I don't believe in MSM, I just believe in me

I'm not bragging . . .

I know this isn't the most important story in the world or even in the KC area.

It's just a fact that close Kansas City News watchers saw it coming first by reading TKC.

While I should write something obnoxious like:

EVEN ON A SLOW NEWS DAY TKC BEATS THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA!!!

I know that's not really true and the only reason for most of the bluster of this blog is because I've heard that it annoys humorless newsies to no end.

Nevertheless, when I saw a story about a KC based Beatles video . . . I couldn't help but sense something familiar:

OP Man Sells Beatles Film For $6,500

Not a bad story . . . And there was an exclusive interview.

Still, TKC showed it to readers from a UK news site while it was still developing:

Long, lost Kansas City Beatles video resurfaces after 44 years!!!

On October 28th no less.

Then TKC linked another Brit news story regarding the sale of the film earlier this month on November 6th:

Sold: "The one and only motion picture in existence of the one and only concert the Beatles would ever perform in Kansas City."

So yeah, that feeling of déjà vu that close news watchers get . . . Sometimes TKC is the inspiration of that sensation (no homo).

And it's not like I contend that blogs will ever replace mainstream news outlets . . . It's just that . . . More often than anybody cares to think . . . People are noticing less of a difference.
