Freepers call Newsmax, WND and FR 'the numedia' or 'new media'

[Zuni]

they refer to network news, newspapers, PBS, NPR, CNN, magazines and anything that has any basis in reality 'the old media', which is now 'dead' or 'dying'.

9. I think they've got it backwards. Again.

Larger numbers of people are recognizing Newsmax, Fox, conservative talk radio, and all the rest of it as pure propaganda. I hear jokes about Fox News these days from people who watched it regularly as a legitimate news source just 4 years ago.

The whole far-right submedia is being exposed these days.

11. Often as not, they call themselves the new media

I was bewildered by their constant references to the MSM and had to resort to Google to find out it's "mainstream media." Idiots still believe in the liberal media myth. They reeeeeally hate the NYT (especially this week), which is pretty funny, and sometimes refer to us as Clymers, which at least indicates they have better memories than I do. (I'd forgotten the guy's name; he was the target of Bush & Cheney's: "What an asshole!" "Yeah, big time" routine.)
