-What does the discussion of Wikiepdia here have to do with anything? I'm confused. [[User:PortlyMort|PortlyMort]] 16:12, 31 July 2007 (EDT)

-:I removed that bit. Seems to be a mark of an unhealthy obession with Wikipedia. If it's supposed to illustrate some sort of bias (which isn't readily apparent), explain it and put it on the Bias in Wikipedia page. [[User:PortlyMort|PortlyMort]] 22:57, 31 July 2007 (EDT)
-== Do liberals really use the initials MSM to allege conservative bias in the media? ==
-I don't see that. What I ''do'' see is most [[liberal]]s denying that the MSM have any bias at all. If anyone is accusing the MSM of having a conservative bias, it is usually those who are even further to the left--like the Daily Kos.--[[User:TerryH|TerryH]]<sup>[[User talk:TerryH|Talk]]</sup> 21:18, 1 August 2007 (EDT)
-Yes, they do.   All sides of the political spectrum tend to feel that their views are not properly represented in the 'mainstream media', and given the fact that Fox News' viewing figures are now greater than CNN's, there's no denying - whatever one's views - that there are widely-aired viewpoints that do not concur with a liberal agenda.   Most liberals would definitely feel that the 'MSM' is quite far to the right.   [[User:BrianRobertson|BrianRobertson]] 21:24, 1 August 2007 (EDT)
-Well, I'll tell you what: why don't you go dig up a survey of people who describe themselves as liberal. Seems to me as though you're counting the voices of liberal politicians, editors, anchors, ''et cetera''.--[[User:TerryH|TerryH]]<sup>[[User talk:TerryH|Talk]]</sup> 21:29, 1 August 2007 (EDT)
-Oh, and one more thing: Don't tell me that Fox News is part of the MSM. It's not, they never pretend to be, and indeed they are proud to say that they are not.--[[User:TerryH|TerryH]]<sup>[[User talk:TerryH|Talk]]</sup> 21:32, 1 August 2007 (EDT)
-I could've swore that MSM-status was decided by how mainstream something was, not whether or not it claimed to be mainstream... [[User:Kazumaru|Kazumaru]] 21:35, 1 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)
-It's also used in any case where ABC, CBS, NBC or CNN understate something that Liberals feel to be a big issue, or taking the Administration's side just to be safe. [[User:Kazumaru|Kazumaru]] 21:39, 1 August 2007 (EDT)
