→Do liberals really use the initials MSM to allege conservative bias in the media?

:::The dictionary definition you gave, will serve at best for an [[etymology]] of the phrase ''mainstream media'' and not for a corrective to the common use of the term. Names stick, and often for reasons that no lexicographer would predict or can even understand after the fact.
:::Do you deny that ''[[The New York Times]]'' is losing circulation? See what I mean by defining ''mainstream media'' according to present circulation?
:::And as to US policies affecting the entire [[Earth]]--well, don't they? Does not the [[United States]] have the most powerful military of any nation-state now extant? As to "rid the earth": that kind of expression goes back to Roman times. For example: {{Bible quote|Then they raised their voices and shouted, "Rid the earth of him! He's not fit to live!"|book=Acts|chap=22|verses=22|version=NIV}}--[[User:TerryH|TerryH]]<sup>[[User talk:TerryH|Talk]]</sup> 09:39, 2 August 2007 (EDT)
Conservatives feel that everyone in the television MSM ''except'' Fox News has a liberal bias. That means ABC, CBS, NBC, and CNN. So the liberals think one station (Fox News) is conservative. That's leaves ABC, CBS, NBC and CNN with a liberal bias. It doesn't make sense for liberals to think that the 'MSM' is quite far to the right. --[[User:Crocoite|Crocoite]] 21:37, 1 August 2007 (EDT)
