[[Fox News Channel|Fox News]] '''is not''' "mainstream media" within this definition, because they are opposed to everything that most MSM executive and city editors stand for. One need only compare the programming decisions and editorial positions of Fox News on one hand, and the consensus of Mainstream Media organs on the other, to reach this conclusion. Also, the [[Democratic Party|Democratic]] [[2008_Presidential_Election#Declared_Democratic_Party_Candidates|presidential candidates]] will not appear on presidential debates hosted by Fox News, but they will appear on all the other debates hosted by the Mainstream Media.

Both [[Conservative]]s and [[Liberals]] use the [[acronym]] '''MSM''' to describe the '''[[mainstream media]]''' and its apparent [[bias]] against their viewpoint.

===CBS===
In 2006 CBS.com wrote an article on blogs <ref> [http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/07/09/sunday/main1786520.shtml?source=search_story Brave New Blogging World]</ref> which accurately describes the conservative view of the MSM:
<blockquote> The blog format is only a couple of years old. But already, there's a tension between many bloggers and what they derisively call the MSM, the mainstream media.
"They don't believe that you are unbiased, objective, fair a lot of times. And so what they want is they want to read a lot of different sources themselves. because they don't trust the mainstream media…that would be ya'll," says Darr. </blockquote>
===CNN===
In 2006 CNN.com has an article from columnist R. Emmett Tyrell Jr. entitled "Tyrell: Goodbye MSM... and good riddance!" <ref> http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/03/02/tyrrell.msm/index.html?iref=newssearch</ref> The article talks about the [[alternative press]] vs the MSM:
<blockquote> So we hear this week that President George W. Bush is taking delight in the spread of the "alternative press" (read conservatives on the internet, in talk radio, in print, and at Fox) and the gentle detumesence of "mainstream media" (read liberal media, or more precisely, Democratic media). Well I join him in his satisfaction. </blockquote>
