Look out people! MSM is whoring it up again!
The economy is booming!
New jobs created!
North Korea has nukes! Something must be done!
Bush is going to Moscow! Bush talks about how the Americans defeated Nazism!

They just can't help themselves, can they?

1. For the FIVE BILLIONTH time...
...call it the CMC ("corporate media cartel"), not the "mainsteam media." If you want to lose an argument in the eyes of the general public, all you need to do to discredit yourself is to "admit" that your opponents are "mainstream."

I don't know why I have to make this point over and over. It seems as if some Democrats have a death wish.

:grr:

4. That's great
I hadn't heard that before. We need to keep saying it till the Republics start saying it.

7. I recall we used to refer to it as "Corporate Media"
not that long ago.

Hmm. Very good point. How'd that "mainstream" meme get in here?

3. I believe that a more accurate word would be "still".
"Again" implies that they stopped at some point.

5. My thought as well.
Edited on Fri May-06-05 06:19 PM by notsodumbhillbilly
"again" is inaccurate.
