Do you have a problem with the word "may"? Accurate understanding begins with accurate reading. You could, if you wanted, research the first time I ever used that phrase. I don't know when it was, but it could be as early as my first postings on FR in 1998.

lol. research when you first used the phrase? well, when I said delusional, I wasn't kidding. by the way, now you're saying maybe you used the phrase in 98. before, you said you used it "here on FR about three years ago." Well that'd be about 5 years AFTER 1998. And before you try to backpedal some more, you didn't say you "may" have said it 3 years ago. You said you "may" have been the first, when you did say it, which you claimed was 2003, but now claim may have been 5 years earlier. So apart from having nothing factually correct in your post, it was a great post. lol. you sound like John Kerry. I have no doubt you'll be a successful politician!

I found this post, where BillyBob claims without qualification that he coined the term, and where he once again pegs his first usage to 2003, at least 4 years after it was already in use on the net...Algore, is that you??:

I was the one who first started using the phrase "lamestream" media, here on FR about two years ago. But MSM has caught on and is now the standard.
