[[Conservative]]s use the [[acronym]] '''MSM''' to describe the '''[[mainstream media]]''' and its [[liberal bias]].

==Mainstream Media==
===CBS===
In 2006 CBS.com wrote an article on blogs <ref> [http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/07/09/sunday/main1786520.shtml?source=search_story Brave New Blogging World]</ref> which accurately describes the conservative view of the MSM:

<blockquote> The blog format is only a couple of years old. But already, there's a tension between many bloggers and what they derisively call the MSM, the mainstream media.

"They don't believe that you are unbiased, objective, fair a lot of times. And so what they want is they want to read a lot of different sources themselves. because they don't trust the mainstream media…that would be ya'll," says Darr. </blockquote>

===CNN===
In 2006 CNN.com has an article from columnist R. Emmett Tyrell Jr. entitled "Tyrell: Goodbye MSM... and good riddance!" <ref> http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/03/02/tyrrell.msm/index.html?iref=newssearch</ref> The article talks about the [[alternative press]] vs the MSM:

<blockquote> So we hear this week that President George W. Bush is taking delight in the spread of the "alternative press" (read conservatives on the internet, in talk radio, in print, and at Fox) and the gentle detumesence of "mainstream media" (read liberal media, or more precisely, Democratic media). Well I join him in his satisfaction. </blockquote>

==Wikipedia==
A search of MSM on [[Wikipedia]] takes you to a list of acronyms. The first on the list is "Mainstream Media, often used in blogs". <ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MSM</ref> Following the Mainstream Media link redirects to "Mass media". Wikipedia says "The term 'MSM' or 'mainstream media' has been widely used in the [[blogosphere]] in discussion of the mass media and media bias."
