Two more PoC yesterday. [View all]

My wife is Arapaho and works with a predominantly native group. Today in the copy room, a co-worker told her he finally looked at one of her FB Youtube posts. He really liked Bernie's speech and called his wife in to watch. They are backing Bernie now.

The Establishment relies on TV, but doesn't do well in new media and they don't get word of mouth. Could this be the cycle where new media plays the role TV did begining in 1960?
