I agree. One thing the MSM has really learned how to do is to maintain their own version of reality and even adapt it to criticism without ever even mentioning the critics or giving the least impression that there is any source of information except themselves.

That total encapsulated vision can be very persuasive to the casual reader of whom there does not need to be more than 10-15 percent of the population to make the difference.

And they have done this in the face of having Fox be 'fair and balanced'. Pretty good trick. I think Fox needs to shift a bit from being fair and balanced to being corrective and constructive (or some Rio Linda-level version of that). Openly criticize the opposition by name. Point out particular lies and evasions, naming names and playing tape.

Shine the light on the MSM so the audience can see the scaffolding and the women behind the curtains.

Just my $0.02 worth.
