Blankley's article summarizes it all. What it summarizes is the glaring evidence that a new and highly revolutionary world is emerging right before our eyes. Gutenberg' printing press was the invention that revolutionized the dissemination of news in the Medieval world. The invention of moveable type made information more easily available and more rapidly to Everyman, giving him for the first time a means of examining the nature of truth. It marked the beginning of the demise of Authority, represented then by the Roman Church and its monarch, the Pope, and all lesser monarchs, kings, emperors, and other types that kept their subjects in abject ignorance and dependence. Gutenberg's invention hailed the beginning of the printed pamphlet and book world. The printed word could now be spread among the public one pamphlet at a time, one person at a time. The Internet is the invention that marks the death of the newspaper and the newsroom and the Dan Rathers of the world who in the past, like Popes and Monarchs, monitored and controlled what we read and how we are to interpret it.
