They also use "network" without adding "cable" quite often.

Classy. =) If you don't think it's mass media, maybe you should edit that wiki entry. Probably because you'll use it being mass media as the basis for some other argument? Useful!

Little is relative. And besides, it's not the size of the boat, it's the motion of the ocean. =) Did Will claim that KO was *not* part of the MSM? Can we try to stay focused here?

I *love* different opinions. =) The problem with Mass Media, especially Fox News, is it seems to be more about pushing Mass Hysteria, than information. There are some general exceptions, like PBS. Although PBS is interesting, because it's not all the same content. My local PBS station could have quite different shows than your local PBS station, for instance. They all have a great selection to choose from though. Quality programming. =) ... >> 30 million?
