I am hearing that the Kerry people aren't even answering MSM inquiries about this fabrication.

Well, I find that my deep curiosity compels me to reveal my ignorance. I've seen the acronym numerous times lately here on FR, but I can't figure its meaning. What the %^%^&*&^* does "MSM" stand for?

MSM (Acronym, from FR) - Main Stream Media (ABC/CBS/NBC/CNN/NY Times/Wash Post, etc.)

Also, see "Lame Stream Media" (No acronym at this time)

Some wags will also use LSM, presumably "Lame Stream Media," and MWDP, the "Media Wing of the Democrat Party."

According to Roget's Thesaurus, %^%^&*&^* and MSM are synonyms.

MSM = Main Stream Media.

As in NY Times, LA Times, ABC, CBS, Tome, Newsweek, etc., you know the 'old' media who can no longer control what gets reported to us peasants.

Some prefer "BM" for Bowel Movement, which is what the Broadcast Media often airs..
