Did Romney ‘WIN’ The Debate?

[MADem]

1. This is why social media is important to young people--hell, all people.

I am the first to roll eyes at "the facebook" and "the twitter" because I am an old asshole and these are not "my" toys, but what "social media" had to say about the debate was 180 out from what the corporate media had to say.

What's interesting is that corporate media could NOT CONTROL social media. They also didn't PAY ATTENTION to it, either. This is why, two days later, the early shows are just NOW getting around to showing us pictures of Big Bird flipping the bird at Mitt.

Corporate media can't keep up. They're also not relevant--they are not the only game in town, they are not the only place to get "the word." They also aren't saying things that many of us believe, so we turn them OFF when they start bullshitting us.

So, I tip my hat to social media, because that's where the true temperature is taken with regard to this debate. The corporate media has a fat old bastard at the head of the long shiny table, barking orders, and telling people who work for him how it's gonna go. He can't control the people tweeting and posting on facebook.
