Reason #546453247 Why I Hate The M$M
Edited on Mon Sep-08-08 12:15 PM by Eric Condon
Right now on cnn.com, the top story on the Political Ticker is "CNN Poll: Race Dead Even."

However, on the cnn.com front page, the link that takes you to that story reads "Ticker: CNN Poll Shows Bad News For Obama."


Why do they even bother trying to hide it anymore?

1. Then why do you give them credence by calling them "mainstream??"
:crazy:

There's nothing "MS" about the Corporate M.

(While you probably think "M$M" is coy, it still advances the "mainstream" meme.)

2. Because unfortunately, though their politics and credibility may not be mainstream,
they most certainly still ARE mainstream in terms of their ability to reach voters, many of whom may well be good at heart and have the country's best interest at heart, but who may well have never heard of sources like DU and Kos.

Calling them the MSM is not giving them credence; in fact, maybe I just read this site too much, but I find that the term "MSM" is almost always used pejoratively.
