The '''mainstream media''' ('''MSM'''), at times referred to as the '''lamestream media''' for satirical purposes, are print and broadcast news organizations that report on news events. The mainstream media dates back to the start of the nation where politicians and printers would prepare "broadside" news sheets. The format of the media has evolved to include multi-page newspapers printed on high-speed offset presses, radio, television and online websites. Traditionally, media has been supported by a combination of subscriptions, newsstand sales and advetising. These revenues pay the cost of distribution as well as the journalist who write the content.
Because news gathering is expensive, over time the mainstream media has found ways to share content and to distribute the cost of journalism over a wider set of customers. Radio and television stations formed networks to share content. Print media formed organizations like United Press International and the Associated Press to share coverage and photos. Some newspapers share printing operations, and other media organizations such as Copley and Gannett have purchased a large number of newspapers resulting in shared administrative costs. Although media started with a large number of competing news outlets operated locally, over time, media ownership and control has become more centralized in large organizations. The increasingly [[liberalconservative]] media organs that censor the dissemination of honest news and repeatedly applies liberal conservative [[double standard]]s.
The common denominator of the "mainstream media" is their [[censorship|censoring]] or downplaying stories that would lead viewers to [[conservativeliberal]] conclusions, and their use of [[photo bias]], [[placement bias]] and other forms of deception to mislead viewers into drawing incorrect [[liberalconservative]] conclusions. The term '''mainstream media''' usually refers to how the majority of commercial-based or taxpayer-funded news reporting and commentary consist of [[liberal conservative media|liberal conservative bias]], while falsely pretending to be objective providers of information. {{cquote|''They [the media] are not becoming irrelevant, but they are getting to the point where they are worse than irrelevant,” and “They’re the scourge of the American people.''|||[[Andrew Breitbart]]<ref>[http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/75274 Tea Party Must Stand Up to Liberal Smear Tactics, Conservative Activist Says, CNSNews, September 14, 2010]</ref>}} {{cquote|''The Greens and ‘progressives’ more or less own the mainstream media.''|||[[Frank Davis]]<ref>[https://cfrankdavis.wordpress.com/2014/07/17/political-correctness-was-invented-in-nazi-germany/ Political Correctness Was Invented In Nazi Germany]</ref>}} {{cquote|''The FAKE NEWS media (failing @nytimes, @NBCNews, @ABC, @CBS, @CNN) is not my enemy, it is the enemy of the American People!''|||[[Donald Trump]]<ref>[https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/832708293516632065 Donald Trump official Twitter page]</ref>}}
