Main stream media in conservative minds has never included Fox. They don't repeat the chants and mantras of NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC. So quite literally, the dissenting opinion outlet is the exact opposite of mainstream. It's all about agendas. Not to be confused with popularity. Rush Limbaugh would call them Drive-by Media. Same damned thing.
the principal or dominant course, tendency, or trend:
adjective
belonging to or characteristic of a principal, dominant, or widely accepted group, movement, style, etc.:
You're failing to stick the landing with your mental gymnastics. I realize you're desperately trying to defend Trump daddies overuse of the woe-is-me MSM defense, but parroting a stupid argument doesn't make it any more viable.

Word games? I'm not the one trying to rewrite definitions to serve a narrative.
Not only have you butchered the definition of mainstream, you've ignored that mainstream media is actually a term that holds it's own definition.
mainstream media
NOUN
treated as singular or plural the mainstream media- Traditional or established broadcasting or publishing outlets
Your cognitive dissonance is embarrassing.

I think what Cale was getting at is maybe what we think of as "MSM" should be rethought due to Right's very powerful & popular media presence current day, be it tv, radio or the web. Perhaps Fox News Channel can no longer be considered an "Alternative" media source when it is #1 for 18 years in a row?
How about Sinclair Broadcast group gobbling up all the local stations in the country and having them parrot the same conservative & corporate bias stories? Reaching something over 70% of homes?

Your leftist nutjob hero Noam Chomsky defines the MSM like this:
"Noam Chomsky, in an essay titled, “What Makes Mainstream Media Mainstream,” argued that corporate media organizations attempt to “divert” people’s attention from serious matters. “What are the elite media, the agenda-setting ones? The New York Times and CBS, for example. Well, first of all, they are major, very profitable, corporations. Furthermore, most of them are either linked to, or outright owned by, much bigger corporations, like General Electric, Westinghouse, and so on,” wrote Chomsky. “They are way up at the top of the power structure of the private economy which is a very tyrannical structure. Corporations are basically tyrannies, hierarchic, controlled [sic] from above. If you don’t like what they are doing you get out. The major media are just part of that system.”"
Even the very porous Wikipedia doesn't agree with your definition. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mainstream_media
Stop being a fucking hack Cale. It is just disgusting.Si vis pacem, para bellum.

Try harder to paint me with that partisan brush of yours. I'm anti-stupid of left things as well, perhaps someday you'll be able to realize these topics aren't binary.

Also, you just said "seriously, no one has ever, ever contended that the MSM is anything other than parrots repeating the same narrative over" -- realize I just linked you to a prime example of how corporate-conservative Sinclair is doing this all over the entire US:
https://kinja-vh.akamaihd.net/i/prod...il/master.m3u8
Fox and Newscorp, and Sinclair, and the Tribune Co. and the enormous multitude of other heavy "conservative" outlets that are extremely wealthy / powerful / widespread are definitely not the little guys. They are the agenda-makers, too. And making it WORSE a number of these work hand in hand with this President and his Administration as an official Propaganda arm, they even trade staff back and forth in highly critical roles. For example, something like 20-25 people have gone through the revolving door between Fox and this White house. That's unprecedented & alarming.

I'm not suggesting Fox stands alone in garbage content, I'm just not accepting the bullshit sob story of MSM has it out for Trump when the #1 news source in the country has him on speed dial as his biggest supporters. You're just busy parroting Trump soundbites, try thinking critically for a change.
More assertion without substance.

The remainder is opinion, which is that his show offers.

And if you don't think walls work, why did CHAZ immediately establish borders? Fuck me man, seriously.Si vis pacem, para bellum.
