It could mean “My Story Media” or “My Slant Media”.

I Haven’t watched ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS in over 20 years, only watched MSNBC twice, left CNN in 2013 right after the government shut down when I watched them push the idea that Cruz had shut the government down when I knew it was actually Harry Reid, who blocked the budget bill. They also attacked conservatives, argued with t hem, cut them off in mid sentence, then rolled out the red carpet for Democrats.

I still watch Fox, but double check almost everything online. I’ve rarely caught them lying. Some of their people, like Megyn Kelly, show serious left leaning bias, or anti Trump bias, which is not their job. I Can’t get One America News.

Count commercials, you’ll see who controls what they publish. In the case of CNN it’s pharmaceutical companies. A distant second is insurance. I haven’t taken a definite count, need to, but Fox seems to be dominated by drug companies too, so it surprises me they speak out against Obamacare at all. Drug companies are making a major fortune since it was enacted. That’s about the only anomaly I’ve seen, Fox still speaks out about issues nobody else covers. Hillary’s emails, illegal immigration, the anti Trump protests and riots out west...but I still don’t trust them.

I also avoid the companies they advertise if possible, but I’ve done that for years. I figure if a company has the millions to sink into advertising on TV they don’t need my $2. I buy generic when possible, most of my clothes come from resale shops, it’s not hard to find near new pretty often.

Then there’s Trump...he’s been hitting the media hard, especially the NY Times and Washington Post. They are the two that have been the most dishonest and the most anti Trump in this election. He’s already brought a lot of attention to their dishonesty, and as his term sails along, he’ll do it some more. I think by the time he leaves office, we’ll see an entirely different media landscape.
