Main Street Media (MSM)

The “mainstream media” (MSM) refers to the popular media—a city’s local newspapers, television stations, radio stations, and the national media counterparts. Conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh has used the term “Main Street media” (MSM)—usually in jest and prefaced with “so-called” because he believes that the “MSM” doesn’t fairly cover the conservative side of the news.
 
The term “main street media” has been cited in print since at least 1996.

Rush is on and popular simply because the public is literally hungry for the conservative point of view.  The main street media is in part to blame for this, they spend too much time propogandizing on their own.

Kerry Lied, MSM Sighed
Have you seen the Naval Academy records? No? That is because he did NOT sign the form 180. He is trying to fake everyone out, and the “main street media” doesn’t know enough to know they have been lied to. What do you expect? Investigative knowledge? You are living in dream land. Have a great day.

RUSH: (...) This is David Shuster, PMSNBC, and illustrates the ignorance.  It illustrates the shill. It illustrates the depths of unprofessionalism and catastrophe to which the Main Street media has shrunk.

RUSH: (...) Remember, now, we have two or three medias—or mediums—and the Main Street media, people in that audience have no idea that it’s a hoax.  It’s never been reported.

This is what we are up against.  Any time an opportunity exists to illustrate the journalistic fraud and malpractice that we’re faced with every day when looking at so-called Main Street media, I’m gonna take it.
