kosola

Fun-and-games in the "reality-based community". Hey, as long one is reliably moonbatty, what's a little payola on the side? Surely the MSM will wink and nod.

what is this MSM that y'all are mentioning all the time ?

MSM=MainStream Media. You know, like in ABCCBSNBCNYTWPCNNAP, etc. Wiki has the following explanation, which is not bad:

Sometimes mass media (and the news media in particular) are referred to as the "corporate media". Other references include the "mainstream media" (MSM). Technically, "mainstream media" includes outlets that are in harmony with the prevailing direction of influence in the culture at large. In the United States, usage of these terms often depends on the connotations the speaker wants to invoke. The term "corporate media" is often used by leftist media critics to imply that the mainstream media are themselves composed of large multinational corporations, and promote those interests (see e.g., Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting; Noam Chomsky's "propaganda model"). This is countered by right-wingers with the term "MSM", the acronym implying that the majority of mass media sources are dominated by leftist powers which are furthering their own agenda.

In case any one cares, here is a rant by the charming Kos, after getting caught with his pants down. (He's so mad at the world, and frothing at the mouth, that he can't even spell "sphere".)

And here are more details on the payola schemes (and influence peddling) from the "reality-based community" (mon pied).

Mucho hand-wringing on the Left. ROTFLMAO!
