The author states:
Their first weapon is the systematic misuse of language.

Then follows that sentence with...
Mainstream and liberal newspapers write

Call me crazy, but according to the definition of the word, our newspapers and media ARE NOT mainstream.

SYLLABICATION: main·stream
PRONUNCIATION: mnstrm
NOUN: The prevailing current of thought, influence, or activity.
ADJECTIVE: Representing the prevalent attitudes, values, and practices of a society or group: mainstream morality.

Let's begin by taking back the use of the language. We can refer to the media, the press, periodicals etc. without prefacing the word with "mainstream."

we have to contend with the enemy from within...the liberals and the MSM.

You are absolutely correct Jan.

I can't tell the difference between the islamo-fascists and the pinko's.

I know just what you mean. So far we do still have our heads attached to our necks/shoulders, though. Let's give credit where it's due. ;*)

Great point! Would you say the media, both TV and newspaper, for the most part are just tools for the Democratic party?

True...those "peaceful", loving pinko's would NEVER "intentionally" cut your heads off...but they sure set it up to have EIGHT police cars respond to your counter-protest! Lucky for you there weren't any trigger happy policemen responding that night!

Point taken. I am prepared to make a correction and never use the word 'mainstream' again, it's just a habit.

'Twould be nice to coin a replacement that really catches on. Any ideas?
