Yesterday on FNC, Bernie Goldberg suggested that we quit referring to the legacy media as the “main-stream-media”. He commented that they are anything but “main-stream”. I heartily agree.
The folks that marched on DC and attend town-halls are “main-stream” and the legacy media refuses to give them any real acknowledgment, understates their numbers, and concentrates on fringe elements that they can exploit negatively.
Calling the LATimes, NYTimes, WashPost, CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN the MSM gives them an undeserved status and more deference than they warrant.
I agree with Goldberg that the alphabet soup of network TV is no longer mainstream. However, rather than call them by euphemisms why not call what the are: Marxist demrat shill media.
We have allowed the left to call themselves anything but commies for years. To wit: Progressive, liberal, socialist and left. Time call a spade a spade.
The state run media should be treated like an old boyfriend. Sell his jewelery and move on to a better situation.
Bernie is late
Rush has been saying “Drive-by Media” for a while.
Also, enough with calling the NYT the “paper of record”. That used to be true, but no longer. It’s too selective in what it records and its “news” is goes through a far left liberal filter.
I agree that “Mainstream Media” no longer applies.
Sycophant Media
Socialist Media
State Run Media
Statist Media
