The Fringe Media (Glen Beck)

Last night Glen Beck began referring to the Main Stream Media as the Fringe Media. Based upon the latest Cable News ratings shown below, FNC has captured 50% of the viewing audience and if we can make it 51% the MSM will truly be the fringe.

Live + Same Day Cable News Daily Ratings for September 16, 2009

FNC – 1,548,000 viewers CNN – 563,000 viewers MSNBC –421,000 viewers CNBC – 212,000 viewers HLN – 336,000 viewers

I think it would be a very affective tactic if everyone on Free Republic followed Glen’s lead and began to refer to the MSM as the Fringe Media. Imagine the stigma they would have to deal with if they were no longer known as the “Main Stream”.

I prefer the “State Run Media” more, I believe the annoyance factor to them is much greater.

[SeattleBruce]

LOL...let’s call ‘em both names and really annoy them!

[cripplecreek]

Well they are the fringe media.

[cripplecreek]

State run fringe media would work.

[Logical me]

Glenn was hot yesterday and Fringe Media it is for me. Hope I can remember to use it. Go Glenn!

“The State-Run Fringe Media.”

[MNJohnnie]

I like it. Also like the term “dinosaur media”.

[Arm_Bears]

To me, “State Run” implies that they have no choice, when we all know they are complicit—Enthusiastically so.

Personally, I think Chris Muir’s (daybydaycartoon.com) identification of them as the “Fellating Media” is much more accurate.

[Overtaxed Patriot]

Fringe Media is so much more accurate since they represent the uninformed lunatics.

[LachlanMinnesota]

I like stenographer media

[Grampa Dave]

How about LFM ~ Lunatic Fringe Mediots?

Anything is better than MSM as they lost that claim about a decade ago.

I have pushing PLM ~ Progressively Liberal Mediots

LFM ~ Lunatic Fringe Mediots has a nice ring to it and will drive the lunatic mediots into a deeper insanity and depression.

Fringe State run media?

>>“The State-Run Fringe Media.”<<

SRFM. That’s how I’m replacing MSM

[Sans-Culotte]

They can only be the state-run media when democrats are in power. They become the hostile media when republicans are in power.

“The State-Run Dinosaur Stenographic Fringe Media.”

Okay, I think we have it covered.

[paulycy]

“The State-Run Dinosaur Stenographic Fringe Media.”

You forgot "concubine."

[Barb4Bush]

Just refer to them as the FM and you can have it both ways.

[Just A Nobody]

Enemy + Media = ENEMEDIA

[Puckster]

You forgot “concubine.”

Well.....I was trying to keep it clean.
