Controversy exists over the meaning and definition of the terms '''mainstream media''' ('''MSM''')<ref>

Both [[conservative]]s and [[liberal]]s use the [[acronym]] '''MSM''' to describe the '''mainstream media'''</ref>. 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'. In reality, they are the "Legacy Media", because their long held power with the masses has been severely reduced by technology. Among conservatives, the term usually refers to the overwhelming majority of news reporting and commentary as consisting of [[liberal media | liberal bias]], while presenting themselves as objective reporting mediums.
