"main stream media" is also a radical right calling card. There are nothing good that comes out of using MSM and assorted catch phrases.

Big fan of Chomsky, but his usage of the term mainstream media is not what that term has been co-opted to mean by some of the various forces he has, and is, warning us about.

Mainstream media was a thing way before it being co-opted by the far-right. And I really dislike the idea of having to update my vocabulary because a pack of morons decided to abuse the term.
Mainstream media is the media that is mainstream. I don't give a flying fuck if the GOP decide it means only corporate "left" media.

'Socialism', 'liberal', 'terrorist', 'torture', etc... Allowing brainwashed loons and their puppeteers to decide what words mean is a mug's game, and I suggest you stop playing.

You seem to think you know a heck of a lot about me ...
You pre-judge people for using the words mainstream media; and I've given you the reasons I feel that's dumb and on the wrong side.

Your argument is "you don't know me", so I think we can end this chat there.
