What does MSM stand for?

[oecher3]

Alright, I don't quite have the lingo down but this seems a new fab word: MSM.

Even this nice interesting WSJ opion piece uses it:

Title: MSM Requiem
After the Dan Rather scandal, American journalism will never be the same.

...
s it annoying that the panel that issued the report did not find liberal bias in the preparation and airing of the Bush National Guard story? Yes, but only that. It's not as if anyone has to be told. I hate to be cynical, and this is cynical, but the panel that produced the report was not being paid by CBS to find liberal bias. It was being paid to do the anatomy of a failure with emphasis on who did what wrong. <...>

I suggest you read it and read its responses on the bottom linked.

Now what does MSM stand for and how does it relate to the Williams-gate situation?
