Posting personal information is fun. Everyone should try it at least once.

The Mainstream Media in the United States would be most easily described as ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, CNN, MSNBC, Clear Channel Communications, Reuters, The bumociated Press, The New York Times, The LA Times, The Washington Post, and The Wall Street Journal. All above the above, save for the Wall Street Journal are media outlets that have shown in the last election that they give large amounts of face time to Democrats and which portray Democrats or “Liberals” in a positive light, while demonizing and barely showing Republican or “Conservative” figures.

The Wall Street Journal is primarily a Republican publication as it mostly caters to rich white land owners.

There are exceptions on each channel, some of the talk show news hosts are pretty damn conservative, however the primary delivery of news is done from the standpoint liberal bias.

When saying that an individual has been brainwashed by the mainstream media. We are saying that they have made the mainstream media their primary source of information and that they are closed off to the concepts we are trying to tell them because it directly contradicts what we are trying to tell them. We are aware of and recognize the disconfirmation bias that comes with the individuals who believe everything they hear on TV.

Disconfirmation Bias is when an individual is confronted with information new to them that directly contradicts their world view, and then they turn right around and tell themselves the other person is inherently wrong because they have heard otherwise. It is pretty common in religious conversations.

The term Mainstream Media is not easily abused. The term is USUALLY brushed off by individuals who are subject to the kind of deluded denial found in Disconfirmation Bias.
