Rich Logis picked ‘Mainstream Media’. I’m sure you have a few, yourselves.

American Thinker: A Phrase to Retire in 2018: ‘Mainstream Media’
As President Trump announced his 2017 “Fake News Awards,” phrases and terms popularized over the years, such as “liberal media”; “mainstream media”; and, more recently, “fake news,” were bandied about by those on both the left and the right (especially from that extra-froth frother from the mouth Jim Acosta of CNN).
With a new political year underway, my sincere hope is that pundits and Americans retire these labels.
The mainstream media? Most major legacy American media, particularly newspapers and cable television news networks, are Pravda-esque publicists and cover-uppers for the Democratic Party. As evidenced by how red the 2016 election map was, Democrat policies and politics certainly are not mainstream.
The liberal media? The original American liberals were our heroic Founders; do MSNBC, The Washington Post, and Media Matters for America really conjure up the wisdom and genius of Washington, Jefferson, and Franklin?
A more fitting descriptor is the DMIC: Democrat Media Industrial Complex. MORE

Screw you! When players are loose with the ball, fumble, throw interceptions and take foolish risks, are they ever hailed as “being too LIBERAL?”
No. Sick of sports labeling stupidity as “conservative.”
