.....The Main Stream media is now being beset upon .....<

Time to reintroduce basic English orthography to the school curriculum.
"Media" is a plural. "Media is" is a solecism. "Beset" does not invite the use of "upon", as in "set upon". Don't these people have proofreaders?

Never mind the blatant grotesquery inherent in the myriad grammatical malapropisms employed by the inarguable dunce who scribbled this, his bludgeoning and butchery of punctuation alone mark him illegibly ineligible for the author-ity he unconvincingly feigns.
A real shame, too, as the gravitas and import of his topic deserve, nay, demand far better. It is as insulting an affrontery to the sensibilities as it is to the improbably crucial subject matter. Perhaps even so by design.
Makes is easier to ridicule the entire concept if the scribe is an epigraphic disaster worthy only of the most sincere and voluble derision.
Simply put.
