==Definition==
Controversy exists over the meaning and definition of the terms '''Mainstream Media''' or '''MSM'''. Some consider the '''mainstream media''' to consist primarily of those media organs that existed in the [[United States of America]] prior to 1987, and especially any of those media organs that continue to exist today. Others take a view that the term 'mainstream', no matter the context, simply refers to 'that which is most popular'.
