Ironically true to a point. In the time between Google and Google Books, a citation pulled from a book or an old newspaper always lost the argument to a citation from Bob's Biased Blog. If information was not on the Internet, it was automatically suspect. That is not how I would choose to judge facts, but I always lost that argument too.

Also, as college students found the Internet faster to research than finding and reading physical books, much information entombed in books was not being considered by the younger generation.
