We’ve heard a lot over the past several months about the shortcomings of the MSM (Main Stream Media). They seem oblivious to the pulse of their audience. A recent poll shows that an increasing majority of MSA (Main Stream America) believes the country is woefully going in the wrong direction (see http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/59934). And yet the MSM has chosen not to pick up the story and report it.
Now, I could talk about the definition of “Main Stream” and wonder who is really in it: the media or the American people. But that really isn’t the story to me. What’s really interesting is how the MSM has failed to capture the minds of the MSA… this time. They have functioned now for months as Mr. Obama’s spin machine… trying to manipulate what the MSA hears and believes. But despite the MSM’s one-sided and heavy-handed progressive political agenda, the MSA still believes that Mr. Obama’s country is seriously going in the wrong direction.
That’s really good news to me… a basicguy in the main stream of America. I’ve had to search far and wide for media that represents what most American’s believe in and bring some sanity back into the argument in this great land. As the MSA continues to search as I have and abandons the MSM, maybe they’ll come to their senses… it’s not likely… but one can hope.
Later the same day:
Well, well, what do you know? As I watched ABC’s World News, what did Diane Sawyer report on? The very poll I mentioned above. Now that was unexpected. Is this a course change… or a crumb to keep MSA interested? As always, time will tell.

A crumb, perhaps. But I think it's more diabolical than that. I think Ms. Sawyer was touting herself and her ilk as the ones the MSA need to listen to. In her mind, she is the voice of the MSA! Or, does she actually recognize the difference and is still touting herself and her ilk as the ones the MSA should listen to.
The Gadianton Robbers are running the government.
