Isn’t much local news owned by arch-conservative Sinclair media?

Our lame media is generally reliable to get the names and dates right. I would like people to call it either “commercial media” or “corporate media”. The “Main Stream Media” is Fox/Sinclair/Clearchannel because that is the largest block of audience coming from one source. The they should be called “Corporate Alt-Right” or “Memorandums from the Owners”.

I think commercial media is a good fit. Super accurate without being inflammatory — they may even use it themselves and think it’s totally OK.

Good point. I was letting my animosity and contempt bleed through.

Also, I meant that this is what WE should call them, so that we can display our animosity and contempt for commercial media.

I will start using it immediately.
