I just find it incredibly ironic that "MSM" has come to stand for both "mainstream media" and "men who have sex with men". It was hard enough to tell the difference without using the same acronym for both!
I used to work with the son of the guy who was the news director at the local ABC affiliate. He told me that there is a VERY heavily gay presence in the newsmedia and that the writers and produce can't help but to consciously and unconsciously put their agenda into their stories.
