But it's a valid point in a roundabout way. I truly believe that the power, people and potential of social media IS a threat. It's a threat to unaccountable people, hate mongerers and anyone stuck in the past or unwilling to have themselves challenged. Of course the flip(video) side is that it's also a huge opportunity for hate mongerers too. But hey. the good guy (and gals) always win. That's why MediaSnackers is thriving not surviving.

I had to check the calendar to make sure it wasn't April 1st. Notice all the sources reporting these stories are in the traditional print or tv industries - I'll say no more. Now then, where did I put that pinch of salt? I think there was a DailyMail headline yesterday that said something like ‘websites are eating our childrens brains!’ or something to that effect.
