around is just as much an attack on our freedoms as the corrupt politicians that they mask.

It's great that BreaktheMatrix is just getting started, I hope it grows by leaps and bounds in the next few years.

We owned the Internet this election season because we are The People and we had a place to have a voice.

Unfortunately, the blue hairs and joe sixpack weren't as Internet savvy and most people just don't care about politics enough to pay any more attention than sitting in front of a tube and having things fed to them.

But technology is finally starting to catch up and we need to encourage it. The average joe needs to be able to sit in front of that tube and get our Internet voice fed to him.

The Internet is starting to provide TV content...it's in its baby stages right now but once it takes off there's no stopping it. Instead of just millions of web sites there will be thousands of TV stations.

The big media companies see this and are starting to work to stop it. We need to be ever vigalent that we are on the side of the new technology that will bring the demise of the current media.

Ron Paul dominated the Internet but lost the election. Why? Because young people get their news from the Internet, and old people get it from the television and printed newspaper. Unfortuntely, old people vote and young people don't. Paul's message of liberty resonated with the younger and better informed Internet users, but right now we're outnumbered.

The good news is that the young people of today are the old voters of tommorow. The revolution is coming..... sooner or later.
