The MSM should really be recognized as the Fringe Media

it is. This media has cheerleadered a nation into an acceptance of unnecessary war, torture, fiscal instability, and a general degradation of the social standards and values that once defined us as a nation of "good guys". They are in no way main stream. Their elitist acceptance of influence peddling,shady elections,cronyism, profiteering,and the revocation of the Constitution, does NOT reflect the majority of Americans. THEY are Fringe! WE are mainstream! We are the majority! Don't ever forget it!

3. But at least you and I and millions and millions of others recognize

that fact. They are revealing themselves. The truth is out there - it really is. It is oozing under the doors and wafting through the vents of American houses. The Russerts and the Mathews and the Limbaughs and the Coulters and the Savages and the Fox Newes are just sounding weirder and weirder and stranger and stranger as they just divorce themselves from reality.

4. They certainly act like it!

I was noticing the other day how the Dems have to constantly defend themselves from the whole "cut and run" schtick and yet, somehow, the Republicans and the Administration are never asked to justify REMAINING in an unpopular, unsucessful foreign entanglement (nation building, gasp! no less). The anchors always act like the Dems are in the minority, when in fact, they are reflecting the feelings of a majority of Americans.
