Ralphie coins a phrase

For those of you living in a cave (what are you doing with internet access?), there's the slang term "old school". Paralleling "back in the day", it means passe, obsolete, old-fashioned, as in "We knew about that years ago when I was in school".

In light of Rathergate, Eason Jordan, and Korangate, Hugh Hewitt coins a similar phrase "old media", which implies bogus, slanted, or poorly edited material. As in "No way could that be true, dude, that's so old media". Or "She didn't say that - you heard the old media version".

Use it early, use it often.
