Writing for the web Is fast. I can still beat most news sites, just me, one person, a writer with a solid content management system groomed to his writing style. When CNN gets a big break on their TV network, for example, I sometimes rush to my desktop, go to the CNN site and wait and wait for the story to show up on their home page, even in news flash mode. Within thirty seconds of their story, I'm pointing to it. But the web should run faster than TV because the web has multiple channels and television is serial, it gets bogged down in the yawning rhetoric of Washington politicians and political analysts.
TV is amazingly repetitive.
