Should we start calling it the "DEEP MEDIA?"

[ghostsinthemachine]

When referring to websites not operated by the TV, newspaper networks (THE MSN?). Sites like this one, Alternet, Commondreams, media matters, Al Jazeera,even Huffpost?

I've been trying to think of a word or phrase that conjures that up when talking about a story that your Right wing uncle (or aunt, no sexism when it comes to this stuff) doesn't see on the MSN. "Where did you get that?"

"The Deep media" seems like a good response instead of saying Al Jazeera where immediately they think it is some direct link to an Iman's mosque......

And yes feel free to dis Huffpost all you want Huffpost haters......

1. "Deep" suggests something else.

How about "worldwide media"?

2. New Media?

People's Media?

3. New media, I've tried that but it

didn't register... Deep media says something. Deep.

8. How about ''Digital Media''?

Says new, computers, and all of us online.

"Deep," in political terms, means ''Underground," as in "The Deep State," Peter Dale Scott's term describing the Secret Government. Scott borrowed it from a report describing a political scandal in Turkey, where a general, a prostitute and a drug dealer died in a car accident together, exposing the connections of those in the Deep State.

5. Deep media has a tendancy to invoke a shadowy feel to it...

almost as if there is a reason to distrust it, regardless of merit.

Personally, something along the lines of 'contemporary media' has a much more consumer-friendly feel to it.
