Agreed, all round - as far as reliability, social media are akin to the experiment 
with the gorilla in the lecture hall: every student had a different take on what 
happened.

Yesterday I chatted with a coworker who is intelligent, articulate, and highly 
respected.  He said he hasn't used traditional media for 10 years now, 
because everytime he had inside knowledge of a story that went to the news 
the published version had errors.  So he relies solely upon social media and 
blogs for his daily news.

I don't think he's getting a balanced or objective view of the world - but I also 
think he is one of a very large minority that, for a variety of reasons, grows 
daily.
