Just one add on:

Myth 8: The web is just a trend. No need to panic.
Fact 8: Change or die

This caricature of a headline points to:
1) the Economist’s piece back in October 2006 that basically said: News media is “Cause for concern but not for panic.”
2) the attitude old journalists show when talking to new media people, acting like web workers are some funny tech freaks, detached from reality

Nevertheless I agree that there is considerable rhetoric in the 10 myths piece, rhetoric not in the sense of manipulation, but in the sense of forced shortness…
