No, that would be Univisión. “Is the Internet the fifth major TV network?”

No, that would be Univisión.

HBO is the most respected brand in television. But if we’re ruling out pay cable and The CW (yes, let’s), this is a perfectly legitimate academic just-for-grins rhetorical question. All things TV eventually will be distributed via the Internet or its successor anyway, but there you have a fun concept to debate over a couple of Red Bulls. What did we talk about before the Internet, anyway? I figure we’ve had a powerful fifth network for years: HBO, home of “The Sopranos” and a mob of other fine programming.

Online everyone gets a voice and it is generally easy to discern their bias. Whereas the major networks are concerned, few get a voice and a lot of effort is spent to hide their bias. A truly important story will hit the web and take 3 days to clear the media's system of checks. These checks are not about truth, but rather the impact on advertisers. Then they will squeeze the story between the latest terror alert and Paris Hilton coverage. I for one welcome the demise of our info overlords.

The rest of the country is older, grayer, and considerably uninterested in watching TV on the Internet. Advertisers know this, and spend money accordingly (at the networks). Watch the ad dollars.
