Being a fan of accurate naming of those things within our present shared common delusion, perhaps we ought consider a new term besides "MSM"?
** 'Mainstream' Is a Misnomer, What You're Reading Is Regime Media http://russia-insider.com/en/mainstream-misnomer-what-youre-reading-regime-media/ri16304 ------------------------------------------------------------ by Marko Marjanović on Wed, Sep 7, 2016 Here's a mental exercise for you. First think of any issue of grave importance for the Washington establishment. Then ask yourself if US mainstream media was state-run would its coverage of it be any different from what it is now?Think about it, on the domestic front the big hitters continue to say that the economy is doing fine and the post-2008 recovery was great even as real people flock to protest candidates Trump and Sanders in record numbers.On the foreign policy side the media is more or less sweeping the Saudi war in Yemen under the rug by offering only very occassional and subdued critique -- which happens to mimick the reservations White House holds about this greatest humanitarian disaster of the present in private. http://russia-insider.com/en/mainstream-misnomer-what-youre-reading-regime-media/ri16304
