I do not get this from her blog, but as a tweet of hers when it was re-tweeted by someone I follow. I never heard of her before today, but thought the term "Assault Media" deserved widespread notice around there here parts.

From now on, that's how I will refer to them. I don't even know if she came up with the term.


TOPICS: Society
KEYWORDS: lamestreammedia; mainstreammedia; prarmofdnc
She says she is a Christian conservative in Houston who does digital media strategy. But most of all, she says, she's a mom.

You’re, of course, right; but it works so well for “journalists.” And great tag line...

The MSM runs 24/7. That's pretty high-capacity news dissemination just spraying news out indiscriminately. No one needs 24/7 news. The MSM should be limited to two hours of news per day, one hour in the morning and one hour in the evening. Background checks and mental health screening for all MSM employees should be mandatory.

Yes I’m convinced the MSM went from “significant liberal bias” to “full journ-0-list members of the Baraqqi regime” in early 2008.

Thanks! And in spite of the FCC the MSM isn’t very well-regulated either. I recommend that 0bama replace all of the CEOs and start a government-run MSM union using the confiscated funds of all the bond holders. He has precedent to do it.

Well excuuuuuuuse me, for missing your posts where you used the term ‘assault media.’ Yes indeed...posts speak for themselves, and yours speaks eloquently for you.

Assault media? Yeah, they made Bush miserable for eight years by assaulting virtually everything he did as President. Obama is in the first year of his second term and is yet to be assaulted by the liberal media on any issue ... they're still on honeymoon mode with their ‘chosen’ one.
