I Wanna Write for the MSM

"There's no whore like an old whore." - Brian Mulroney (telling the truth for a change)

After all, money is money. And hey, what the heck, I've been involved with, gulp, TV and radio ad jingles (may G-d forgive me), so how much lower is there to go?
I can do this. How bout some briefs?...

Republican Senator Greg Ball wants to torture Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the child charged in the Boston Marathon incident. Critics say Senator Ball, a Republican, is typical of the cruelty inherent in the Republican Party.

Investigators have been questioning Dzhokhar Tsarnaev about what drove he and his brother to act out in such an unfortunate way. So far, all that's known for sure is it all had nothing to do with a great Religion of Peace™.

Justin Trudeau, Liberal Party Leader and son of the late, great Prime Minister, wowed yet another adoring throng of average Canadians at Carleton University yesterday. Analysts say Trudeau's clearly vast intelligence, deep insight and grasp of issues are keys to his universal appeal.

CAIR-Canada is concerned the recent incidents involving the Boston Marathon and Via Rail will only add to the epidemic of Islamophobic attacks the vast majority of Muslims are already enduring. They're recommending Canada adopt Shariah law as a remedy. Many leading analysts agree.

Clashes between Israeli forces and Palestinian people have many leading analysts wondering what it will take for Israel to finally agree to peace in the Middle East.

By George, I think I've got it!

Mainstream? Not Even Close

So, 98% of British Columbians don't play along with Live Like North Korea Hour despite its relentless hyping by the so-called "mainstream media".
In Alberta, its the proverbial lead balloon. Again.

While, here in Burnaby, out of about 300,000 people, the same "almost 200" (wow!) who don't like pipelines, get top of the news coverage from the local "MSM" of their every utterance and stunt.

Time and again I notice something, and I know I'm not alone. The so-called "mainstream media" really aren't mainstream at all, are they?

I mean, come on, the numbers would dictate (demonstrated public interest = sponsors. And the reverse is true) that Gaia Worshipers' Self-Flagellation Hour should have merited no more than a passing mention at most, not the in your face biggest-damn-thing-imaginable treatment it and its associated week, day, fortnight etc. recieve from the soi-disant "mainstream" media.

These fringe loony events are clearly not all that interesting or meaningful to the overwhelming preponderance of the populace (who have their heads screwed on straight. Well, straighter at least.)

Ninety-eight percent of British Columbians gave Lets Live Medieval Hour a pass.
So, what wasn't covered by the "MSM" while they were giving Maurice Strong Hour (I got a million of 'em) coverage worthy of a manned landing on Mars? That meets a welcoming committee.

And when it comes to pipeline expansion, the story is clearly that Burnaby is fine with it.
300,000 to 200.

You know, someone's going to have to come up with a better handle, just the right handle, for this bunch as they dodder off to the trash can of history. Twitter might be just the medium, you know #NewNameForMainstreamMedia sort of thing.

Hmmmmm, let's see, Dinomedia? Sunset Media? Progprop Media? Last Century Media? That's a bit long. Nicely descriptive, though ... Flushing Themselves Media ... Huh? Oh, right, sorry. Anyway,
 

Let me nutshell this, its about perspective. Take another look at that pic up top.

Yeah, so, its a pic of Roger Daltrey, right?

Exactly.

You see Roger Daltrey.

Not some damn fringe.

 ... Fringe Media?

Proof Hollywood and the MSM Aren't Out of Touch

Rasmussen are reporting that a whopping six percent of Americans figure Hugo Chavez was a real good guy.
See?
