DISQUS

It seems Oran defeats his own argument. If (A) the web community forces a shift to the MSM's discourse, which in turn (B) make it mainstream, wouldn't you say that A is still ulimately the reason why it became mainstream? Before the internet, A would be impossible, so point B would never occur.
