and I tend to agree...but I don't think that is where many of these folks started, nor their original intent...

The MSM co-opted these folks because they (the MSM) were terrified that these folks would hurt their bottom line...

Many bloggers turned to the nets because they wanted their voice heard, and the little guy doesn't get invited on Larry King to be heard...but how do you maintain your desire to be heard, and the driving momentum to your opining on your blog when you actually DO get invited onto Larry King, and ARE heard -- You don't, you're now one of them that you railed against suppressing your voice and rightness -- this is just cyclical...the Markos and Josh like bloggers will be usurped down the line by some other upstart...who will be co-opted by the big boys (or become a big boy if they are a pioneer)...
