Yeah, some people think Kennedy actually created the space program. We know that isn't the case because he never wrote any programing code, invented fuel mixtures, etc.

It is odd how some people think. I remember when this first came up and thinking, Oh he was a senator probably had something to do with moving it from government use to more general use.
What was immediately clear was that the vast bulk of media wasn’t interested in understanding what he meant or even exploring what the actual claim might be.
In the conversations that have occurred, seems one topic isn’t really being discussed. What is the INTERNET. Until you define it, how can you decide anything?
Seems to me that politically the INTERNET is more defined by scope and or access than specific technology.

Re: point of view
Yet, we're talking about the media. So if I follow you, the media is sees democrats as the opposition.
