Iran is in the midst of what may turn out to be a full-blown revolution, and where are people who really care turning for their news? CNN? The networks? No. Try Huffington Post, Twitter and YouTube. The civil strife in Iran, and the way it's been covered - or not covered - by the regular news outlets, has brought about the official beginning of the post-MSM age. It isn't even worth the trouble to pick up the remote and click on the television - it's all right there, in real time, unfiltered, without a lot of blow-dried anchors injecting their moronic opinions.YouTube is so sensitive to its new role as a means of exposing oppression that it's suspended its rules against posting violent content. Of course, finding stuff on YouTube can be a chore, which is why there's Citizentube (don't go there unless you want to see people dying and getting their heads kicked in). Meanwhile, The Huffington Post has had bloggers covering the whole thing 24/7, and has put together an aggregation of Twitter feeds.
CNN doesn't have to worry about covering Iran - it's taken care of. They can now focus their precious resources on the stories they really care about.
