Transmission is easy now yes, the problem is that everyone does it fast ad nauseum and there is too much information to sift through. Still it is true that an incendiary piece of news will beg attention. The Times and other press of historical means are still the gatekeepers for much of public opinion. I wonder some times if we show too much of our hand with free information; allowing the culprit of any devious behavior a forewarning of when to cover up or cease an activity. The censorship is also murky because instead of the historically proper channels of denial and inquiry, we have tacit denial and subterfuge. I fear the internet has a dull edge for breaking news.
