“The Medium Is The Weapon”

“The Media is how America fights its civil wars”, Gerard Vanderluen asserts, and he’s right. Gerard adds, “In this war at least half the country is both under-served and is painfully aware it is being under-served and lied to. In pop culture parlance, ‘We’re going to need bigger guns.’”

Gerard has what he promises to be the first in a series proposing a successor news product, that like talk radio today, doesn’t abandon legacy technologies like the newspaper, but incorporates them as part of a holistic information whole. Read the whole thing.
