The article is headlined “The White House Scramble to Tame the News Cyclone,” and examines today's incessant news cycle, driven faster and faster by the Internet, which has turned the cycle “into a more ferocious beast.”

From Time [emphasis added]:

the White House has proved to be a harder perch from which to dominate the conversation. Last summer, a single phrase - "death panels" - nearly derailed health care reform, as town halls were flooded with angry voters who got their information online. That there was no proposal for anything that resembled a death panel did not matter; the idea went viral anyway.

Ugh. Those GOP mini-mobs last summer were fueled by the Internet? The “death panels” nonsense got traction because of the Internet?

In truth, it was Fox News, along with right-wing AM talk radio, that drove both that stories last summer. But too often the Beltway press doesn't like the shine a spotlight on Fox News' open advocacy role. Because it's just a news outlet, don't you know.
