I have been spending alot of time on this forum and watching CNN and I have noticed something strange.

A lot of the subjects and our discussions are not from mainstream media. This forum is the hearbeat of Americans. We discuss the news, what's happening in our state, our experiences and our feelings. We gleem information from all over.

What amazes me is that lately I have been hearing hosts on tv quoting word for word comments that I have read on this forum. Are we being heard? Are these commentators having their staff scour this forum?

Has anyone else noticed this or is it just hopeful thinking?
