Can we stop using MSM as an abbreviation for the far left media? There is nothing 'mainstream' about the media.

God, I feel exactly the same way. Call it the old media or we could go low and call it what it is, The Lamestream Media.

The old established/liberal/socialist media is America's most ruthless, relentless, and destructive enemy.

"Call it the old media "

I like the new term, "Antique Media"
It certainly is no longer main stream.
In the last year, they have really gone over the cliff.

Absolutely. The LSM as the fourth estate has been an utter failure. From idealism to agitprop, the LSM has pushed for their own definition of what America should be. Liberalism has morphed from socialism after the economic underpinning of their idiology has been discredited. (You can thank Milton & Freidrich and the Chicago boys for that!) So how do you hide in broad daylight without anyone seeing you? You become the establishement. You get respectability by becoming teachers and journalists, bureaucrats and administrators. Bref they invoke the american ideal of freedom and liberty while at the same time they dismantle the very underpinnings of american society and culture. Once they are done, America will be a different place. A country unrecognizable. The old men who built this country will be cast away, their words manipulated to advance a contemporary vision of an America contrary to the vision of it's founders.

The LSM is the facillitator supported by popular appeal through a vociferous hollywood elite who unmoored by any sense of country or duty will lay waste to traditional american values.

Am I an alarmist? Well take america circa 1959 and today. You can draw our own conclusions.

Americans cannot let this happen. In the end the destiny of america will be the destiny of the world. You guys carry a heavy burden and have allies in the fight however you guys will shoulder most of the burden.
