Yes, and I get the feeling that paradoxically the Internet has re-enforced this tendancy. On the one hand, we dont have to read or listen to just ABC, CBS or NBC (that's good); on the other hand, we can just go read the "Daily Me" in the blog of our choice. You got a crazy idea? Just type it in Google and you will find an online support group to justify it. In a way, that's democracy, but some days it just feels like the whole world is becoming Orange County.
