No, in this case "the mainstream media" is whoever will do the governments bidding without actually investigating the content. Presently, any outlets of dissenting opinion are labeled "un-American", "crackpots", and "traitors"...........
There is precious little dissenting opinion now that a handful of corporations control most of our news media. said by M0rpheus:
Just like religion, a good administration invites scrutiny. This one is attempting to legislate your rights to know what they are doing...
This is not a good administration, neither was the previous one. Corruption and incompetence have become acceptable at the highest levels of government and industry. |

Exactly my point. Even if there are reporters here who want to criticize, they have to think twice about the consequences... Why write/say it if you will have to apologize and equivocate later (anyone watch Politically Incorrect?). Provided, of course, that you will even be allowed to say it.

Or the one before that, Or the one before that, Etc...
With each new administration it gets worse, as the powers-that-be become more and more consolidated. Revising history in order to foster the "correct" responses from us.
I can name 30+ "conservative" commentators on T.V./radio today. How many "liberals" can you name?

Maybe you can identify them, because the identify themselves, most of the liberals ones "say oh no we aren't liberals" while they vote about 95% with liberal causes, when they are the national news services.

| The huge majority of print and television media journalists are liberal. No secret and no debate there. The only place conservative media personalities dominate in numbers is in the field of talk radio.
As for identifying who is liberal and who is conservative in either the news media or the news itself, it is easy. If someone is liberal their name and title, if any, is just given. For instance Columnist and commentator John Smith. This is no matter how liberal he is or how liberal of an organization he may represent or be a spokesperson for. If on the other hand he is a conservative he will almost always be identified as "conservative" columnist and commentator John Smith.
Simple stuff really.
