Correcting the Internet

Umkay, from reading the various blogs I picked up the term MSM for Main Stream Media. I had a poster who inquired as to the meaning of the TLA (Three Letter Acronym).

I have come across various TLA's and if they do not become apparent by context, I would do a google search on them. For example: Define MSM. The internet has quite a bit of information at your fingertips.

If you had looked up MSM you would have found the following link: urban Dictionary

MSM:
  1. "mainstream media", major TV networks and large newspapers. Blogs are eating into MSM eyeball share.
  2. Abbreviation for "mainstream media". No matter who you are, they're not on your side.
    "Hey, Republican friend, did you see that news story on Bush?"
    "Yeah, the MSM is so biased."
    "Hey, Democrat friend, did you see that news story on Bush?"
    "Yeah, the MSM is so biased."
  3. An acronym referring to the mainstream media The 'MSM' is pretty much everything but the blogosphere.
If you want to know why there is so much fear and hatred and blue .vs. red states, look no further then the newspapers and broadcast news. In fact, stop looking at them. Start finding some blogs that cater to your views and some that don't.

That makes more sense. I thought that "Master Sargeant Major" musta been pretty biased for an officer.

LMAO, Lee! Wonderful! I feel the same way, but never knew how to word my thoughts so well about MSM.

I hope you are doing well.
