Millions of people saw the USA Today headline on newstands all over the country. How many people will see NewsBusters?

That's the basic secret of how the MSM gets away it. They are gradually undermining their credibility, and their bottom lines are eroding, but it's a slow process. Meantime they still control the propaganda war.

"Millions of people saw the USA Today headline on newstands all over the country."

Which is precisely what the MSM counts on, they know their readers, the majority simply read a headline and take it as fact, they then feel informed and equipped to talk about it at the water cooler. Does anyone think that this is far more organized and intentional than just a few rogue reporters or journalists slanting the news?

Yours is an excellent summary of the news situation in this country. In mid America weekly newspapers are kept alive with AP propaganda and grocery ads. Tired wage earners catch 30 minutes of what passes for the news before falling into bed in dread of the next day. Even the most vigilant can't begin to call the vast left wing media to task for their daily digs at everything american.
