Whatever the right thinks it is made mainstream. The media parades them on and they

talk about it. General Patreaus comes to mind. The media is spreading the RW idea that this is Bengazi related. "Why was the FBI even investigating etc..." When the left questions things such as daily breifings that state Ben Ladin determined to strike in the US we can't get our people on any news outlet to talk about it. You all know what I'm talking about. The list goes on and on. The right gets to do all the talking and their points are repeated. The left has to listen to the right's opinion of their points not their own.

1. Well I would take heart, "mainstream" is changing meaning.

The web has little truck with the rest of the media.

2. +1, rain. You're 100% right.

They're all owned by super rich right wingers. The repugs 'trickle down' on our heads, and the media reports it is raining.

There are some good reporters and journalists in most of the print and televised media sources, though. They try to report the bull crap moves the repugs make, in the face of editorial and ownership opposition. When they get some good stories out, the right wing tells us how liberal the media is.

When the repugs win an election, we have to have repug pundits and media operatives on the tube as guest experts. When the Dems win, we have to have repug pundits on the tube, in the name of balance.

Print media is privately owned, so people can vote with their pocket books, but the airwaves are owned by the public. They shouldn't be permitted to be used to lie to the public.
