He's right. And although I am not American, it has been distressing to see over the years, the media in many European countries, and many European parties, start using strategies from the U.S in these areas.

The Internet is 2.0 of that. And just like the printing machine press, it brought about significant technological/cultural/etc advancement, so did the Internet. But its side effects. And also how the media made use of all of these catalysts
