Lying Mainstream Media (LMSM)

American journalist Robert Parry wrote “LMSM, the ‘Lying Mainstream Media’” for the Washington (DC) Post in June 2005. Parry believed that the mainstream media (MSM) had accepted U.S. President George W. Bush’s lies about the war in Iraq. The term “LMSM” has been infrequently used.

“Is liberal MSM aka LMSM the best new acronym ever or what?” was cited in print in 2007, but “LMSM” usually means “lying MSM” and not “liberal MSM.”

Robert Parry: LMSM, the ‘Lying Mainstream Media’
The Washington Post is reasserting its august judgment over what qualifies as news in the face of citizen complaints that it and other mainstream media outlets neglected leaked British memos about the deceptions behind George W. Bush’s war in Iraq.

The Continuing Collapse of the LMSM
While the struggling Obama/Pelosi economy is certainly a factor, the LMSM continues to pay a horrific and well deserved price for being the mouthpiece for the Obama Administration.
Coupled with CNN’s decline, well, I’m tap dancing at the LMSM slow motion economic suicide!
