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

The '''mainstream media''' ('''MSM'''), increasingly known as the '''lamestream media''', refers primarily to the traditional media organs that existed in the [[United States of America]] prior to the popularity of [[internet]] news organizations.

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 the popularity of internet news organizations, 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.  

 

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.
