Before, the voices I heard were people in my life and my local community.

The media was just the media; they'd get put in their own box for analysis and skepticism.

Twitter's great power is controlling peoples' impression of what the people around them are thinking and saying. Or, rather, allowing various aggressive agenda-driven groups to control that.

So now the corps don't just control the voice of the media; they control the voice of your community too.
