'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."'

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?

I use MSM because we all know what that means!

Great idea, Fred. We need a replacement...

OK, justanobody, you always have great ideas that I love to plagiarize ;o)

WooHoo! One down and millions to go!

Well, Tony Snow uses "Has Been" media, HBM. Many have used "Lamestream" media, LSM. I've heard the terms Old, Dinasour, Treasonous...

Presstitutes, Media Whores etc have been used to refer to the "reporters"

Anything strike your fancy. Other suggestions?
