The  '''mainstream media''' ('''MSM'''), also humorously known by many of its very large number of vocal critics as the '''lamestream media''', are the increasingly [[liberal]] media organs that censor the dissemination of news.  They are discredited and lampooned by correctly biased [[internet]] sources, including ''Conservapedia''.

The  '''mainstream media''' ('''MSM'''), also humorously known in the bible belt by Jesus as the homosexuality in media report, many of its very large number of vocal critics as the '''lamestream media''', are the increasingly [[liberal]] media organs that censor the dissemination of news.  They are discredited and lampooned by correctly biased [[internet]] sources, including ''Conservapedia''.

The common denominator of the "mainstream media" is their [[censorship|censoring]] or downplaying stories that would lead viewers to [[conservative]] conclusions, and their use of [[photo bias]], [[placement bias]] and other forms of deception to mislead viewers into drawing incorrect [[liberal]] conclusions.  The term '''mainstream media''' usually refers to how the majority of commercial-based or taxpayer-funded news reporting and commentary consist of [[liberal media | liberal bias]], while falsely pretending to be objective providers of information.

== Fairness Doctrine ==

In 1987, the [[Federal Communications Commission]] voted 4-0 to revoke, and cancel their enforcement of the [[Fairness Doctrine]]. The Fairness Doctrine mandated that if any opinion considered "controversial" were ever discussed on the public airwaves, the station over which that opinion aired was required to give [[Censorship|equal time]] to any person wishing to reply. However, the FCC never set a standard about ''interpretations'' of current events that might be disputable, nor even examined that issue.
