MSM
n.— «With Dan Rather’s slow motion sacking reaching its not-so-thrilling climax last evening (I intended to watch, but got the TV schedule mixed up, and wasn’t all that disappointed to realize I’d missed it) everybody seems to be talking about either Memogate or the decline of the establishment news organizations (or in blogosphere parlance, the MSM).» —“Can The Network News Be Saved?” by WWB The Washington Canard Mar. 10, 2005.
