They haven't been "mainstream," since World War II!!!
Walter Chronkite singlehandedly defeated the Unites States in the Vietnam War, for goodness sake!!! (along with help from John "Fonda" Kerry!!!)
How about be call the Broadcast Media (BM) ! The BM is biased and is carrying the kool-aid for the Kerry campaign!
LOL.
If you believe the FMSM can defeat the world's strongest military, then it is clear the political will to win doesn't exist.
Winning elections trumped winning the war.
