Talk radio has made an enormous run around establishment media. But the Internet is making an end run around talk radio. Suddenly we're faced with an information age.

The sea change that has come is the information age. We don't have to just read The New York Times anymore. We can pull up something on the Internet and get any news that we like.

On my morning run, I listen to sports talk radio.

So along with several very popular Internet sites, talk radio has served as alternative media that gives listeners information that they otherwise would not hear.

It is the greatest truth of our age: Information is not knowledge.

American media has just become talk radio, incredibly partisan name-calling and op-eds.
