The Mainstream Media — MSM as they are known on the Internet. One of the main reasons I began blogging in the first place was to vent my frustration that the American MSM did not report on issues I cared about or felt newsworthy. During the Iraq war, I had to turn to the British or German press to get an accurate picture of what was happening. During the 2008 Election campaign, I have turned to the Internet and developed trusted sources their to supplement or even replace the MSM as a source of information. I have stopped watching the nightly news because it is canned and spoon-fed news designed to promote whatever agenda the MSM pundits have. I am sick of it.
So, I was happy to learn that Elizabeth Edwards, the intelligent and successful wife of former Sen. John Edwards, feels much the same way. She contributed to the New York Times with an op-ed piece entitled ‘Bowling 1, Health Care 0′ this morning on the nonsensical reporting and coverage of the 2008 election campaign. The Internet has set us free of the biases and agenda of the MSM. They cannot control us any more. We have other sources of information.
Thank God.
