Sounds pretty serious!! Bloggers have been bringing in the BIGGUNS to the News World while the MSM has been toeing the political lines!!
This has happened so much that CBS desperately tried to CREATE their own BIGGUN, only to be caught red handed by the Bloggers and they have BECOME the BIGGEST BIGGUN of 2004!!
Could it be that the MSM is a part of the Socialist Elite Movement to undermine the US Constitution and replace it with the European Socialist Constitution?
Not sure if I'd label as precisely as you did, but I do believe the media sees itself as an upper tier in a tiered/caste-like society; and will do what it can to maintain and advance control of the masses by elites.
