Great quote!  That video of Colbert at the press dinner was freakin' awesome ... although CSPAN is working to have clips taken down from video sharing services (They want to sell the bit themselves).

Nobody would have known about L'Affaire Colbert without web based video.  


 "The second reason Colbert made such a huge splash is the rapid advance of video on the web . Almost overnight, the media world has irrevocably changed as video is increasingly becoming as important as print and still images on the web. When, in a matter of hours, dozens of websites can post or link to a video and get the word out about a spectacular event, the role of the gatekeepers and the corporate media shrinks big-time. And it doesn't matter if the networks or CNN or Fox decides that they don't want you to see it -- they can't stop it. The people's network is now in working order. Progressives now have a television capacity; still rudimentary, perhaps, but powerfully effective." [emphasis mine]
