[QUOTE="trplnkl, post: 817574, member: 13254"] Disclaimer: Hubrat, not picking on you, just quoted you because your statement was the easiest to find. We all seem to use "Mainstream media" a lot, but IMO we are incorrectly using the term. FoxNews, with their viewer ratings is as mainstream as all the other major networks. The problem is, they all have an agenda and present tier version of the "truth, justice and the American way", even the not so mainstream online "news" outlets, watchdogs, truth claiming wannabes have agendas. IMHO, none of them should be held up as final authority. All the networks seem to throw in an "agenda opposing" guest, show or news piece to show they are being "fair and balanced" when that is actually the further thing from their thoughts. It seems so simple, yet so complicated. Of course I would not expect to see a piece on MSNBC or CNN about Dayton's changing of test requirements anymore than I would expect to hear the head guy at the NAACP to say they endorsed lowering acceptable test grades, would you? I mean really...would you? [/QUOTE]
