 |
|
A very simple and a very effective tactic to expose and discredit the Corrupt Liberal Media(CLM), would be to stop calling them "mainstream" (MSM) media.
By using "mainstream" you say that this media is in the mainstream and imply that their critics are not!
"CORRUPT" is the key word here. Journalism should be an honorable profession. But they are corrupt to the core.
If the term Corrupt Liberal Media replaces "Mainstream" and becomes a household word, it will sting these pompus frauds in the newsrooms everytime they read or hear it.
This simple tactic will cost no money and will be very effective.
Go for it people! |

I think a more effective term is one that is already starting to be used "out there".
Call them "Old Media" or OM instead of Main Stream Media or MSM.

Good ID Charley!

The Old Corrupt Media" Has a nice ring to it. |

We seem to be posting similar things on multiple major topics. Here's my response to another posting.

You and I have been proposing the same thing for some time now. We seem to agree completely that any use of the term MSM is too deferential and too reverent for the frauds to whom the term refers.
You've proposed CLM while I've proposed OIM (Old Irrelevant Media). We agree on the word Media. My word Irrelevant probably is too cumbersome for everyday language so it should go. I chose it because when Israel labeled Arafat irrelevant, it proved extremely effective. Too, many consider the word Corrupt too incendiary to be used in everyday language and don't wish to be labeled as radical. I'm not too picky as long as it indicates disrespect and may easily be incorporated into everyday language.
How about a compromise? OLM? LIM? ILM? OM? IM? Something new? Terms like unfit, empty, trivial, petty, etc., come to mind. |

Old Corrupt Media sounds good to me.
Let's call the New Media the ARM - Alternative Right Media.
The ARM is coming on strong...... |

If we want to promote a term that can catch on in the culture I also suggest using OM or OLM - while corrupt is indeed a strong word and apt - I don't think many independents or Dems will ever use it. Sooooooo....who is your audience? If you want it to really catch on we should use OM or OLM to replace MSM and then NM or just say "New Media."
It will be great, for instance, when some talking head conservative can say, yeah, Curic is just saying that because she's part of the OLM or Old Liberal Media while Hugh Hewitt is part of the New Media...
Along these lines blogosphere and bloggers have come into their own certainly this election and one of my favorite terms I found right here (although I've no idea who cam up with it):
Pajamahadeen! (sort of a side blow on the Islamo fascists while we're at it...)

Actually *I* proposed Old Irrelevant Media and left a fairly long post on the reasons why.
But who's counting.

These are all good suggestions - I think OM or perhaps OLM have the best chance to catch on and extend a negative MSM critique into the cultural milieu.

I say we go with OLM, because we have not rendered them fully irrelevant. Yet.
Tom? Ya wanna arm wrestle over who came up with OIM?

I propose, demagogic press, DP. They did everything they could to foist a Stalin on us. What mystifies me is, they must have know what kind of person John Fraud was. How did they think they could control him? I may be giving them more intelligence than they deserve.

What about MAIN SCREAM MEDIA. I think that about describes them.
"The Shrill Babble of the Left" or "TUSH BALL"
