An updating and expansion on McLuhan's famous media quote by Joey Skaggs. Even Skaggs performance art satires seem dated and quaint these days. He can't keep up with the absurdity and surreality of modern media. 

One huge change I have noticed is the existence of a 'boutique' news media now. No matter what you political persuasion, you can find a custom made outlet with content that supports your individual bias. That is the by-product of being able to distribute information so cheaply. The problem is you get what you pay for. The shakiest of web sites can gussy themselves up to look legitimate, while the old corporate mass media continues to dumb down their product to attract a progressively illiterate audience for advertising revenue. Get a hold of a time magazine from the 40's and compare it to last week's.
